- Comment on I'm gonna be really pissed if my chtistofascist parents were right 12 hours ago:
Well, they’re not right if they were harping on “Jesus is coming again!” but other than that, I too might owe Mom & Dad and apology.
More clearly than ever in my life, I can see the end — the end of me, the end of America (whatever that really was), and the end of everything. It’s all so clear, it’s difficult to see anything else, even when I turn away.
- Comment on Don't ya know, guns can just ✨ magically appear✨ so any attempt to ban them is impossible. Dumb liberalssss tryna to take away my GOD GIVEN right to murder people!!11! 6 days ago:
Can dems stop banning guns?
Fear of Democrats banning guns is a long-time Republican and NRA talking point, but bogus. I sometimes hear Democrats (ie, ordinary people who vote blue) call for banning guns. The number of elected Democrats in any office, though, who propose banning guns, is very near zero, and that number becomes vanishingly smaller for higher officials, such as members of the US Congress.
- Comment on what is your opinion on mastodon and other fediverse microblogging sites?? as opposed to forum-type websites 2 months ago:
It’s like a light bulb reading these comments. I’ve barely touched social media, wondered why it’s of no interest to me, but suddenly I grok it. I prefer the intelligent conversation (and stupid takes too, like mine) of a forum like Lemmy, where there’s a much better IQ/batting average than ‘social media’.
- Comment on In general, people on Lemmy don't want high effort or high quality posts that take longer than 30 seconds to digest. 3 months ago:
If you’re doing it [anything] for an audience more than you’re doing it for yourself, you’ll always be disappointed.
- Comment on Ex-president of Brazil Jair Bolsonaro could face money-laundering charges 8 months ago:
Brazilian Presidents are not above the law.
- Comment on How world leaders responded to Iran's drone attack on Israel? 10 months ago:
This ‘attack’ is like the joker in home room ‘attacking’ the teacher with a spitball. It’s nothing much, and certainly nothing “world leaders” need to worriedly respond to.
- Comment on Firefox now supports clean URLs with the new "Copy link without site tracking" option 1 year ago:
Firefox, or Mozilla, continues to be the only browser (at least among the biggies) that’s for the users, not the trackers and marketers.
- Comment on Firefox now supports clean URLs with the new "Copy link without site tracking" option 1 year ago:
Hadn’t thought of that, and it makes sense. Thanks.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
We’re an anarcho-syndicalist commune, we take turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week.
- Comment on Can anyone make a community like one would on reddit? 1 year ago:
Depends on the instance. Here on Lemmy.World, it’s allowed and encouraged, but on some instances they don’t want the traffic and storage.
- Comment on Various instances going offline lately. Is there a place that lists the current status of major instances? 1 year ago:
This is helpful, for the largest instances:
