  Well I mostly was already familiar with “if and only if” terminology from some math class many years ago. So once you said iff stands for “if and only if” I didn’t really look to close at the rest of your comment bc I felt like I already understood.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's a matter of perspective⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Cool, TIL

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's a matter of perspective⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree with you on that.

  But alternatively: humans can only see a portion of the whole reality of a given situation, and that specific angle can often be misleading.

  Are “Iffs” a thing? I’ve been missing out.

  It also has less users than sh.itjust.works and lemm.ee. And way less compared to lemmy.world but I guess they aren’t linked on the joinlemmy site for some reason

  Yeah that’s what I meant, very true. But the setting is much easier to optimize.

  I think you owe me an apology. It took me a while to copy paste all that senseless vitriol and you won’t even acknowledge your mistake. Disappointing.

  Look at their comment history. They can’t go two days without getting in a dig at Americans. Even when it’s completely irrelevant and off topic. I’m just pointing out that this person has a bone to pick and not to take it personally.

  The funny part is that they’re often completely wrong when they try to talk shit. Like here, thinking that India having a larger population than the US is some kind of gotcha moment, despite less than 10% of that population speaking English.

  I’ll just transcribe a few lovely comments from our good friend Mr Blott.

  Glock pistols popular in US because of the proliferation of fucking cowards

  Scared of their own fucking shadows, those pussies

  What’s the difference between a cow and 9/11

  You’d stop milking a cow after 23 years

  Seems a bit unnecessary when you could just dress the ivy up like schoolkids and the yanks would wipe it out in a week

  German

  I’m guessing a yank whose great great great great great great grandfather once wiped his cock on a strudel

  They’re using American weapons, they should just aim for schools

  Holy fuck, yanks are weird

  God I’d hate to have such poor reading comprehension. You’d last about a minute in UK based communities lol

  You’re not out of the dark ages, you quivering shitebag lol

  You mean prison slavery? That’s the US, get on it lol

  Did it come out of the States?

  If so, guaranteed utter fucking horseshit

  You can punch your hand through your plasterboard mate lol

  You can always spot an American because they’re so fuckin scared of everything. Look, this one’s scared of his own shite 😂

  Of course!

  Just lose the -

  • Guns

  • Tiny-penis trucks

  • the “right” to hate-speech

  • the religious weirdo thing

  And you’ll be getting close to the 20th century!

  Know how yous get upset when people say “Americans are stupid”

  Literally a third of you have demonstrated that you’d eat gravel if someone said it’d cure immigrants

  A third. So lets just say only half of the other two thirds are stupid

  That’s quite a few. Almost a quarter pounder

  Yous cunts are greedy to the point of being fuckin EVIL

  That’s just… evil, taking money from poor folk and their kids

  How are yous letting evil cunts do this to your fellow citizens? How are you not fucking getting the flaming torches out?

  Selfish fucking cunts, the lot of you. Stand up for not just yourselves, for all of yous

  The bot is only “spreading misinformation” to people who are too stupid to realise that “left” and “right” mean politically different things in different countries

  Mostly the yanks

  I feel really sorry for this guy

  What kind of unhinged parents call their kid Tyreek?

  This is just from the past few weeks lmao. This dude has issues.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Between 2 and n “hexbears” (understood to mean “humans afflicted with hexbear mind virus using other servers”) are behaving in some coordinated way. You were pretty clearly implying that it’s some conspiracy rather than simply other users disagreeing with you.

  Lol what are you on about? People who use hexbear (i.e. hexbears) share similar traits, interests, and behaviors. They use hexbear because they fit in on hexbear, and in order to fit in on hexbear you need to pass a an extensive series of ideological purity tests, which result in the homogeneity and cult-like behavior that occurs.

  Hexbear is quite explicit about this, they don’t want anyone with any sort of divergent political views on their server. They clearly revel in “dunking on libs” by chain downvoting and harassing people when they say things that the hexbear hive mind disagrees with. And yet always claim innocence when their obvious brigading is called out, as you are currently doing.

  It is a real problem for everyone who’s not a hexbear, because it means that we can’t have sane, civil conversations about certain political issues on Lemmy, because CCP apologists and edgelord larping teenage “leftists” constantly butt in and derail the discussion with their potent combination of ignorance and self righteousness.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I never asserted that “anyone downvoting must be a hexbear alt”. There you go again, misrepresenting my point just to feel like you’re winning.

  I’m quite sure that non-hexbears are downvoting OP also. But that wasn’t what you said, was it? You could have said that originally, but instead you decided to mock OP and act like he’s crazy and there’s no way he is getting downvoted by hexbear users, which is disingenous and lame.

  You know what you’re doing, I don’t need to explain your own bad faith tactics to you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lemmy, famous for not allowing alt accounts 😅

  This is why people don’t like hexbear, because they consistently try to gaslight and use disingenous arguments such as this. How are you disputing the fact that OP is getting downvoted by hexbears right now? That’s insane.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That sub is trash also. I think the whole conspiracy theorist subculture has been taken over by the alt right and is highly politicized at this point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Really? Damn that’s crazy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Instance admins, how much does it cost you to run your instance? How much does that represent per active user?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For cost per user, it’s only 3 cents. A few others are around 10 cents per user, and the rest are significantly higher.

  The instances with lower total cost also have much lower activity, lemmy.ml has 2.4k active users but still only 80€ per month. Impressive.

  Rage against him when he does evil things, by all means. But when you start raging against him 24/7 for no particular reason, it serves no purpose. In fact, it lessens your ability to actually call him out when he does bad stuff, because you sound like the boy who cried wolf.

  And more importantly, it also affects the quality of discussion on Lemmy. One major advantage we have over reddit is that people tend to actually read the articles and make insightful comments that add to the discussion. “Hurr Durr Muskrat bad” is the opposite of that, it’s a reddit style pandering comment that ultimately has no substance or meaning. When these circlejerky comments become more common than good comments, the value of this site as a forum for legitimate discussion falls off a cliff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After seeing Wi-Fi network named “STINKY,” Navy found hidden Starlink dish on US warship⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s baffling how people on Lemmy hate Musk so much and yet can’t stop mentioning him in every random, unrelated thread.

  The starlink was privately bought as per the article, it wasn’t officially procured using federal funds. So the comment I responded to doesn’t really make any sense in the context of this post.

  But it gets 50 upvotes because Musk is very bad man. I guess that answers my own question about why people can’t stop mentioning him on Lemmy: it’s free upvotes to shit on him.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After seeing Wi-Fi network named “STINKY,” Navy found hidden Starlink dish on US warship⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What dude are you referring to? I’m confused how your comment relates to the article.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Take a gander at this⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think anybody is expecting women to do administrative work on behalf of men’s rights. It’s more that women tend to react with outright hostility when men advocate for other men.

  It’s actually the feminists who frequently argue that men need to be fighting for women’s issues. I haven’t seen the reverse from male advocates, partially because it’s quite obvious that such a request would be summarily denied. Men generally just want:

  • funding for men’s shelters

  • sympathy & aid for male victims of domestic violence and sexual assault

  • solutions for the growing educational achievement gap

  • a discussion about various legal discrepancies when it comes to conscription, marriage, and parental rights and responsibilities.

  None of this requires women to assist or flex their institutional power. But when men are systematically denied access and funding for various forms of governmental aid, it seems like certain women are flexing some of their institutional power to prevent men from having access to the same kind of social safety net that women enjoy.

  It’s emergency airplane crash logic. Put your own supply of air on before you help the person next to you.

  This is a faulty analogy, because men’s issues are women’s issues and vice versa. It’s impossible for women to actually solve their own problems without also solving men’s problems. How are women ever going to keep their oxygen masks on if they are surrounded by men who are suffocating and trying to rip the mask from their face? In order to help anyone, you need to help everyone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Take a gander at this⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair, the men’s rights movement is absolutely characterized as alt-right by the mainstream media. People tend to assume all sorts of things about you when you bring up any kind of men’s issue. Most people (including other men) have difficulty empathizing with grown men, and thus they subconsciously expect that men’s advocates are motivated by something else, such as misogyny. It’s hard to move past our biological and cultural tendencies and view men as vulnerable and in need of support.

  Don’t hate the player, hate the game.

  I see your point, but I would argue that in a world with nuclear weapons, climate change, and all sorts of shit that seems to be an existential risk, plus the media barrage, people today aren’t exactly feeling safe or comfortable. Hence the desperate hoarding of resources and brutal competition.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welcome to the Golden Age of User Hostility⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed. It just seems more absurd now because of the contrast between our advanced technology and our primitive sociopolitical structures.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welcome to the Golden Age of User Hostility⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Primitive metallurgy was used to create weapons for millennia before it became commonly used for cookware. Technology has always been primarily used as vector for human beings to control and dominate one another, rather than to assist/improve society.

  Nobody said the US doesn’t have a class system? Also the person you’re responding to appears to be a kiwi, not an American.

  Non-Americans making fools out of themselves while trying to casually denigrate the US is one of my favorite internet traditions. It’s especially entertaining because there are plenty of valid criticisms, but people always seem to go for the most lazy, inaccurate generalizations and reveal their ignorance.
