- Comment on Why is the majority of Lemmy So woke? 21 hours ago:
we had a couple instances before this (yeah, you remember EH), not sure if any others popped up and if there is a network of conservative federated instances
- Comment on How many of you guys are conservative? 1 day ago:
“”“yes”“”
- Comment on Why is the majority of Lemmy So woke? 1 day ago:
lemmy was created by actual communists I think (the main devs)
it has seemed to attract those further left than reddit (reddit not left enough for them)
the right is probably on more centralized platforms (is currently the mainstream U.S. politics) or maybe something even more decentralized like nostr
so, the right isn’t here as much, the more moderate left on major social platforms like reddit, the woker got attracted to lemmy and such
- Comment on Trump announces up to 30K illegal immigrants will be sent to Guantanamo Bay 6 days ago:
well so what’s to be made of this?
I think a lot of of people simply want the illegals sent to the country they’re from
however some questions come up like what to do with people the countries refuse, what to do with people who we’re uncertain of where they came from, and what should we do if they just come back?
countries refuse
I thought Trump was basically gonna force 'em to take 'em back, with tariffs or something
uncertain
maybe an agreement with certain countries to take them if it’s a close enough guess where they’re from?
come back
agreements with countries to jail them since it’s their people offending (offloading the cost of detainment / prison to the other countries whose people are committing the crimes, maybe as an incentive for the other countries to deter their citizens from illegally entering other countries)?

- Comment on Trump pardons Silk Road creator Ross Ulbricht 1 week ago:
also didn’t expect to see this, although I do remember him promising it
imo ross seemed to be actually guilty… (according to existing laws)
but I saw a rand paul writing arguing the punishment was disproportionate and that sounds sensible to me

- Comment on Donald Trump Sentenced in Business Records Case 3 weeks ago:
idk what this is but he posted about some other lost case:
“The Radical Democrats have lost another pathetic, unAmerican Witch Hunt. I was given an UNCONDITIONAL DISCHARGE. That result alone proves that, as all Legal Scholars and Experts have said, THERE IS NO CASE, THERE WAS NEVER A CASE, and this whole Scam fully deserves to be DISMISSED.”
As many of the cases fail it does just make the left look biased with political motivations and without a case

- Comment on Python [Snake] Meat Could Be a Sustainable, Nutritious Food Source, Scientists Say 3 weeks ago:
article:
After studying more than 4,600 Burmese and reticulated pythons on commercial farms in Vietnam and Thailand, they found the snakes had a more efficient food conversion ratio than salmon, pigs, cows, chicken and crickets. The snakes went long periods without eating but did not lose much of their body mass as a result; they also required very little water. On top of all that, they ate food that would not have been used otherwise, known as waste meat, such as wild-caught rodents and stillborn pigs.
says more in article like that. and yet:
Scientists also say more research needs to be conducted on the nutritional content of snake meat, as well as the broader environmental implications—and potential ripple effects—of commercial python farms.

one often speculates drug overdose is at play in untimely deaths like these; this person apparently struggled with addiction according to this link: the-independent.com/…/the-vivienne-i-still-get-30…
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
> “terrorists”
2.5k sounds kind of genocidal, and attacking a hospital? Aren’t “terrorists” usually more like military?
I guess the headline just sounds wrong. Other side would probably say this is a “genocidal attack”

a new kind of centrism emerges? horseshoe theory of sorts? an independent populist of sorts (against uniparty)?
(tea party, back in the day) current right: against big government
(occupy, back in the day) / current left: against big corporations
?neu-populist-centrist?: against big government and big corporations

- Comment on Teen Dies After Intense Bond with Character.AI Chatbot 2 months ago:
His mother, The New York Times reports, plans to file a lawsuit against Character.AI, alleging the platform’s “dangerous and untested” technology led to his death
To me this is a compounding problem of this whole situation, I feel like lawsuits like this can be so extremely bad for society as they raise the cost of starting businesses, thereby almost guaranteeing we are subject to large corporations with greater likelihood (a lawsuit like this could probably bankrupt a small business, whereas large corporations can pay them)
but as far as AI contributing to the suicide or not, I’m not sure. Perhaps parents should prudently restrict a lot of access to things like this in general. Perhaps the person would have taken their life regardless of interaction with the AI.
- Comment on Reddit is profitable for the first time ever, with nearly 100 million daily users 2 months ago:
this is pretty sad to me because it’s almost like sending a signal to them that harmful practices like the API conflict last year were “worth it”… seems like short term profit thinking will doom reddit long term at some point, maybe?

- Comment on JD Vance: "They're attacking Pete Hegseth for having a Christian motto tattooed on his arm. This is disgusting anti-Christian bigotry" 2 months ago:
I think the paradox of tolerance seems to be wildly misunderstood by the left
if a person cannot be tolerant of the intolerant, then they’re not a tolerant person; hence this “paradox” as interpreted by leftists, seems to advocate for shades of intolerance then, and against a tolerant society existing
yet, tolerance does not imply agreement, nor pacifism. Someone is still free to argue against someone with a view they disagree with, or if such a person uses violence against the person wrongly, they don’t have to “tolerate” the violence (although they are free to do so if that would be prudent) but are able to defend themselves with lawful self-defense
I suppose the word “tolerance” is probably ambiguous in this “paradox”
Additionally, the predominant American attitude seemed to be that such “intolerance” could be voluntarily argued against and overcome; it is legal to advocate for violent ideologies like Nazism or Communism alike, and usually such people were ignored or problems for example with their economics views were brought up and most people voluntarily agreed that such ideologies were not ideal.
So as I understand it, the “paradox of tolerance” is not really a justification for or argument for a necessity of “not tolerating the intolerant”
