- Comment on What is the difference between lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works? 2 days ago:
No one is obligated to do anything. The admins run the site and they can moderate how they feel. As a user, I can join their site or another one if I choose to.
My opinion of defederating is that it should only be used as a last resort. Taking a liberal approach to defederation means that a small amount of bad faith actors can completely shut down an instance and make it a pariah on the fediverse.
- Comment on What is the difference between lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works? 2 days ago:
It doesn’t, except for the ones who like to browse local. And the .world admins have quite a few blocked instances. They seem to be a bit too liberal in defederating to my tastes. I feel as if it runs against the concept of federation itself.
- Comment on What is the difference between lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works? 2 days ago:
.world is the instance where most new users default to so and it has the highest user base that includes a lot of trolls or just bad faith actors. Also, a lot of .world is based from reddit users who left and they brought that kind of mindset along. Some people don’t like that either.
- Comment on do you combine stair climbing with running when working out? 4 days ago:
I use the stair machine regularly after a workout. Not all the time, but often. It’s very exhausting. I have a fitness watch and my heart rate is in the 170s for the majority of it.
I find it really helped my leg muscles develop better. Especially my thighs and the muscles connecting to the knee.

Whoever you want to be part of your family.

They are shunned by a lot of people. Where do you think all the online hate comes from? Americans have just been so radicalized that a good chunk of them don’t care anymore. It’s not a majority, but enough to make a difference in politics. As seen by the elections that just took place.

A Palestinian state would be “a Hamas state”, Saar added
Too bad the PLO doesn’t exist. Oh wait…
- Comment on NATO military chief says troops would be on ground if not for Russian nukes 1 week ago:
Oh so nuclear weapons are a good way to prevent an invasion?
- Comment on Paris to deploy 4,000 police officers to France-Israel UEFA match 1 week ago:
Wonder how they’ll treat the Israelis if they act the way they did in Amsterdam.

Lol, you got me for a minute.
- Comment on What do you like/dislike about lemmy? 3 weeks ago:
The assholes who pretend to argue in good faith but just spout stupid bullshit.
Oh, and the idiots who block everyone they don’t like.
- Comment on have you ever had to confront a female mob at the workplace? 3 weeks ago:
Why do I feel like you didn’t just say “fuck”?
- Comment on Why is the price of real estate rising so dramatically? 3 weeks ago:
Correct, thank you person with the best and more relevant username :).
- Comment on Why is the price of real estate rising so dramatically? 3 weeks ago:
It varies by region and country but the big underlying factor is not enough new homes are being built. It’s creating an artificial scarcity which is driving up prices. Some other factors come into play depending on where you live. For example, I’ve read in America that a lot of the homes are being bought by trust funds and big corporations that can just overbid everyone. Now there are even less viable homes to sell. Here in Canada, we have a big problem where our federal government brought in a large amount of immigrants for it’s Temporary Foreign Worker program and it’s foreign student programs which created a big spike in population, especially in the major cities. The local governments are responsible for house building and didn’t do anything about accommodating a bigger population despite them knowing it was coming.
- Comment on Is there any reason to use the "new" sorting option on Lemmy, except to filter spam? 3 weeks ago:
I sort by new for my subscribed mainly. Sometimes I sort by active just out of curiosity.
- Comment on Has Dr. Strange ever given a diagnosis mid fight? 3 weeks ago:
Kind of a strange thing to do, don’t you think?

Have I ever told you the definition of perfection?
- Comment on What do I look out for regarding mold inside of an older house (1972)? 4 weeks ago:
If it’s widespread, there will likely be some kind of strong smell that is not pleasant.
Are there signs of water damage anywhere in the house? Paint on the wall or ceiling that looks like it got wet at one point? That might be a good place to look for if it did happen.
Do you happen to know any professional contractors personally? Painters or handymen maybe? They’ve likely seen it before and have learned to spot the telltale signs.

The cat actually looks pretty impressive tbh, especially the tail.

Pretty sure that’s what forestation is all about.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Sure buddy. Fuck off back to Reddit or whatever shithole you came from.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
When you make a post so bad in the Canada community and it gets taken down so you copy-paste it into the shitposting community to see if you get any attention.
For anyone that doesn’t know what I’m talking about. Go look at OPs mod history.
- Comment on Can someone give me an overview on the Jill Stein situation? 4 weeks ago:
That’s pretty nuch it. Every election cycle has 3rd party candidates. This time it’s gotten more attention in the media because there’s a good chunk of people, mainly Arabs, who are refusing to vote Democrat as “fuck you” to Harris and her support of Israel.
- Comment on A little essay I wrote about "mods are power tripping" 4 weeks ago:
Oh, now I see. Thank you for clarifying.
- Comment on A little essay I wrote about "mods are power tripping" 4 weeks ago:
I think the federated social media that is coming now is a great thing. It’s fantastic. It’s back to the old architecture, partially. But, I think it has unintentionally imitated some of the design patterns that exist on the current “they” internet. Among them:
You don’t control your experience. That is designed and curated for you by “they.” You can configure it, but you have to turn in a formal request if you want to make changes outside the parameters, and since you’re requesting someone spend significant effort on you who doesn’t know you from a can of paint, the answer is probably no.
Could you clarify what you mean by this? I assume when you say “they” on the Internet you talk about the Internet’s commercialization and commodification by companies. In what way is the Fediverse curated for you by “they”? Is it the news and other external links people post?

- Comment on Sympathy for their PTSD 4 weeks ago:
Yeah I remember reading about her. She was an incredibly brave woman. The most horrifying part was reading about the IDF soldiers who had a pancake party to mock her death.
- Comment on Why did it take so damn long for humanity to "learn" how to draw/paint realistic images? 4 weeks ago:
Culture mainly. Same reason why some artists today draw photorealistic drawings and others draw more cartoony. You don’t need to draw or sculpt something to be hyper-realistic to explore the abstract nature of art.
- Comment on Sympathy for their PTSD 4 weeks ago:
The last sentence is fucked up. If you’re running over hundreds of people how in the fuck do you know they are terrorists. These people are intentionally and knowingly committing war crimes then come back home and cry about how this all made them so sad.
- Comment on War on Gaza: Israeli attack on Beit Lahiya kills at least 73 Palestinians 4 weeks ago:
OP is a known troll who’s been banned from several communities for trying to justify Israel’s actions. They don’t give a shit about these people. It’s probably why it got downvoted.
