    What you do is you vote for the lesser evil for president now, and then you vote for people who are actually good in local races in hopes of building a base of support for better presidential choices (and replacing first-past-the-post) later. At least, that’s what you do if you’re actually operating in good faith and aren’t a pro-fascist troll.

    Now quit whining about it, 'cause that doesn’t actually do any fucking good.












  • than there is for demonstrably antagonistic behavior. Lemmy is veering too strongly toward curating a list of acceptable opinions and too far away from enforcing civility standards, if you ask me. That’s a surefire way to create an ironclad left-leaning echo chamber.

    I would argue exactly the opposite.

    First of all, fuck “civility” rules, which in my experience (back on Reddit) tend to result in polite bad faith comments (sealioning etc.) being tolerated while comments calling out bad faith for the toxic behavior it is get removed.

    Second, facts are not opinions, and it’s hardly Lemmy’s fault if Colbert was correct about reality’s bias.
