Sponge. But epic.
That’s not true at all. Look at any post about landlords or Zelenskyy or “bourgeoisie”. Count the number of pictures or references to guillotines.
This is like a children’s picture book-level of understanding of the differences between these. This same group of people are responsible for getting you things like healthcare, or the 8 hour work week, or fucking paid vacation. Maybe listen to them and read a little more before posting dumbass takes like this.
Where do they do this? Do you have links? So far what I’ve seen is they comment on posts that go viral on their instances, as they’re allowed to do. I can’t say I’ve had any problems with Hexbear users.
Also note for folks reading: this user is not from midwest.social, they are from lemmy.ml.
This is really rude tbh, I haven’t had any interactions with Hexbear users that would warrant this comparison.
one doesn’t have to go far to find posts of them comment-bombing in groups, trolling en-masse and generally being rude and abusive to other users. there’s a reason many other users are calling for defederation.
The way I heard them explain it is they don’t have downvotes, so they’re used to replying instead. There’s also a higher number of them as they’re one of the largest Lemmy instances:
You asked about us. We came out in force to answer you. Why is that surprising or evidence of anything? We don’t have a downvote feature, so we’re used to responding when we disagree. And of course we’re going to defend ourselves.
In that post yesterday I didn’t see anybody trolling or really being rude, in fact the top comments were very nice in explaining what was going on and why they thought the way they did.
Do you have some examples of this behavior?
I FUCKING LOVE PARTICIPATORY BUDGETING
It’s also a really wonderful way to get pedestrian safety improvements installed. CDOT really does not love prioritizing pedestrians right now. But alders can order specific infrastructure from them using menu funding. Because pedestrian-friendly infrastructure is liked more by people, wards with participatory budgeting usually have higher amounts of pedestrian infra and safe streets. :D
@[email protected] how do you use these? Struggling to figure out how to do this.
Please link a source. I haven’t been able to find anything about this.
I live in Chicago lmao. I take the red line regularly. I go allllllllllllllll around the city and have never once had a problem here. The only reason why you hear about crime or shootings as much as you do in the news is 1) because it’s already been sensationalized, and that sets the pattern, and 2) the entire Chicagoland area (including the suburbs, which get news stories blown up too) has a population of about 11.5 million people. Statistically for even a murder rate as low as Chicago’s is (and it’s not even in the top 20 most violent cities in the country), shit’s just going to happen.
Since she was being sarcastic it means that she is trying to say that Obama wasn’t bad (because that’s how sarcasm works).
I mean… no? Sarcasm works in multiple ways lol. This is like a children’s picture book-level of understanding of sarcasm.
Yeah mine act like I get shot every time I walk out my front door
Obama’s biggest controversy was the mustard
That’s not what she said lol. Sorry as a neurodivergent person I get that this tweet might be hard to read possibly, but she’s being sarcastic here. Maybe in poor taste, but it’s a joke. She’s well-aware of the shit Obama’s done and isn’t a fan of him.
CPD’s annual budget is $1.94 billion. There is absolutely not a ‘lack of police’ in the city.
I didn’t post it because her joke was funny lol
This is why I am bald lol. Just shave every day in the shower and boom problem solved. Also I hate how my hair feels when it’s hot out.
In order to be truly independent from platforms like Reddit, communities need to be owned by their members in ways that platforms cannot take away.
Is this a fucking joke
Enterprise starts at 20k a year before traffic
My Mastodon server has just under 1.5k MAUs and has raised $4k so far this year. We’ve only been open for six months. This is not hard money to raise.
I thought propaganda of the deed was that anarchist thing where they’d do soup kitchens or do cool shit in hopes that the people they help out would become leftists eventually lol
