This guy specifically? He’s a racist asshole, who has been surrounded by other racist assholes and gotten support from them, so he has never learned that his behavior is unacceptable in a society that values freedom.

A “grodge” sounds like some sort of distant cousin of the grue. Maybe they’re some sort of gremlins, and these people are gremlin breeders who are selling them?

I send you an actual news article, and all you can do is reply with a strawman cartoon, claiming it’s democrats?

You want to cite actual democratic politicians calling for more war or do you just want to live in your fantasy world?

The Hamas have outright stated their goal is the genocide of the Jewish people.

With your metaphor, are you comparing the Hamas to the Nazis and Israel to the Jewish partisans - or - are you comparing the Hamas to the Jewish partisans and the Israel to the Nazis?

I think the original comment about both Hamas and Israel needing to be held accountable is correct. This isn’t a conflict between good and evil, this is a conflict between evil and evil.

Yeah, the left is the problem here, cause republicans are totally anti genocide

“Kill ’Em All,” Republican Congressman Says of Palestinians in Gaza

lol @ the exact percent

But no, I don’t think shitposts by themselves are actually the problem. I think the problem is when when there’s so many people dedicated to making shitposts that serious communities with serious discussions start getting overwhelmed with shitposts, and when there’s so many people who are only interested in shitposts that they upvote those shitposts to the top, often downvoting anyone who might offer a contrarian non-funny opinion.

or IDK, I’m mostly speculating based on personal experience.

I think the fewer number of people, compared to reddit, on Lemmy combined with the fact that it’s not nearly as well known, plays a huge advantage to the quality of the comments. Not that there aren’t people like that here either, but I feel like the more popular a platform, is, the more it gets filled, proportionally, with people trying to make witty, shitty, pointless remarks that are often clickkbaity and avoid actual discussion, all in the interest of just getting more imaginary points.

Also the process of “enshitification” (not a term I made up, look it up if you hadn’t heard of it) has already started taking place on reddit due to its popularity.
