But the DNC is already entirely ineffective. We are already losing every single time we vote for either major party. Even when the Dems are in office, they appear incapable or unwilling to accomplish meaningful progressive political objectives, so we are slipping further into fascism anyway, no?

This has been the status quo for generations already, how long does it have to continue before we cut our losses and make a risky gambit? I just don’t understand what you think the DNC is protecting us from, because in my view they are also part of the problem.

Teddy Roosevelt got 27% in 1912 with the Bull Moose party. Not sure if that counts as modern history.

It’s true that a third party candidate would be a major long shot but fuck it, what do we have to lose?

Gooner pro tip, nice

This is Lemmy bruh. We still be burning discs on the reg.

Seriously though, I still like to listen to CDs in my car. Something about making that perfect 20 song banger mixtape just hits different. And then slotting old CDs and having no idea what songs are on there but usually being pleasantly surprised. Spotify/Bluetooth is too easy and casual, I tend to pay more attention and enjoy the music more when listening to CDs.

I don’t think OP is totally against reaction memes or GIFs.

But I think in this particular screenshot the quality of the memes is very low and the quantity is too high. Like they’re all just very common reaction memes of peoples faces, and they’re really not clever or funny at all in the context of the thread. So it’s just a bunch of jackwagons all trying to make the same lame, tired joke and upvoting each other.

Reaction GIFs can be good content but they have to be clever and fit the situation. Reddit threads are extremely watered down at this stage and there just aren’t enough unique, interesting comments to make it worth wading through all the slop.

I don’t think entitlement has anything to do with this though. Anyone who used the internet and Reddit for a long time (and/or uses Lemmy now) knows that the current version of Reddit is flooded with low-effort basic content compared to how it used to be. Just commenting doesn’t do anything, because the onslaught of low-effort drivel and badly executed memes totally drowns out everyone else from having any kind of substantive discussion.

Smh I’ve heard about a ton of stupid reddit bans but this one takes the cake. I guess if you keep reporting it they’d have to actually do something about it so they prefer to ban you and pretend it doesn’t exist.

Who’s a good boy? Now go fetch that remote content and you’ll get a treat!

Ok that makes sense, I just figured you didn’t know how or forgot to do it. But I can understand if you want to reduced lemmy.ml influence, carry on

Why not use the cross-post function? Original post is at [email protected] btw

Nah. Reddit just sucks and Lemmy is awesome

What movie is that?

That’s a bong. Note the curvature on the neck

Yea he kept making new accounts and I kept banning them, so then he did that. Well, good luck with the rare deliriants my friend. Pour one out for me.

God damn you really do be litty right now.

I didn’t take it as rude or insulting at all, you’re just overthinking and paranoid bc you’re high af.

Plus I’ve already taken an immense amount of abuse on Lemmy because I’m an admin, people always end up popping off on me no matter what I do. I see you’ve been here a long time so you may remember a few months after the APIcalypse when trolls were spamming the most disgusting stuff and I had to keep banning them as quickly as I could. This guy took it personally 😂

Yes this is the most efficient and foolproof method for dealing with bully mods, can confirm.

I feel like you’re probably joking but that’s a possum, not a doggo.

I was gonna make a joke about not trying to pet one of those or you might get rabies, but it actually seems that they have natural resistance to rabies and are generally pretty chill animals. TIL.

Fresh idiots are being born every day, unfortunately

I think it’s just lemmy.world, and they actually aren’t defederated from dbzer0, they just blocked the piracy community specifically. I think dbzer0 is pretty much fully federated with all the major servers except for lemmygrad. With .world blocking the piracy community, it only affects their users, dbzer0 users can still participate in any lemmy.world content.
