I don't interact with the various other Lemmy instances very often. I see almost no point in it, it's just reddit. All they post is endless articles from the Atlantic or Wall Street journal. Elon musk this, orange man that, all useless, pointless posting.

Recently, their favorite flavor of slop has been the "Tiananmen square massacre". This has brought out the worst in them. We live rent free in their heads, but especially whenever a socialist government is mentioned. They all come crawling out of their basements, pushing Funko pops and copies of Hogwarts legacy out of the way of their crusty, rainbow light keyboards to claim their knowledge of a Chinese protest is infallible.

My god do they not let up either. Any rebuttal is shut down by these drones. Any mention of "what about the Americans many war crimes?" Activates their inner CIA sleeper agent, and they hit you with "commies are just whataboutism. That's all they have. Well at least we have freedom. At least we aren't committing genocide." All extremely easy to debunk claims.

Don't get me started on isr*el. They sure do love their ethnic cleansing. More so than even the loudest of American Republicans I've ever heard. To them, Gaza is all "terrorists". They should all be killed in their eyes, their only hope of redemption is "non violent protest", aka, just lay down and die. Never in my life have I seen a larger group of far right genocidal freaks than I have on Lemmy world.

It's so ridiculous, it's comical. Say something like "hey this is misinformation" and a thousand replies will hit your inbox, all from dudes that post things like "Hamas needs to be destroyed", "people who don't vote shouldn't complain about anything" and my personal favorite one "Uh actually, I support the maori MPs getting suspended for doing the haka. That stupid dance is disruptive" (Yeah, real comments, not hyperbole)

The Nazis are in our backyard. And they should be bullied back to reddit where they belong.

They loved to ban people for being critical of Biden or posting things negative of biden. To the point they'd just start making up rules to justify the bans when questioned.

Now one of their top mods just removes people for questioning him on Kamala

simping for any party at all is just really stupid. Especially when you look at it in a more than 2 party system.

Both are below the base line of „You should not overthrow the government”. Trump is worse than the democrats from the perspective of pure destruction / day, but both are still below the standard, so it dosent really matter anyway.

What's really disheartening is seeing the ones I have tagged as diehard dnc believes or biden stans who still won't admit anything was done wrong. Or that Biden could have ever made a mistake

Can you name any examples? I use the web UI so I wouldn't know

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 day ago

Haven't looked for a web ui way yet, mostly because so dependant on what front ends the instance has. But on android voyage will let you tag
