They’re making fun of how Brexit was pushed on a platform of getting rid of overstrict EU regulations and bureaucracy (as well as a lot of overt racism) but it turned out a load of it was just homegrown British bureaucracy that had nothing to do with the EU but UKIP voters kept complaining that anything they didn’t like about Britain was the fault of the EU anyway

What’s the point in memes where it’s putting something that’s just uncontroversially true and not really that complex of an idea next to a twink wojack

Edit: just read the comments smh. My bad OP you’re entirely in the right for this, apparently the basic idea that the dominant ideology reproduces itself is too complicated for people to get, also someone calling you a tankie for this lol

go to this web address: https://app.element.io/#/register and then put in either matrix.org or chat.blahaj.zone as your homeserver. the page should look like this once you’ve done that:

once you’ve set up an account try clicking through the link to the chat i sent you again

Have you made a matrix account?

There’s a blahaj matrix chat, lemme just find the link to it

cant wait

just to clarify i want evidence of this specific admin function being misused, i and everyone else already knows that the lemmy.ml mods are trigger happy with their bans, but you’re claiming that they’re misusing the anti-CSAM feature to remove comments from the modlog that they actually removed for criticising china to cover their tracks which i havent seen anyone else accuse them of

can you link me a single example of someone saying that they had their post removed from the mod log

I didnt say that lemmy.ml mods havent been overbearing with their moderation i said “i havent seen anyone even claiming its been used against them or pointing to their post being permanently removed from the modlogs unjustly”.

if you want me to spell it out slowly i can:

• lemmy.ml mods have abused admin powers at some points
• it is possible that the lemmy.ml people could abuse this admin power
• as far as im aware there is no evidence that anyone has misused this specific admin power
• this specific admin power has been used to remove child porn and dox info
• since this admin power has been used for good reasons and hasnt been used for bad reasons it shouldnt be removed as an admin power

well i havent seen anyone even claiming its been used against them or pointing to their post being permanently removed from the modlogs unjustly, only people saying that maybe it could be used in this way, so no i dont think that the ML tankie front are using it that way. and since i know it has been used for its stated purpose to fully remove actual doxx information and child porn i dont see why it should be removed as a feature, at very least until there’s some evidence of it being used maliciously

all instance admins have the ability to do this on their own instance, the functionality was added to deal with doxx info being posted so it wouldnt be visible even in the modlog, and it was used a lot to deal with the CSAM spam attack too - basically whenever this happens the relevant message will still be in the modlog but it will be changed to “Permanently Removed”. Currently there’s no evidence or even accusation that this functionality has been used for anything except the stated purposes though so i wouldnt worry too much.

I used to quite a bit but I don’t anymore, because cigs fuck with hrt

whichever of the two is more like a bear

this looks so cool

im not out to my grandma yet though so she just sort of thinks of me as her weirdly effeminate grandson

im such a fiend for tv slop, like my favourite shows are garfield and friends, the big bang theory, and ancient aliens and also futurama but i dont think that really counts as slop tbh (though tbf i only really like ancient aliens and the big bang theory bcs i like watching them when i go over to visit my grandma (a lot of the time she doesnt really have the social energy to interact for too long but she likes having me around the house so i’ll go over and we’ll talk a bit and then she’ll get tired so i’ll just potter around with the tv on for a bit and then ill make her dinner or something))

fr, one of my favourite wads of all time, i used to stream myself playing it to them and then they’d stream themselves playing myhouse.wad bcs they werent good enough at the game to deal with ancient aliens, imo the first episode will always be my favourite though because the whole collision of the mayan / sci fi aliens / standard doom aesthetics is just so cool (also bcs ive played the first episode through on its own so many times when ive just got a little bit of time to kill)

i spent like ten minutes trying to read this to the tune of californication and failed smh

yeah the guy’s some weird tradcath mf who got big from making a load of videos defending the crusades, while ignoring the brutal violence that the catholics carried out against the muslims (and justified it by saying that the Ummayad Sultanate invaded Iberia (what we’d call Spain nowadays) at the start of the 8th century so killing an entirely different group of Muslims (the Seljuk Turks) on the opposite side of the mediterranean at the end of the 11th century was entirely justified)

You’re the one unironically saying this about Palestinians being murdered by psychotic IDF fascists because they might be transphobic, not me
