You literally can't change the name of a community.

People used to say this about subreddits too.

It's a silly thing to say. Communities and subreddits aren't files you can rename on a whim.

Then perhaps we should just make a community for screenshots of political twitter posts and keep the meme communities for memes.

Or perhaps saying you'll keep soapboxing until the impossible happens is silly.

I waste my time on pettier things than that.

Soapboxing until the impossible happens is literally what you said you were going to waste your time on:

I will continue calling out the political soapboxing here for as long as I either get banned or they change the name of the community.

You apparently have a poor memory.

I wasn't arguing against you. I said I waste my time on pettier things than that so fighting against the windmill on an issue like this is nothing out of the ordinary for me.

Weird, because this is what your bio says:

My goal is to engage in dialogue that seeks truth rather than scoring points.

This doesn't sound like seeking truth to me, much more like scoring points.

[–] Free_Opinions@feddit.uk 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

If this is me scoring points I'm doing quite lousy job at it don't you think?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Not as lousy a job as you're doing seeking the truth right now. Unless you'd like to explain what truth it is you're seeking through this discussion.

I was never talking about whether or not this was a meme, so I guess the "my goal is to engage in dialogue that seeks truth rather than scoring points" part of your bio was a lie. Which is weird, because you also say, "I say unpopular things but never something I know to be untrue" in that same bio.

But since you've shown very clearly that you are not engaging in dialogue that seeks truth, I guess we can regard the entire bio as a lie.

Glad we got that sorted out then.
