How is one individual possibly manipulating the community if we're all reading it, agreeing, and upvoting?

Just shelve the paternalism and focus on spam and other areas of rightful moderation.

If the articles are news, they're news. End of.

Let's not pretend like this comm isn't overrun with accounts that (rightfully) post articles that are only critical of conservative policies and politicians. Are you going to ban them for not also posting critical of liberals? Must they criticize leftists?

This will be entirely used in a one sided way to censor criticism of Biden. I think that's obvious.

If Dessalines is receiving money from the Chinese or other fascist government to develop the Lemmy sourcecode, even if only partially funding the project alongside other funding from e.g. the EU, then I can well understand why he would want to see them kept happy - on top of what he may feel personally.

You people are so lost up your own asses, you will never find yourselves. Conspiratorial nonsense driven by your McCarthyism 2.0 with a complete lack of self awareness.

But I guess I shouldn't expect anything more from a NATO funded user and instance, right? The Heritage Foundation and CIA signing the checks over here?

When you say dude, you're referring to...?

They are mostly MLs and they often ride the line on their rules on sectarianism, enough where I've often reported stuff to moderation that only sometimes is addressed.

But there are definitely anarchists. There has been an anarchist comm for a long time

Yep. I kept using Reddit with relay but now I'm going to use it so much less. The official app is garbage and I will never pay a monthly subscription to use Reddit

The customer is making the choice not the business. When you search for primary care physicians in most networks, you can search and filter by gender. Again, is this illegal by your insurance/network to allow this filter?

Is it illegal to choose your primary care physician based on gender? Maybe I'm not reading this entirely correctly, but why would it be illegal to similarly choose your ride driver by gender?

Wouldn't discrimination be more if Lyft refused to hire male drivers or something to that effect according to the civil rights act?

Stop using the word "proletariat" when you clearly do not understand what it means and clearly have not read any of the theory from which the word was popularized

"Proletariat" != "impoverished"

Then I guess they shouldn't be opening living spaces to other people for commercial purposes. Almost like doing that implies you have a responsibility to your guests

It is/was a terrible idea. It inherently devalues the end of the original trilogy and it's incredibly lazy.

Dunno about porn, but there's cultural value in "entertainment".
