    Can we please stop censoring words? It’s just amazing how much damage has been done by platforms to people in this respect.

            I am fairly confident, that there is more content on lemmy right now, than a person can sift through.

            If there is more than about a dozen comments under a post, i rarely read all of them.

              yeah i think it’s more about the quality than the quantity

              like, there can be a thousand comments but all of them pointless, which is what happens when your social media platform only tries to grow in user numbers. we should strive for quality over quantity, i think.

                Nah, just the “active” algorithm is shit in Lemmy. Try other sorts. I promise the feed will change. Not as much as I’d like, but it does change.

                  …I do. But the majority of the communities I subscribe to (and I have found multiple iterations across different instances) are not very active. Their reddit counterparts are.

                  You can stop trying to reject my experiences with your nonsense to make yourself look right. You’re not.

      It’s why my iPhone sucks, censoring the most basic swears and auto correcting my cursing. What’s worse is you can even use words like “die “ anymore.

        That and overdone plastic surgery. There was a great before and after set of four yesterday. Who knew Kimberly Gilfoyle was actually attractive at one time. Now she looks like a monster.

      I almost burst out laughing reading her tweet. Literally her only noteworthy accomplishment in her career is getting in the news for suddenly, mysteriously becoming inseparable from Trump, then getting kicked out when it became too public. If you actually sleep with Trump, I think you permanently lose any rights to slut shame others.

    For somebody who has undergone michael jackson levels of plastic surgery she seems to really be judging people about what they do with their bodies.

    The correct reason to hate MTG is because she would vote to kill every one of her constituents if it made Mark Zuckerberg another penny.

    I’m not too familiar with american c-type celebrity politicians, but can we please stop giving this soap opera shit any more platform as it may as well be purposely disguising all the real and important issues in the USA?

      Sadly, this kind of trash is far more important to the average person than the things that matter (and this is hardly just an American phenomenon). It’s mainly because the things that actually matter are much more complicated, and require effort to understand - whereas this kind of crap lends itself to quickly picking sides, and boosting one’s ego momentarily by providing someone else to look down upon that your entire social circle is likely to agree with. The unfortunate reality is the majority of people just don’t have it within them to deal with what really matters & prefer the distraction of mundane cat-fights to avoid having to face that fact.

    Making fun of someone’s looks is unfair and childish, because they cannot help how they were born. But this bitch did it to herself on purpose and paid good money for the privilege, sooooooo…

    Where’s your tricycle, you fucking lumpen balloon animal of a Saw villain?

      Thats my only hope. Much like how the top nazis under Hitler would have (and in the few days also did) imploded in infighting after Hitlers death. Will the MAGA movement fail when the driving force dies? Will we see a mad scramble for power where whoever comes out in top doesn’t have whatever crazy Trump has?

        They very clearly tried to test run a new trump-lite candidate who they could control in 2020 with DeSantis, but he flopped so hard it was hilarious. They’ve also started trying to talk up some of Trump’s kids and test the waters there, but they’re inconveniently too old and too young or too female for the voter base’s liking

        The Republican party is absolutely fucked when Trump passes because they can’t manufacture a replacement for his cult of personality in time. This is part of why they’re trying to perform more election fuckery right now (and partly because they keep passing incredibly unpopular policies and executive actions which they can’t blame on the other party at all right now)

          I don’t think Cokey or Dumbo have a problem with being too old or young, but they’re somehow amazingly even dumber than daddy shitpants and have the charisma of a hammer and a soggy noodle respectively.

    Oh a post about someone shaming a woman, surely Lemmy will realise that while they may not agree politically with the women in question the inherent misogyny in publicly shaming a women for performing sexual acts is wrong and shouldn’t be tolerated. Surely no one in the comments would be further perpetuating such things

    I expect too much. There are so many things to criticise this person for but let’s be just as hypocritical as the traditional values crowd who enjoys the benefits of sexual liberation by condemning the sexual liberty of someone while supposedly being progressive in values.

      See the problem is that this is MTG. Nobody wants to give her any sympathy. Plus cheating kinda sucks and I doubt she has an open marriage given that she’s part of the “women are property of men” party.

        The problem is she’s being attacked for her sexuality not for anything meaningful.

          She’s one of the more recognizable faces of the so-called traditional family values party and yet she’s cheating on her husband. She’s being attacked for hypocrisy.

      I don’t even watch South Park and I almost convinced myself this was a faked tweet using a South Park script and simply slapped these two on top.
