The fact that you think 50 is old is hilarious to me. lol
Lots of people in their 60's and 70's are super laid back. You should look up hippies and tell me what generation that is! In my area the older ones are the ones smoking pot and telling everyone to chill. I don't notice that with the super old people, but 60's and 70's around me are super chill. I'm all for politicians having to be under 60 though! lol
My 67yr old mother is a chill stoner.
But still a homophobe whenever I'm not actively in her eyesight/earshot. 🥹
I mostly feel that GenX/Elder Millennials and younger are more accepting/didn't stew in as much socially accepted disdain. 🥹
Most x'rs that I know aren't even political. What are you even talking about? What is SUP and what is UM and what is FUD? What do those abbreviations even mean?
I don't see anyone spreading fear uncertainty and doubt. From either user you are talking about. That was totally unworthy of a user report to, by the way. The fuck do you care if some user as an alt name? That's allowed on Lemmy. Lots of people have alt names. And neither user is banned from this community anyway. So what the fuck are you going on about?!
As for saying things will get better after people over 50 die, is a pretty lazy way to look at politics. People over 50 aren’t one giant voting bloc, and younger people aren’t automatically wiser or more moral. A lot of people over 50 fought for civil rights, women’s rights, labor rights, gay rights, environmental protections, and anti-war causes. Plenty still do. The real problem is bad leadership, money in politics, weak civic knowledge, and people of every age not paying attention.
There are more voting-age Americans under 50 than over 50, so if younger people want change, they already have the numbers to matter.
None of those names are banned in this community tho, so how would that count as trying to evade bans? And from what I am seeing, Universal Monk is still active and I see that he posted just today on lemmy.dbzer0.com/u/UniversalMonk and regularly posts. So what are you talking about him being banned?!
Your account is two days old. Two fucking days and you are reporting about people, talking about alt names. And every single post you have posted is about Universal Monk. That seems like a lot going on for someone who has had their account for two days.
Seems like you're the one with alt accounts, made to stir up trouble. I engaged with you in good faith, but now I'm thinking you're a troll. Nothing you are talking about has anything to do with this community or this instance.
When I decided to change instances I didn't change my name. I just decided to get off .world
cowfodder@lemmy.world is still an active account, isn't instance banned or heavily moderated anywhere, and hasn't been used since I decided to switch over to .zip. Unlike some people I don't need to use sock puppets to defend myself.
I don't need sock puppets to defend myself either. You are obsessed about one person, came into a community and talked about that person even tho he hasn't posted here, and isn't even banned from posting here and isn't banned from this instance. And the dude is still active and posting so he hasn't been banned from his instance either.
So it can't be counted as ban evading and why would you report it for that?
Plus it has nothing to do with the news story. So tell me how that's not you trolling and abusing the report button?
Oh, ok, so now you think I'm that guy too. Even though I'm a woman. Ok, ok, so everyone is a dude you don't like, is that what you are saying? And you have decided to be a Lemmy police officer and bring up people what you don't like, in threads that have nothing to do with the person you don't like, to just warn us. Is that it? Warn us against what exactly?
None of the people you are talking about are banned from this community or from this instance. So how is any of that ban evading?
I don't care if the guy has 1,500 alts. If none of them are banned, it's not ban evading. You are so off topic now that I'm more convinced than ever that this is just a troll game with you. Let it go.
Well I did turn 40 recently.
And have chronic pain issues that make me feel 80. 😭
I'm 51 and I feel great. Just got back from a 10 mile hike in my local mountain range. Beautiful day for it!
But back to you: So I want you to think about how quick the last 10 years have been. Now in that same amount of time, you are gonna be 50. And 50 ain't old, but those are the guys you called out in your original comment.
Lot's of 20 year olds think 40 is old and that 40+ people are ruining the world. You are in that group. lol
