Just blocked lemmy.ml from my Lemmy account, and I swear to god it's one of the best things I've ever done on this platform. My homepage feels actually clean now.

For the past few months I'd been seeing a lot of tankie posting and pretty much far-left propaganda on my feed. It got tiring enough that I finally checked my blocked-user list, and realized pretty much everyone I'd blocked was from lemmy.ml. So I just blocked the whole instance instead.

Saying this as someone who considers themselves a leftist: I used to think Lemmy itself was an echo chamber. Turns out lemmy.ml was the problem the entire time. Probably the reason I tolerated it for so long is that I agreed with a lot of what they posted, but like an oversaturated meme, I'd had enough. Browsing the platform was starting to feel way too tiring instead of fun, which defeats the point of being here in the first place.

The breaking point was seeing some dude post a "meme" implying North Korea and China are basically communist utopias and that the West sucks. I mean, the West does suck, but come on - you're saying North Korea is the ideal the West should strive for? What the hell...

the reason inflation/affordability was even an issue that Trump could reference stems from their genocidal and feckless 'foreign policy'. Energy prices would not have been nearly as high if they had found a way to de-escalate with russia and reigned in israel. instead we're on the path to world war 3 and you're insisting we keep voting for those fucking losers

Two comments ago in case you forgot.

Except for the part where you want to partner with a genocidal country to save a couple bucks fueling your pickup.

oh, a return to form. let me spell it out for you

i don't drive a pickup

i oppose all wars that aren't the class war

the democrats spent all their political-economic capital by participating in a genocide and a proxy/sanctions war against a rival world power and major energy producer

the result of that proxy war was rising energy costs and an increasingly destabilized energy market due to infrastructure and supply disruptions.

those disruptions compounded with attacks on red sea traffic due to the genocide. rather than address the problem, they doubled down, tried to use force, and failed. some 'prosperity guardian'

then the democrats went on to lose the election on affordability and genocide.

maybe they should have tried negotiating and/or not been such genocidal assholes

Okay so you want to partner with a genocidal country to save a couple dollars when you fuel your SUV.

dawg i take the bus.

also you have it backwards it's the democrats who are locked in supporting israel, i want them to stop that.

The Palestine genocide got worse after the GOP got power and Russia is going to town on Ukraine so I'd say the genocides are worse now.

yeah it's unfortunate that the biden regime bungled things so badly. imagine if the dnc hadn't fixed the primary for him, maybe things wouldn't be as fucked as they are now.

Oh yeah I definitely didn't vote Biden 2024.

But if Harris got in life would be a whole lot better!

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

harris was the biden regime hand-picked successor, that's why they had the coronation for her instead of a primary.

she was in no way separated from those failures, couldn't even pretend to reign in israel and she ate shit because of it

why do you insist on voting for career losers anyways? is it because you want republicans to win?

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

You don't think a Harris presidency would be better than the Trump one we're currently living through?

You do know that at the point when Harris won her democratic primary that the only choices for president was her or Trump right?

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml 1 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

i'm sure she would have been better, it's too bad that she and the democrats were willing to give everything up in the name of supporting israel and its genocide.

also she didn't win anything, they coronated her that time. first primary she was in she sucked ass

i can tell you are not a big fan of democracy

Being realistic about the system we’ve created for ourselves is being ‘not a big fan of democracy?’

I’m a huge fan of reality.
