I'm working on it. Maybe. Well, one day. Like when other Left of centre, anti trump, anti corpo type folks oppose the things I oppose in correct manner and degree, duh.

One of the most interesting things I noticed about the fediverse is that while I disagree very heartily on politics with a number of people I rarely disagree with them on everything, even most things really. There's few enough users that you're going to see people you have tagged, after they've said crazy or insane shit, who then go on to make points you agree with 100%. It's very odd. I guess it's why the fediverse feels more genuine to me.

Maybe the other place was just more absolute bots trying to push specific agendas. Cause it seemed way different there.

I have had a very similar observation based on a feature of Voyager that shows you the total upvotes you have given a user, net of downvotes, next to their name.

In addition to what you observe, I’ve also saved myself from being too dismissive or reading a comment more carefully based on that number at least being an indication that I’ve had good interactions with this person in the past.

Ooooh that's a neat metric to help! I've been using an ever expanding system of notes but it's much more labour intensive than that!

[–] ButteryMonkey@piefed.social 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If you have multiple accounts, which most of us probably do for stability reasons, it also aggregates everything across them so vote counts and user tags still show up on brand new accounts.

It’s very very nice.

God that's such a cool feature. Jerboa was by far the best app when I joined lemmy but it's really been surpassed.

But some just go to such an extreme I find it difficult to not have the insults that were hurled at me in the back of my head, even on takes where I do agree with them. Like, yeah, I agree with you, but you did call me an imperial pig and a fascist so fuck you anyway.

NEW USER: "I came to Lemmy because Reddit permabanned me for saying puppies and kittens are cute."

Then I find myself looking at their comment/post history because that doesn't really sound like a normal thing anybody would get banned for. And after seeing what they post/comment here, I think to myself "I disagree with permabanning people, but I think I understand why it might've been done."

[–] MyBrainHurts@piefed.ca 13 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Ahahaha, yeah I'm instantly a little suspicious when someone says they got permabanned for "nothing, absolutely nothing!"

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 month ago (16 children)

Just admit you got permabanned for saying we should normalize punching nazis, it's nothing to be ashamed of. It's why we're all here.

I was once permabanned on a couple of subreddits I had never visited before because I had commented on a thread in a sub they apparently didn't like. It was called Kotaku and I had never heard of it before. Just saw a movie thread and commented because I love movies. The thing I hated the most about reddit was the expectation that everybody were as terminally online as the mods were. Not my fault a sub pops up in my feed and I decide to comment on the topic.

Was likewise permabanned from the true childfree subreddit for making a post where I wanted to talk to people about the thoughts and doubts that comes with being childfree. I was going through some things at the time and just wanted to talk to likeminded people. Permabanned for "trolling".

And finally was permabanned for racism on a sub where the topic was the little mermaid remake and I mentioned that I thought Halle Bailey deserved better than to work for Disney. Had followed her and her sister's youtube channel on/off since 2014 and really liked their voices and I didn't want a young artist to be chewed up and spit out by one of the worst entertainment companies ever. I still love her and Chloe's cover of Say Something and think it is better than the original.

So yeah, sometimes you get permabanned for literally no reason or a made up reason. I had no sad feelings when I left reddit. I absolutely hated the mods on most subs. None of them seemed to have lived in the real world for years.

I got permabanned from instances because I hurt a snowflake admins feelings by arguing against them.

shit made my day because I was still able to call them idiots, just not on their instance.

Look if you losers just accept that I am actually right about everything and no one has any grounds to challenge my beliefs things will be much better for all of us /s

[–] Nangijala@feddit.dk 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I agree as long as you agree with me.

not just disagree, disagree SLIGHTLY YOU DIRTY FUCKERS WHY ARE YOU NOT MY POLITICAL MIRROR

[–] Whitebrow@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Most of my friends don’t share the exact beliefs I do in regards to pretty much anything, doesn’t mean we can’t get together and yell at each other about it over a few beers around the campfire.

A friend of mine designed this for me to reflect my taste in politics. I've had them made into stickers 💚

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 2 points 1 month ago (8 children)

I hate Trump but think democrats are the only party that are in a position to save us from him.

Thoughts?

[–] defrostedLasagna4921@piefed.zip 7 points 1 month ago

I disagree with political parties entirely. We must unite and fight, but I guess we gotta start somewhere, and that may be with the Democrats.

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I don't think democrats are even all that interested in preventing fascism. Establishment liberals don't have a good track record of beating fascism and I don't think we should keep making the mistake of expecting them to do so.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They’re more interested than Jill Stein and get more votes the Rachelle Fruit so I’d say they can be worked with.

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I guess I am just not expecting to defeat fascism through electoral politics. It didn't really work before and I don't see any reason for it to work now.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It didn’t work because we voted the dictator in.

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (8 children)

Sure but fascism is just one dude. Them not getting elected doesn't end fascism. We already have fascist in our government. They're in our police force, military, local administrations, legislature, and judicial system. Many of them own significant portions of our national economy, some of them even have international capital. Fascists are willing to cheat, lie, and kill for power. You can't stop that with a single election or even a series of them. If you think that you can then you have vastly underestimated our enemy.

The nazis lost elections before they won them. They didn't go away after losing, they got stronger.

Fascists need to be identified and purged fron official positions, the financial assets of bourgeois fascists should be seized, and most importantly the material conditions (poverty mostly) that made fascism appealing to millions of people need to be resolved. I don't think democrats are willing to do this.

I agree, but only because the media is so tightly controlled by the ruling class.

If a new media platform broke out that they did not have control over, and a reasonable left third party took control of that platform, and many people ran to it, basically if, you know, you could win the lottery twice while being struck by lightning and getting hit by a falling meteorite, then a third party could actually emerge and win.

But with them owning Twitter and Facebook and Reddit and Instagram and WhatsApp and every single news station on the planet, there's just no way to communicate what the world could be like to the people who would vote for the better world.

I mean yes, you're welcome to visit my home unless you're a hateful piece of shit.

You're welcome to visit the bar unless you come in acting like a belligerent asshole.

You're implying some contradiction as if this isn't how this has always worked.

A welcoming person does not welcome Nazis into a space where people are welcome.
