Good lord, I can't believe Lemmy World's federation queue is backed up for so many other instances because of stupid shit like this.

OP, the wording of the post is very confusing. Would you mind perhaps editing the post to clarify your opinion?

Thanks!

I think the distributed nature of the Fediverse is a big part of it. Lot of moderation policies at play, on a lot of different instances and some allow some real jerks to flourish and spill out elsewhere. I have zero tolerance for any of that garbage and am very quick with my block/ban buttons, but those are only effective on my own instance or the few communities I moderate outside that.

OP, best I can suggest is to report them. Most of the communities I interact with are pretty responsive to those kinds of reports and similarly don't tolerate it. Mods, unfortunately, can't read every comment and often rely on reports to know when to look deeper/take action.

And don't feel bad about blocking the jerks. There's a lot of them, lol.

As a GIF, that scene looks like it's cut from a horror movie lol.

Lol, yeah. I was referencing the plot (Elaine accidentally grabs her breast in the sauna and tells Jerry she think's they're fake).

Also, I tried to merge that exact GIF into the static image but failed miserably 😆.

For the record, I agree with everything you're saying.

As a mod, I have to say "Rule 1: No Politics".

That said, I'm going to allow this as long as it remains civil and discussion is done in good faith without "Godwin's Law" coming into play. I'll be actively moderating this thread, so please keep discussions as generic as possible, and no blaming/figer-pointing/name-calling/etc. I'll probably also be locking it once I'm unable to keep an eye on it (no offense and nothing personal, OP).

That that said, other mods of the community may disagree and remove it, as it is technically violating rule 1 (which we all agreed was for the ultimate benefit of the community). If one of the other mods decides this post should be removed, then I support that decision.

So, for now, carry on, but be civil.

More like a parasite since it's competing with the rest of your body for that oxygen.

I think most people, even outside Lemmy, are in favor of legalization. There's just a lot of old people in charge of the laws who are against it because of years of "Reefer Madness" propaganda crap.

Like, Ohio had a ballot initiative not long ago to legalize it recreationally and, after it passed, their legislature tried to knee-cap it (unsuccessfully, I believe).

Fruits and vegetables.

Didn't think I'd see a useful Life Pro Tip here, but such it is. Going to give this a try.
