I think it ceases to be a kink when the founder essentially says they value their right to the sub over any potential harm it causes. If anything, the "kink" is feeling like they're above consequences.

A great example of how people on the Internet will twist their brains into any weird shape they feel empowered to do by others. I don't give a shit about "kinks", I give a shit about Nazis feeling at home on the Internet. Because it's a fucking problem. Fuck that sub and fuck the founder. What a bizarre asshole.

I fucking loathe conservatives. They are proud Nazis but scoff at the use of the term. But it's the only term that really describes them. Fucking Nazis.

They literally already deleted their account. The person you responded to was right to be sketched out.

You wrote something like "is there a campaign to fight against misinformation on lemmy? I have been seeing a ton of it."

Edit: exact comment from modlog is "Apologies, slightly off topic but is there a thread for organising action against misinformation on Lemmy? I've come here from Reddit and the amount of right wing misinformation and propaganda is insane. So much floating around unmoderated. Just looking for tips on how to effectively deal with it more than anything (other than abandoning ship!) "

Not sure how that was not supposed to be taken as referring to misinformation on Lemmy.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

Exactly. Windows simps gonna simp.

I'm just going to play it safe and never talk about it again on here from now on.

Erm, what? If you've seen evidence of right wing trolls you should absolutely talk about it and mention specifics. Thing is, I still don't know if you saw such evidence. You're being cagey about it.

The first two thirds of this comment apply to any OS, most of all: windows. I would rather use a terminal any day than edit the registry to fix a basic issue I'm having 🤮

I didn't accuse you of being a bot.

But you did ignore my point, which is that reddit is crawling with right wing bullshit and Lemmy isn't at all, but it seems like you implied Lemmy has a lot compared to reddit. Which is bizarre. Especially since you made an account hours ago, you wouldn't have had time to see much if any right wing bullshit.

Yep. And the right wingers just choose what they want to believe anyway. The evidence they see literally means nothing if it contradicts what they'd like to be true.

 

For me, the only thing that works is spending time with my partner or friends and taking the edge off with cannabis. During the work day, I have felt a lot of despair for a long time. Trump fans and the public's reaction to vaccines and COVID in general lead me to believe that there's just no such thing as peace on a societal level. I'm not sure that ever existed in any way, but I think it used to be incredibly easier to delude yourself into thinking the state of humanity is much better than it is, or at least much better than this.

And I don't think deluding ourselves is even slightly a solution. In fact I think that's a major source of why society is so fucked today. People tuning out and letting shit get worse. Capitalism running wild while most people just shrug their shoulders if forced to address it, but typically never even thinking about it or how things could be better.

We aren't cut out for this shit. The effects of bad news streamed 24/7 like an IV drip has got to be worse for our health than smoking. I suspect I will die 15 years prematurely due to stroke or some other blood pressure related failure.

Another exacerbating factor is vocally negative people. No matter what happens, even if something good happens, there's always someone lurking in comment sections telling everyone how stupid they are if they see anything positive about that news. Some days I really think I need to be a hermit in the woods with no Internet. Because the load of the modern world is just too much to bear.

I've tried therapy and various drugs. Nothing's helped much or for very long. I think about changing careers but that has a lot of risks I'm unsure are worth it. In fact I'm not even sure it would help. Has anyone successfully changed careers and gone from feeling how I describe here to a much healthier state of being? Or have you found anything else that helps? I know hobbies can help, but I'm at the point today where I just have no motivation to get back to mine.

Interview with formerly decorated lawyer under Trump's first term who is now sounding the alarm about lawlessness at the DOJ at direction of Emil Bove.

Former Justice Department lawyer Erez Reuveni speaks out about the disregard of due process and for the rule of law that he says he witnessed in his final weeks at the Department of Justice.

This feels somewhat significant. Not the first one to serve and later come out against the Trump administration, but every day things seem to escalate further toward absolute authoritarianism and thus it is scarier than ever for whistleblowers to go public.

Thanks @9limmer@lemmy.zip for bringing this to my attention in a comment elsewhere in this community.

 

Nothing scary about this at all.

Update: apparently already backtracked: https://abcnews.go.com/US/trump-preparing-executive-order-telling-education-secretary-dissolve/story?id=119499614

This might be the normal Trump tactic of floating horrible ideas, so don't be surprised if it comes back later.
