I always just assumed it was a competition thing with Desantis being his strongest opponent to running on the Republican platform

FWIW, I do try to mix in some generic, mostly non-political stuff here and there (though admittedly I have an order of magnitude more political memes than non-political ones in my collection of stolen memes).

But I don’t disagree with your point. Mixing it up more is definitely better for avoiding stagnation.

Most complaints I get are usually triggered people from other instances.

But this is actually very fair criticism imo. I am guilty especially. Pretty much everything I’ve posted to date is a repost. Will endeavor to work on some OC when I get time. Can’t promise it’ll be great but I think I can at least do better than “GENITALS AMIRITE?”. Might be a bit till I have time to sit down and play around in gimp or pinta tho.

Now if we could just outlaw ESG, DEI, and similar political-based financial controls and shutdown Blackrock then maybe corporate wokeness could finally die

yeah, been down on and off a good chunk of the day for me

Thanks for the insight, hadn’t realized that was you or that you guys had already discussed all of this. Guess it isn’t worth bothering then.

I was concerned about contributing to the problem but it sounds like it is a problem that would exist even if I stopped posting offense memes and such in dankmemes or if that was hidden from front page. I didn’t really expect the complainers would be satisfied with something like that but figured if someone was specifically complaining about my posts appearing on main page in a defed discussion, I should at least check in with EH people that they don’t mind

San Francisco or maybe just California in general. Seems unreal that a place could have such completely foolish and looney governance

Yeah, I could be way off and it’s not actually possible (at least not currently)

I did see one of the linked PRs here

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/2055

Had something about it but it also has this

2. Hidden communities do not show up in all, local, or trending unless subscribed

Which might mean that hiding it is more of a full-site action that would affect Search too and frankly if that’s the only option, I vote for no way, not worth it

Like this one better myself but totally agree we don’t cry about memes

EH may be a little saucy here and there… but it is NO where near what all the fear mongering is about. This is not stormfront or some other hate site by any stretch other than the by the delusional mind, but those people can’t handle a single blurb outside their safe space echo chamber.

Absolutely 100% agree with everything you said here.

I only asking about front page visibility. Definitely not suggesting to stop or change how we operate. And even if the answer is “no, fuck those crybabies” then I’m cool with that, just figured I’d at least ask.

I’ll happily come to their instance and stir shit up.

Probably that wouldn’t help us any in the eyes of neutral parties.

I think best bet would honestly be to do one of those mail-in cash for crypto things and get something anonymous like monero.

I’ve heard irl money laundering is often done at casinos or places that use lots of small cash (car wash etc), so vegas might be another option but personally I would be worried about cameras.

Or just use it for illegal shit like drugs and whoring. I don’t want to promote violence so I won’t suggest things like “pay for a hit on soros” but if I saw a headline that he was gone, I’d drink to that lol

Done. Now still feel tired and sick bit my pecks got that “bro you need to work out more” feeling lol

9gag and gab, haven’t been on long so not really. I think on gab only comment was the intro one and I just said I dislike troons or something.

The lemmy accounts, some comments but not much. I don’t post same stuff as here obv cyz they would cry and ban me then hang themselves. And when I post its on very different stuff than on here. I think I had 1 political comment ever on those and it was something mild with no un-pc language that I think was basically “affirmative action hurts minorities in the end” iirc.

I use vpn on everything and not a single account uses an email that can be traced back to me to reduce chance of doxx.

I know probably should try to create communities here, ask questions here and try when possible but sometimes you want a more immediate answer, even if you don’t think you can trust the people giving it in anything outside of that topic.

Example: I don’t watch tones of anime but here and there I’ll watch one. if I have a question on it, EH doesn’t have a anime sub and haven’t seen anyone else say they watch it. i don’t really have an interest enough to create/mod a sub for one either.

Well americans use the term liberal wrongly

Been trying to read up on this a bit more. Someone else mentioned something similar in a comment recently too. I had previously assumed “liberal” meant “more government” since people also say things like “liberal amounts of (bacon/butter/etc)” to mean “more”. But seems like that is wrong or at least not how the political term works.

From reading online (mostly this quora post), it sounds like the term “liberal” in Europe came from the idea of “liberty”, much like “libertarian” in the US with their main opposition in EU being existing aristocracy and theocracy. Since US didn’t have these elements, both parties were originally based off EU “liberalism” concepts but have diverged over time on other points.

So yeah, sounds like the term “liberal” as it is used over here is probably a misnomer /bastardization/whatever. I don’t think I’ll be able to change everybody in the states to use different term but I will try to avoid on global sites going forward to avoid confusion

So guessing Europe doesn’t have “Republicans” but do the terms “woke”, “conservative”, “left (-wing)”, and “right(-wing)” still more or less have the same meaning as in US? Or is just completely different and I will need to do more reading before I get?

From stuff I see online, seems like there are many Europeans who have very similar values to myself and I’d rather not accidentally piss off the wrong people just cuz I used a local term that mean something completely different there… I want to express myself correctly so I piss off the right people using the right terms 😁

It’s stolen money from high profile homicide case and the feds know all of the serial numbers

Yeah, have lots of alts but not very active on them. several lemmys but with different names. lemmy world and shitjustwoke both kinda boring imo but occasionally i pop on for something or other. dbzer0 ok if you want to read about pirate stuff but they big lefties over there.

Also gab, 9gag with same name except maybe underscores or something, don’t remember

Waiting to have energy again (got sick and just feeling blah)

Probably “Nazi”, “Bigot” or something similar.

If we didn’t live in a clown world, probably just “slacker” or “nerd” or something idk

Thanks. Not sure what that means (isn’t liberal = anti gun, libertarian= pro gun… at least in the us)?

But I saw in the link from your other comment he say

I’m a constitutional absolutist. We can argue about whether the Second Amendment was intended to protect guns. That argument has now been settled by the Supreme Court.

So he definitely ok on 2A for me. I just distrustful of politicians especially since I remember libertarian Gay Johnson in the 2016 elections who was libertarian candidate and allegedly pro-2A but then he flip flop after a shooting and cave to wanting gun control… Really piss me off.

Anyway if he pro immigration then yeah probably not my first pick. Not completely anti immigrant but I would want the exact opposite of what liberals usually want (e.g. I want more anti-communist, skilled, and predominantly white Christians, with no criminal history). He still sounds much much better than any other choices I’ve seen on the left in the past decade
