  • No where does that source say Biden tried to shut down the Internet. The closest is this part

    Donald Trump publicly advocated that “in some places” we have to talk about “closing up the Internet.” He got his wish, but it came after him personally following his election in 2016. The very free speech about which he made fun turned out to be rather important to him and his cause.

    Also I can’t take a site seriously when one of their sources they link to is the Twitter user “End Wokeness”

    There are some parts I agree with, but there’s plenty there that’s right wing dog whistles for “I want to say hateful things and have no consequences” free speech





  • Yeah, probably wrong. There’s not a bunch of third party info on the environmental impact this factory will have, and no evidence anyone was bribed. If it makes you feel better, this isn’t their first factory and I couldn’t find any negative news about that factory either. Community leaders were supportive though, and a bunch of jobs were created.

    I did find some articles about the positive environmental impact sodium batteries have from production, to relative ease of recycling, if that makes you feel better.








  • You may disagree, but it is a pretty widely agreed upon distinction. It’s a symptom of the issue of a fractured left wing. The left leaning communists wanted to distinguish themselves from the left leaning capitalists, so they started calling themselves leftists and not liberals.

    It’s just a bunch of different labels, it’s not really set in stone or definitive. I totally understand why you disagree.

    My point really was just that a conservative calling someone a communist isn’t insulting to a lot of self described leftists because they are communist, it’s mostly just considered an insult to a conservative. Kinda like calling an alt right person a Nazi is an insult from a leftist, but plenty of alt righties wouldn’t be insulted because they are (jk but not really but jk)

    Def some better than others. I give them props because looking through the modlog, they are good at removing or banning trolls, bigots, and far right disinfo. I just personally disagree with the seemingly frequent support for Russia, China, North Korea, etc.

    At least in memes, politics isn’t the focus of the community.

    Hey that’s me!

    reason: lemmy.ml rule 1 (“butt hurt”)

    I’m not really butt hurt. I’m actually a mod myself, but for a tiny community that doesn’t get a bunch of awful comments. I really do have respect for the amount of garbage the mods in [email protected] and [email protected] have to go through. Most of the comments they remove are completely valid.

    But this is a meme sub so…

    What the heck did you just hecking say about me, you little mod? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the lemmy.world Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda.ml, and I have over 300 confirmed comments. I am trained in gorilla shitposting and I’m the top sniper in the entire fediverse armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another mod. I will wipe you the heck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my hecking words. You think you can get away with saying that poopy to me over the Internet? Think again, meanypants. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the fediverse and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, picklebrain. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your modlog. You’re hecking over, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can comment at you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in verbal combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the lemmy Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable bubblebutt off the face of the Internet, you little bozo. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” mod action was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your hecking finger. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goshdarn dumbo. I will poop butthurt comments all over you and you will drown in it. You’re hecking done, kiddo.
