I think this is a good point. When I got here, before I started shaping my feed, it was basically rule196, furry porn, tankies and memes.

Actually… A lot like Reddit in the Digg days, minus the tankies.

Less “gems” and rage comics and “Le”, but the same idea, modernized for 2023.

It was those of us (probably in this Lemmy thread, ironically, 15 years-ish later) who outlasted the Le gems of Reddit, and turned it into the modern place.

Then, spez. Fuck spez

Or, maybe, the world is more liberal than you’ve been led to believe as your circle of influence grew smaller as you got older.

Does this feel like Reddit did then? Does to me.

How many times are you up to now? I’ve counted at 30 times you’ve posted this so far

Nah, I think I’ll stay and keep chatting with you fine folks. You seem so grounded. Your points are always well articulated.

Plus,I think making fun of you is entertaining

I’m dying. This is my favorite comment of yours by far. I’m amazed that you realize that you have some deficiencies in the intelligence department. Fuckin brilliant

Hah, sorry guy, you seem to have found yourself smack in the middle of lemmygrad brigade. You can keep replying to them, but it doesn’t matter.

They’re just gonna keep saying shit that makes zero sense, then 10 tankies will upvote them and downvote you

It really doesn’t matter what you say. It’s the same in every thread

He’s just your standard Lemmygrad genius. It’s like /r/theDonald, but somehow, almost dumber, which I thought would be difficult.

Removed by mod

How do you appear in every single thread bitching about liberals? You know your people have safe zones? Why not just go there.

Grab yourself a hot little Truth Social ™ account and you can rant about brown people and LGBTQ people all you want. Nobody will complain.

Come on, it’ll be fun. Y’all can compare truck flags.

I’m more annoyed they’re intermingled. The small userbase here isn’t posting enough to fill a feed, but the bots do make things weird.

If you’re in a news community, politics, tech space, etc. it can be pretty annoying to have both bots and users posting. Maybe if it was a news community that was only bots or no bots, that would be an improvement.

This is just a great response. Are you waiting to be persecuted for something?

Quick, someone say something nice about LGBTQ people so he can respond and get banned.

This is amazing

Why is this guy still here? He’s been banned already for this same bullshit.

It’s definitely a problem here. They spam to every news community, then brigade the votes. And, they use a bunch of alt accounts on different instances.

Lol, oh good, they’ve seen this. I forgot to mention, they also brigade. 5 downvotes in 5 minutes.

Lemmy.ml also has a lemmygrad instance that is spamming propaganda and disinformation in all the news / politics subs. The !worldnews here is just about useless since it’s 75% lemmygrad users and their alts spamming nonsense.

I’m actually amused at how much fun you seem to have doing this despite how bad you are at it.

It’s like you read some skiddie guide on trolling and disinformation. You’re not even subtle. This is just the most laughable attempt.

Lol, do you feel like you’re helping some cause or something? Are you like a secret agent?

You changed the headline of this one also? What is your deal man? Just here to stir shit up?

Yes? Wtf do you mean? Does UN secretary general asserting his own opinion through a deputy spokesman does not equate to the UN rejecting shit.

Antonio Guterres is the Secretary General of the Secretariat. He does not speak for the UN on policy. Which, is exactly why your quote from Forbes says “Guterres was against the use of cluster munitions” not “UN Rejects”. The UN hasn’t done shit. They’ve not made a rejection statement or vote. They’ve not “condemned” anything.

One dude, through a deputy spokesman, at a morning briefing, said he didn’t like it.
