Thanks a lot for the suggestions!
I’m mostly half-serious.
Thanks a lot for the suggestions!
This is what I don’t get. Everyone here had the sentiment of “we will vote for anyone who is not Donald Trump”. But then they balked at the suggestion that Biden should drop out and insisted that no one could replace him.
Now that Biden has been replaced… they’re saying Biden being replaced was a low percentage gamble. Something here doesn’t add up.
This comment alone is making me interested in Greek mythology. I’d like to know more. Any reading suggestions toward that end?

Water? You mean that stuff that goes in toilets?
Agreed, Facebook is terrible. But I’d say that Lemmy and Reddit are on a par (as regards users and mods). Perhaps Lemmy’s major upside is the decentralized structure, but then you lose out on the niche content that Reddit offers.
Priorities lmao
It needs to be said. If we can’t acknowledge how contradicting narratives were fed to us within the same month, then it shows an alarming lack of cognitive dissonance on our part.
There are people on Lemmy who argued that Biden is not our best bet against Trump; they were told that Biden was the best that the party can do and that there was not enough time to replace Biden. Now, we’re all supposed to move on like that didn’t just happen.
That said, I am pleasantly surprised to see the community admitting the mistake. I assumed this post would be downvoted heavily but the post felt necessary for the reasons above.
In contrast, people that are right on big, important issues I try to pay more attention to
Jon Stewart comes to mind
This is literally not a meme
I don’t understand. If a mod from memes.world bans me from a meme community, I can still comment on memes.world from another instance? Or are you saying just go to another community on another instance that has the same kind of content? Because if it’s the latter then Lemmy’s userbase number problem comes into play. Even popular subjects only have like one or two big communities.
Kinda feels like the site isn’t developing much at all tbh. I know mods have been asking for more tools for a while now
Does anyone have this meme template?
This is a completely disingenuous response that I keep hearing. Yes, it being an election year intensifies the problem. But Lemmy’s intolerance to criticism of anything left-wing pre-dates 2024. Go back a year ago and look at the posts on politicalmemes@lemmy.world . Same shit different day.
The fact that everyone is paying attention to politics right now actually makes it a great time to call the democrats on their shit in the hopes that they will at least promise to make more foundational changes. But that’s not going to happen: we continue to settle for the status quo.
I’ve gotten back into recreational reading. Started by reading very easy material at a designated time (young adult literature and manga before dinner). Also got into the book review side of YouTube for inspiration of what to read next. The former practice built up the habit and the latter gave motivation to read some of the great works out there. Just finished War and Peace and I’m now going tearing through my science fiction backlog.
This is great stuff, thanks!
