Because there’s big money in doing the worst possible decision and the American voters are more or less fine with money in politics.

Honestly I have no idea what this meme’s context is.

I believe her just as much as I believe anyone else’s word: Little to none.

But clowning on her because she apparently announced her intent to back Democratic Socialists is… dumb for reasons I stated.

This is just a classic incidence of Purity Testing and I reject it on principle, not because I think Harris is especially virtuous or deserving of defense. As I said, cannibalism is counter-productive and it loses elections. I hope all the people who smugly sat home refusing to vote for Harris are happy that Trump won.

Funny meme, but I welcome people leaving their echo chambers.

Right, I covered that in my last paragraph.

Calls for violence are against their ToS. Shocker!

The American left needs to fall out of love with cannibalism.

I don’t care why Harris wants to do the right thing now.

Allow people to save face and change their positions - attacking them for “flip flops” is to say “No reasonable adult should ever change their mind about anything” which is not only bananas, but discourages people from doing critical thinking because they’d face humiliation for reversing course.

Not to mention physical courage.

Aren’t you supposed to wait for something to be widely adopted before you enshittify it?

I get long-term enshittification in pursuit of short term Line Must Go Up but I feel like this would significantly impede it even in the short term.

Kinda reeks of Meta being in financial trouble.

Musk definitely has zero understanding of Kessler Syndrome; one of many drops in a bucket of evidence that he’s not the genius his PR team wants us to think he is.

They solve a couple issues but introduce a host of others.

If you focus on the couple issues solved, you’re obviously biased.

Yeah, mainstream folks like mainstream social media.

they ban you even if go too hard on trump

Uhh… no. I shit on him routinely on Reddit and I have yet to be banned.

Do you mean actively call for violence against him? Then yeah, they’ll ban you for that.

Another reminder that the average IQ is 100.

Yep, they’ll hit you with the:

Not all authoritarians or assholes are tankies.

The mod guiltiest for the abuses of /r/tampa is probably a card-carrying Liberal, given he’s a(n alleged) former Marine that allows racist dogwhistles to be posted in /r/tampa but also invites people to /r/liberalgunowners. He goes by /u/md28usmc.

I did an AskLemmy post about it a few months ago: https://lemmy.world/post/43898917?scrollToComments=true

As you can see, there’s not even consensus on whether or not VPNs are in fact being treated differently, let alone why. There are some in that thread that insist it’s a great idea, too.

There’s a way to View Moderation History on yourself and others on Lemmy. Sometimes the people that ban you leave an explanation. Sometimes they think it’s obvious or you’re beneath them so they don’t.

1. My city’s subreddit is very active (though the moderators recently went mad with power). I’m actively stealing their content to grow the Lemmy community for it.

2. People talk about legal stuff a lot on Reddit, including asking (ex-)cops questions about them (because lots of (ex-)cops use Reddit).

FYI lemmy.world is hostile to VPNs too; I just had to switch servers because it wouldn’t let me post a comment due to VPN use.

Evidently not enough people left Reddit due to their last enshittification measure, so the enshittification will continue.

The older you get, the less excited and more annoyed at New for New’s Sake; the yoots either find it normal (everything is new when you’re brand new) or thrilling and exclusive (“Look, something changed! Wow! I bet fewer (older) people understand this!”)

When I go to the grocery store I’m not looking for an adventure, I just want to buy the things and leave. But that’s not as profitable.
