It’s be fun to have a nemesis like that. Nothing life threatening or too evil, just enough where you’d turn and say, “Newman”.

Great show

Two trains passing in the night…

Oh that’s not fair, Leslie Knope is the public servant we all deserve.

I’ll throw in a few.

I want Dr. Cox and JD to be my medical team, the two of them would do everything they could.

I want my local burger shop to be Bob’s.

And I wish Captain Holt was a real police commissioner.

It’s both ways, I both ignore things from you, and I don’t send anything to you either.

Exactly right. The positive is that we can also easily defederate from bad actors, but unless you explicitly allowlist everything then that’s going to be a losing battle.

Downside of free and open is that it’s, well, free and open.

Thank you!

Sounds like it’s a site wide push about Microsoft products:

I’ll take one, if you don’t mind, I’ve heard everyone talk about it but never tried it

Think about how much propaganda we are fed. The right tried to tell us that all major cities are horrible crime ridden deathtraps and it’s just not true. I can walk through my city any time and be fine. Now people may not feel safe but feelings aren’t what is actually happening.

What is proven is that fear gets clicks, and so the more you amp up that things are unsafe the more people will click.

Most reasonable answer. Propaganda is insidious. It is subtle, it can latch onto anything. It could be racism, that’s one thing sure. It could be that they wanted lower taxes and over time it slowly convinced them it was all of the others. It could be anything. To assume like this, well, it’s exactly why the right has so much just reasoning when saying we’re quick to throw the racism card. Because, well just look at this thread.

I’m sorry, I assumed by posting about it that you were passionate for this change. If you don’t care that’s fine - but I don’t know why you posted about it then.

Yes, that is my proposal. Many people complain saying there are better ways to host instances but no one is willing to practice what they preach and actually do it. If you want to see change in the fediverse then you should step up and do it.

New users have a choice when joining, you should make a new instance and convince the new users why they should join. I would support a toggle on join-lemmy which lets them see what servers are geographically close, but that would be irrelevant before you set up an instance to pave the way.

If you “can’t be bothered” then obviously you aren’t as passionate about it as you claim to be.

Again, the proposed solution stands. Set up your own instance and prove us all wrong, show us how to make this local place where people talk to each other in their physical community.

There, that better? Show us how to do it, if it’s popular more will do it.

And I believe this logical fallacy is Moral Equivalence.

We’re not comparing here, I’m not biting on the rage bait. Again, the proposed solution stands. Set up your own instance and prove us all wrong, show us how to make this utopia you promise.

Ah I believe this is the Either/Or logical fallacy.

People not wanting to see hate speech or propaganda does not mean they are in echo chambers. Those are two different things.

It also doesn’t stand with my original statement. Go set up your own instance that is welcoming. That would prove that it’s not an echo chamber and expand the fediverse. Win win from what I see. Let us know when it’s up.

Your views here go against the nature of the fediverse. You’re telling people they should go there and be unhappy with their choices. That’s not how the fediverse works.

The fediverse way to to spun up a Mexican server which does have the views and federation people want, and encourage others to join naturally.

Not related at all to the arguments above.

Thank you. I heard from ex coworkers that he felt like the outage made him look bad in front of his new boss, so firing me was a political move for him. He then had to have several meetings with people saying that “(scrubbles) didn’t get fired for one outage”, which everyone knew was bullshit. Apparently morale plummeted. So there’s a silver lining. He torpedoed all trust he had with his team.

I think everyone who tells jokes needs to understand that. It will get back to them. I don’t care if your friends at the bar think it’s funny, Tammy in HR will be the one deciding if it’s funny or not.
