Fuck this system for making me choose between bad and worse

Don't make me defend the US voting system but that is not how it works. Primaries exist and that's where voters make the case for a specific person. The large, general, national elections are for forming coalitions and compromising. This is what we do to decide who gets power instead of physically fighting. There will never, ever be a time when a single candidate is the ideal choice for a majority of Americans. Compromise is a core tenant of democracy and by definition it means nobody gets everything they want.

And while we're on the topic, 99% of leftists understand this. Anyone telling you "voting doesn't matter" or that "both candidates are the same" is just trying to reverse the progress that's already been made.

Your point? If you have conservative values, then not supporting Trump does indeed help Biden to win.

Not voting doesn’t mean you support Trump.

You're saying that if you did vote, it would be for Trump? Because that's the only case in which not voting wouldn't help Trump.

I don't get this attitude. Obama was literally against gay marriage. Biden's policies have been so much more progressive than Obama's and yet nobody I know likes him more. I'm not a "fan" of Biden but that's because it's weird and creepy to be a "fan" of government officials. He does a lot I don't like but if you literally hate Biden I don't forsee any president ever meeting your criteria.

No... NO. It was appallingly terrible at banning Nazis, worse than even Reddit in many ways. Twitter banned a tiny, tiny fraction of extremely prominent and openly fascist accounts that had been permitted to operate for years, but they ignored Nazi dogwhistles from large accounts and smaller accounts that didn't gain a following and were used to harass 1-2 people were generally allowed to operate freely.

Remember: they didn't even ban Donald Trump himself until he tried to literally violently overthrow the US government. Twitter pre-Musk was an absolute shit hole, but it was at least headed in a hopeful direction. Musk kept it a shit hole and just changed the direction it was going.

Uh... source? This runs counter to everything I've seen and read about it.

You're correct. It doesn't stop Nazis from having a home or building a following. It just allows users to not see it.

It would be funny if he started a Mastodon instance with whatever his values are. The reason he would never do that is because it's not for profit.

Treating them like whining crying babies is the opposite of treating like the boogieman 😂

XZ Hack - "If this timeline is correct, it’s not the modus operandi of a hobbyist. [...] It wouldn’t be surprising if it was paid for by a state actor." ( lcamtuf.substack.com )

Thought this was a good read exploring some how the "how and why" including several apparent sock puppet accounts that convinced the original dev (Lasse Collin) to hand over the baton.

Stuxnet was an extremely focused attack, targeting specific software on specific PLCs in a specific way to prevent them mixing up nuclear batter into a boom boom cake. Even if it managed to affect the whole world, it would be a laser compared to this wide-net.

Most of the "communities" are just endless meme reposts like reddit,

Meanwhile Apple does this every few years and nobody cares.

"The real harassment is when someone reported harassment in the community I moderate"

My heart breaks for what he has endured 😢

You ignored the mod, they warned you, and instead of going with it you made a bunch of posts calling them names, and they reported those posts for violating lemmy.world rules?

.......am i missing something?? I kept waiting for the part where ValueSubtracted did anything to you. This is not even drama this is a tantrum on full display I and regret reading it.

OPs entire rant boils down to "asking me not to harass people is the real harassment". One of the people in OPs story communicated through dms and reports, the other made giant public drama threads in their own unrelated community. Posts like this were actually removed from SRD.

I take no side I just don't think this is good drama. This is the exact kind of "wah wah wah a mod asked me to be nice I am le harassed" stuff that SRD would have removed back on the other site.
