Yeah I’m finding beehaw a great, very active community. They’re doing something right.
I won’t be using this account anymore as I do not believe the administration of my instance is operating in good faith.

I’m glad people have correctly realized that the French should be associated with violent anti government riots and not surrendering. That was a meme that needed to die.
It’s not much better in other places. Lots of us rely on being “better than the us” so as it slides, so do we, just a few meters behind.
Politicians need to actually feel concerned about how the people they are hurting will respond. Currently they know there will be nothing more than a few grouchy news articles and upset social media comments.
It’s been going on for most of the server’s lifespan. The vote to defederate exploding heads was a week ago now, and afaik the dude hasn’t commented on it yet. Admins for the instance have said “we need more time”.
IDK. I like this account but I think I’m going to close it off and go to another instance, maybe I’ll return if this one gets its “sh.it” together. It’d be one thing to be given a reason for disregarding the vote - then I could decide if I agree or not - but the radio silence feels disrespectful given the nature of the request.
God this argument is old and tired. Why don’t we just sit down with the fascists, surely if they understand we have feelings that they’re hurting, they’ll stop threatening us and our families. We just need to be nicer to them!
You people don’t know any of the history of the 1930s.
Thank you, I appreciate the honest answer.
I have a non-binary kid. It’s not an exaggeration or imagination. People have made death threats against them. They’re under twelve years old.
You only think it’s exaggerated because you’re sheltered from it.
Why don’t we put it to a vote?
We did.
There. Done. Or it should be, if the objective of the server to be administrated based on votes is honest.
Good. I’m glad you see more people wanting to shut down fascists than you see fascists.
Indeed, but we did vote strongly in favour of defederating exploding heads and I’m still seeing their alt-right garbage in my feed. I don’t have a lot more patience for people who clutch their pearls and wonder if it’s okay to infringe on the free speech rights of fascists than I do for the fascists themselves.
To heck with you for your stupid opinion, everyone is obviously always positive here
Was wild logging in this morning to see it and thinking “yep this is going to be a hit” and coming back to see the highest voted Lemmy post ever
Glad another Marxist said it. The problem isn’t that capitalism was always the wrong choice, it’s that we’re clinging to it long beyond its best before date.
New Comments is also good.
Jokes on them, we can’t sort by upvotes and downvotes in most cases anyway
Compared to account growth that’s low but a 33% growth in four days is hard to call “low”
There’s no way to prevent it entirely. A larger community will slide that way.
I do think that it can be less encouraged though.
I don’t really want to miss my family for that long. Maybe I’d go back to when my kids were babies and become a live-in nannydad? I could see that getting weird though.
If I didn’t have that level of control but I absolutely had to go somewhen, I guess I’d either go a few decades in the future to see how it shapes up, or to the neolithic era so I could finally find out a bunch of things we’d never otherwise have known. That era seems like it was pretty cool, and I happen to know enough baseline science to actually recreate some of my favourite amenities.
I highly doubt it. There’s no shortage of people willing to do it for free.
I love this story, thanks for sharing it.
