No idea - it was introduced by the less overtly fascistic of the two parties alternating in government, so… D:

Labour has always been authoritarian and were cheering along OSA all the way when the Conservatives introduced it - Nadine Dorries heavily involved before her bizarre defection to Reform. Something they don't get called out for enough.

I mean, the admin onboarding was so onerous, I'm not surprised they can't find anyone. I remember interviews, like a day-job! I seem to remember multiple rounds of interviews, but I can't be sure anymore

There is a very detailed write up floating around somewhere I'll link it if I find it, in the meantime https://edition.cnn.com/2016/06/06/politics/superdelegates-hillary-clinton-nomination/index.html

Unfortunately, L.w. was never run as a democracy

please share where jordan is calling for people to be murdered.

So literally what you asked for. Asking for the justice system to do it is still calling for a person to be murdered. Death penalty is just legal/state sponsored murder.

Wait this you are discussing with them but not the defedederation???

This is definitely a comment that could have been phrased a lot better, but I don't see how this could even remotely be considered a call for violence.

I and most would consider it much worse than saying death to zionists, yet here we are.

When I say federation as a whole, I mean more instances have dropped hex than hex has dropped them. Just because they defed from some instances doesn't mean that the federation as a whole hasn't done the same. Hell even in this thread the amount of alts from hexbear here down voting anyone who says anything else is proof that the majority of hex are people who just want to spread tankie propaganda and whine when they get called out on it.

He's now arguing nuance and investigation for being shown a mod called for violence by saying kill a criminal but still.

Jfc they are just going off the plot here

Yep. I'll soldier on for now but I've been considering switching. I've had a comment to the tune of "not surprising given your instance" so now I have a lot more context on that.

I stand by what I originally said. It wasn't inflammatory, but don't have enough fucks to give to deal with the inevitable replies.

for one, using 'sucks dick' as metaphor for submission treats gay sex as inherently degrading. that's what's specifically homophobic.

I think there is a point where most insults target some group though. Do we stop saying motherfucker because it's degrading to mothers? Or cunt because it's degrading to women? (Australia is fucked if that's the case). Not suggesting here that I'm defending that 'sucks dick' has the connotation, as I do get your point.

'my gay friends say it' is kind of the 'my black friends use the n-word' defense

Totally walked into that one lol that's on me.

there's plenty of things to shit on both trump and putin for, i think the problem is bringing sex into it at all.

That's fair, I'm sure I could have gone with anything else, but a full ban for saying it was a bit much, considering how often people use well anything derogatory towards those two shit stains.

my sentiments about the two of them would best be expressed by putting me in the same room as them with a loaded gun

Couldn't agree with you more there

When I say federation as a whole, I mean more instances have dropped hex than hex has dropped them.

ok who dropped hexbear and why? Also I see only myself and two others from hexbear.

Which is fine that you think that way but you're hanging out with the wrong crowd then. Those tankies if they ever got power would put you right next to me in a firing squad. You're just a means to their ends.

To be clear, whilst it was announced in the matrix channel first - if I wanted to quietly defederate an instance, I wouldn't blurt it out to a group chat comprised of a bunch of other instance owners and admins, including admins of the parent instances of anarchist.nexus who would likely get upset about it.

Odd. I was just outright offered adminship on lemmy.world more than once.

Thank you for the long laundry list of world embarrassments.

Switch instances people and block world. Your sanity will be saved.

that's hardly a forgone conclusion; for one the conditions are way different and at this point under our current bourgeois dictatorship i'm far more likely to eat a bullet thanks to some feckless liberal.

i have more common cause with MLs opposing empire than with liberals funding genocide.

Australia is fucked if that’s the case

australia is fucked for a wide variety of reasons tbh

i try to purge insults which target out-groups from my usage as a general practice, i take the point that it does apply to a lot of common insults though. i prefer to paint a vivid picture with my words.

generally i agree that a perm ban is a bit much, i prefer to keep bans to temporary, unless the person is being particularly abusive to specific users. people don't really have room to learn with perm bans.

i will say that though .ml has a reputation for banning people a lot, most of the time when i follow up on someone who is complaining about draconian mod censorship it will turn out they caught a temp ban and are just being dramatic

Does Israel have a right to exist?

I believe she won a majority of pledged delegates independent of superdelegates -- however, this I do agree with how fucked up that was as someone who campaigned for Sanders that year.

But further; a) Why has Sanders continued with Democrats then (even running again in 2020), and b) it's worth noting the rules on superdelegates changed after 2016. So, progress

Sorry I am genuinely struggling to understand your first paragraph but if I understand right -- Yes, we can defeat zionist candidates just as Talarico did against Crockett. Just as Mamdani did against Cuomo.

Ultimately these candidates run within the framework of the Democratic party to success. I have no problem with this, and I have no problem who advocates for these candidates either within or outside of the Democratic party so long as it actually is on the Democratic ticket and changes the composition therein.

Taiwan doesn’t have the military power to take over mainland China, but they certainly want to.

Based on what do you claim this?

You cannot support a Zionist and not be a Zionist yourself.

Supporting Ukraine defending themselves against Russia has nothing to do with Israel.

Would’ve be something to see you put Jordanlund in his place.

Oh yeah. I'd have dropkicked his ass out of the door a long time ago.

In an ideal world where this could happen in a peaceful way? I wouldn't see an issue with that.

In our current world where it seems that the only way for it to exist is one involving mass murder? Absolutely not.

Less flexible about getting flowers in a vase, however

Honestly a great move from the .world admins to prevent themselves from becoming too big, and I applaud their effort to piss everyone off and make them leave for more community oriented instances lmao

I messaged Kaplan privately and Kaplan is seeing nothing but red. I updated my original comment to show some context. But Kaplan just went ham and instantly defederated because of a perceived sleight and has been going on a rampage against everyone since. Meanwhile there are serious discussions happening behind the scenes for other major instances to defederate from lemmy.world in response.

Kaplan is threatening to nuke one instance and, in response, will manage to have lemmy.world effectively embargoed to death.

I literally do not understand the point of that edit at fucking all.

🍿

I'm okay with a bloody coup

Impressive list

What's really funny is the realization that I had. I keep forgetting that Kaplan is using the name of a character from a TV show.

That character, a woman that uses the name Mr Kaplan for backstory reasons, ended up being written out (temporarily) after she went against the lead character (of which it aint me, I'm a random fuckin NPC in Season 1 Episode 2 in the background) and proceeded to not talk to him or anyone else and do what she thought was best. Unilaterally made a decision that managed to functionally destroy everything she was trying to protect, leaving her to desperately try and clean up the mess.

Makes you think. Just hoping that this time Mr. Kaplan doesn't fake Liz's death.

… I’m pretty sure both Democrats and Republicans are fascists.

two sides of the same coin.

No. Very much no.

But first of all, where you are right is that the oligarchs are the true root of the problem in the US; or at least, the worst problem we have. And they do corrupt the entire system, yes.

However, the bits I've quoted above are very much not the case. I won't do it here, but I have many many times pulled up voting records for what each side has actually voted for.

I can't say there's not times when they coordinate to make something almost pass, but I definitely can say that there are very VERY clear differences.

For one recent example close to my home here in Virginia: republicans have abused gerrymandering far longer and far worse than Democrats. Dems have tried to pass legislation to stop it. Btu recently states like Texas gerrymandered in an attempt to help Republicans gain more seats.

So in reply, Virginia did the same. MUH BOTH SIDES!!! But....... one critical difference. In Virginia, we VOTED. And it nearly failed. So even when the Dems are fighting back in an attempt to force Republicans to eventually support an end to gerrymandering by gerrymandering themselves, they still put it up to a vote.

The two parties are not the same.

Alas, the Dems are, as a whole, pretty centre-right, but the Republicans are extreme right fascists.

So if you're any sort of progressive, people like AOC and Bernie are rare lights in a very very dark place. But while there are shadows in the Democrat party, the Republicans are down the street, around the corner, at the back of a very very deep cave.

All that said, think what you wish to think. But really, they are not the same. But we do have very very very deep problems that do affect both parties. Just not equally.

I mean, isn’t that what conservatives always do? Every horrible remark they make can always be taken back as “just a joke”. It’s like floating a weather balloon to gauge public reaction.

Come to zip, the only time they announced a defederation recently was due to a lemmy bug and it was hexbear so nothing really lost.

Once an instance get's trigger happy with defederation, I delete my account and move to another instance. Threadiverse is still in the wild west stage, eventually this will all settle down.

The link is wrong yptb is on dbzer0

Kaplan has come out and said so in this thread, denying being a zionist. The problem is from his perspective here are two things:

1. People like Luminous just won't believe him anyway. They tend to attribute zionist to a lot of people.

2. Kaplan doesn't like any kind of rhetoric like that, full stop.

Because they're on world

Kaplan is threatening to nuke one instance and, in response, will manage to have lemmy.world effectively embargoed to death.

Sounds like a win for everyone honestly

I got bored. Would have more but kept it mostly to world and news comms 😂.

They like drama but can't handle it

In this case his actions speak volumes louder than his words.

Also seems bad rimu is emulating Kaplan here

Probably would have immediately lost your admin and Jordanlund would be reinstated though

Pass it over!

I have reported youre brigade community !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com to the admins

incredible ben shapiro energy
