Fair enough, my apologies, that in itself does not prove a genocidal intent. This whole semantic discussion does seem a little useless to me though when there are thousands of people being massacred currently. It only serves to legitimize the actions of Israel.

Did they ever cry or say it wasn't their fault? It seems like an obvious easy way to get banned, I don't see any complaints about it. I don't think calling an asshole an asshole is an unhealthy environment, I would blame the asshole first for being the asshole.
I can't be the only one that more and more sees 'growth' as a disease for a company or institution.
What are people using Reddit for? Why does Lemmy have to continue to grow to be a viable alternative? It needs a certain critical mass but it seems to be at that point at least. The number of new users and daily users went down from the first peak after the Reddit exodus but that's to be expected, what I've heard last is the numbers aren't dropping rapidly but just the usual attrition of the wave of users. From my instance the communities I frequent are more than active enough for me, I'm able to see any news that would be relevant as quickly as any other social media, I can discuss things in communities that feel welcoming to me as a queer socialist that I could hardly find on Reddit.
Am I crazy or did the number of bots and 'new users' ramp up quite a bit around the protest also? Moderation was basically nonexistent, I would see obvious bots and trolls stay around when they would have been banned in no time before. I find it hard to trust any data on Reddit.
I hope you keep posting again sometime, shit will get downvoted for stupid reasons, I don't blame you though I probably would have stopped too because of my shame lol. Even the best poster will have those posts that get hated too.
It's like the camel that was crushed due to a single piece of straw, who knew just one little bit of straw could break a camel's back.
Same, so many of my friends have been the exact people that he was talking about. My family was homeless when I was young, not related to drug-use or any sort of crime, and people like him would still want us to be condemned to that life. It motivates me to fight more than most attitudes. This guy was a business owner, not the 1% or anything, but that dehumanization is so prevalent among the wealthy.
Abolish all countryhood, all countries are imaginary.
I swear 99% of these conspiracy/racist fucks are just selling something, or are unknowingly helping someone else sell something.
"Spooky incompetent father-figure who doesn't give a shit" is a good description, I am now a believer that that is our god.
A little bit, like saying German citizens were responsible for the holocaust for not standing up against the Nazis. They should have but when faced with violent repression you don't necessarily blame them for not doing more. There is widespread knowledge of the military-industrial complex and the global stream of death for profit, but how many people are blocking ports to stop weapons shipments? We can vote for whoever but there is so much more that needs to be done.
