Yes in my opinion which is why they’re turned off on the instance I use.
Downvotes on lemmy are pure spam. Good instances block them.
Where is Robespierre when you need him
If the entire world comes up to the Americans and their stupid election then we’re all already fucked.
It is hilarious that you think that voting for one of two fascists is stopping fascism. It’s sad that you believe Americans are actually participants in their government and not victims of it.
Fascists do not care about democracy or voting. You cannot stop a fascist with an election. Just look to history for examples, Hitler never won an election. Neither did Mussolini. They both seized power in a crisis. Why is this important? Because even if the American election was real and not rigged (of which it is) the fascists will push the country to a crisis and take power anyway.
There is only one way out of this for the Americans and they are refusing to take it seriously or act. It isn’t voting. I hope they can choose non violence and this looks like calling for a constitutional convention to start, the actual structure of their government is fundamentally broken and cannot be fixed with its own processes by design. .
The Americans will not choose this though, they are a damaged and deeply violent society who prefer death over life and will make the wrong choice and the entire world will suffer.
Choose your Hitler pleb, oh by the way we fixed all the districts ahead of time to ensure our results anyway.
The commenter says as he repeats other propaganda.
The US is not and has never been a democracy. The US is an oligarchy.

All of lemmy.world which is now blocked on my instance.
Not really, we do Día de los Muertos where I live which is the day after. Halloween is celebrated here and it’s kind of become a week long event but it’s for children.
Yet despite all this, because American elections are rigged and follow a nonsensical, non democratic system; he is favored to win by over 20 points. lol what a shithole country.
Sears cancelled its catalog the year Amazon launched. Funny coincidence.
We have no way of knowing don’t is best to be on the safe side. Veganism isn’t about awareness it’s about respect.
I use a five dollar one from AliExpress
Wow! I wish I was there!
Seeding is different than downloading though and the seed box service is in another jurisdiction doing that where it is legal. I only connect to a proxy up with ssh and download data to my actual home, never upload. As far as my jurisdiction is concerned I haven’t seeded anything, just downloaded encrypted data from a datacenter ip.
I live in latam so my government isn’t enforcing pretty much anything though.
And has your call outs and drama ever worked? No. It never works. You still had to do what did work. All that was produced was more toxic and counterproductive bullshit.
What would work is moving to a different instance with a different identity or better yet launching your own instance.
The problem with mods and admins is that the ownership isn’t widely distributed across the users enabling that dynamic in the first place. This is non commercial human scale social media which means that it is run by people. If you don’t like it or them you must run your own.
Put up or shut up
We don’t need people calling anyone out, we need people to invest in new instances and actually post content. Lemmy is censorship proof so nothing is being accomplished with this nonsense that is worth while. Even the idea that people are power tripping, just block them. It is their server they’re paying for, don’t use it or federate them. All this does is create drama and harass instance admins or in the case of lemmy.ca harasses regular users and makes this overall less enjoyable. It’s a toxic and immature behavior that is best left on Reddit.
I very strongly disagree and defederate their server and their spam users for that reason. That only exists to harass and troll people and should not be tolerated. After some shitbag posted about me there I had waves of trolls go to my discord servers. The posts there are all extremely petty and it should be deleted.
We’ve done nothing and we’re all out of ideas!
