I feel like I’m mostly responsible for that, and I’m making an effort not to be so rude and aggressive.
We have several active members who are planning to vote Biden, and we’ve had at least two posts about it. I’ve often encouraged users to make a post about why they’re voting for Biden, but they’ve almost always declined, which tells me they may have just intended to argue in the comments. As long as these posts don’t defend the current system and are sensitive to the feelings of people who have lost loved ones to Biden’s policies and actions, this has always been allowed and even welcomed.
It’s a community for leftists though, so it should come from a leftist perspective. Managing a community like this is hard, because it by definition will exclude groups hostile to basic leftist theory, such as fascists, conservatives, and liberals. That’s really the intent of the community – I saw a need for a space where we’re not constantly put on the defensive.
Is this how lutefisk was invented?
Thank you for confirming this. I don’t use matrix so I didn’t know.
I noticed months ago that transphobic comments were being tolerated in communities on lemmy.world, which was one of several things that disillusioned me of the instance. Unfortunately I didn’t take screenshots, so I can’t recall exactly which communities I saw such comments, and I’d really hate to speculate. The comments I saw left up were the usual TERFy hot takes about women’s sports.
Reports go directly to the community moderators, and you can find that list in the sidebar aka under “community info.”
Reports may also go directly to admins, but I’m not sure. If you have an instance level concern, it’s probably best to contact an admin.
Ok

It’s made of horse ashes. I’d think it would melt in your mouth and taste bitter.
They probably thought it was stale dark chocolate
Or maybe this is made up
No, Valve and GabeN can go fuck themselves if they’re willing to tolerate this.
The government doesn’t want you to know about this one simple trick

I feel stress when my family members call or text me at work, and it feels a lot more cathartic and validating to me to listen to something aggressive like hardcore music as opposed to calm corporate-friendly music. I can’t imagine this doing anything but escalate my stress levels, but I understand it might be different for others.
I applaud the effort!
Weed is dirt cheap compared to therapy and prescriptions though, and much safer than heroin
