Hi I'm Tim.

I'm AuDHD - officially diagnosed ADHD and self-diagnosed (for now) with ASD. I also suffer from a great deal of Imposter Syndrome.

  • You implied that my anti-Nazi comment from a different post was somehow a negative, thus making this thread about Nazis/fascism. It was a poor example of what I think you wanted to convey in terms of how you see political discourse on Lemmy.

    You also for some reason see Nazis the same as people that disagree or down vote you about browser choice. That seems like a giant leap, and conflating the two is painting Lemmy with a broad brush. They are two wildly different issues and deserve different discussions as to why.

    And my original comment came from someone that just stated that Fediverse was worse than the Commercial versions that are havens for fascists. And also the fact they track you around the Internet. So I did ask the question, and now you're trying to turn this into some kind of douche wagon rodeo apparently.

  • I took your comment to mean you didn't think we had enough Nazis on Lemmy, to which I will respond hostile towards. If you are anti-Nazi then you should not use the idea of an anti-Nazi comment to illustrate this fake idea of to narrow of political viewpoints on Lemmy.

    Also, debating fascism is a whole different thing than people giving you shit over your choice of browser or Lemmy client. You shouldn't conflate the two.

    What's the MAGA justification for closing the CFPB

  • It's simple. Consumer watch dogs are bad for exploitive profiteering. Musk is dismantling anyone with any oversight of his companies.

    Edit And the reason given for all of it is fraud and bloat, and no evidence supplied and they'll backtrack on every statement.

  • So you are saying Lemmy can't compete because we don't have enough Nazis? Weird take.

    This fallacy that you can have a wide range of viewpoints anymore is dead, and is parroted by folks that miss the days of yelling at people on the Internet. However, Trump has taken his cult far enough Right they are beyond meaningful discussion/debate. You can't debate things that aren't even based in reality, and when you call them on it they dismiss it as hearsay/honest mistake/do your research.

    For example, the media called Musk on his quote of the US sending $50 million worth of condoms to Gaza. His response was nonsense.

    "Some of the things that I say will be incorrect, and should be corrected. So, nobody’s going to bat a thousand. I mean, any – you know, we will make mistakes, but we’ll act quickly to correct any mistakes.”

  • She was always of Mexican heritage, and she was only promoting Mexican heritage. I didn’t know she was American until a number of years ago, when she happened to turn American, and now she wants to be known as American. So I don’t know, is she Mexican or is she American?” the former president said.

  • As long as they get a new RV and unlimited trips I think they would make that trade. They aren't actually there to adjudicate the law, they are there to allow King Don and his gutting of our democracy.

  • True, but this also isn't corporate America that needs to chase users to make the graph go up. New users will come or they won't, I think chasing them is a fool's errand.

  • I would run one if it was worth running, but for me none of them reach the default level let alone exceeds it. But I guess everyone is different, and it's open source so anyone can see all the code and make it look however they want. So I guess we just really need someone that does frontend design and wants to make something better.

    I believe, like I saw mentioned above, that that default theme is also set to change with Lemmy 1.0 release.

  • But this guy is in charge of the FCC, is he making the argument that they are breaking some broadcasting regulation by allowing non-white men in the media? If not, then he needs to look to another organization to make that case for him as staffing is not in his organization's purview.

    And I understand what he is trying to do, it's the exact same racist argument they used to have the Supreme Court rollback affirmative action. It's all white supremacist arguments, just no "white genocide" in writing, just implied.

  • Where is his authority to tell a public business it has to do anything about its hiring practices?

    Trump's EO basically just undoes anything positive, it doesn't make anything new.

    The FCC was established by the Communications Act of 1934 and is charged with regulating interstate and international communications by radio, television, wire, satellite and cable.

    How does hiring practice have anything to do with what the FCC has power over? The government has departments for that, but it's not the FCC.

  • The hypocrisy that goes into all their messaging is just wild. 1. Kill capital police you are a political prisoner. 2. Your property gets raided by the FBI while your not even present (because your own lawyers negotiated the date/time) and you fuel the narrative they were trying to assassinate you.

    And not to mention all the judges and clerks and courthouse staff he has put at risk and still somehow gets this "tough on crime pro police" messaging in the media without even an asterisk.
