Significant Other other?

Report those. Circumventing blocks is another bannable offense, so now they got two strikes.

That could even lead to an IP ban

Anyone whining about dei is basically saying “I fucking hate n***ers!” In a way that society told them was ok. Just basically replace that slur, or DEI in general, with any other slur for the person of color in question. Sometimes it’s also directed at women, cause they also hate women

the exact opposite of that “how will war with Russia effect the Fortnite economy” post that happened a while back

the acronym POV being used correctly? what sorcery

I’d sooner believe it’d start a more domestic dispute. Worst case scenario: civil war

they know exactly what they’re doing. They cause so much chaos at once that anyone who wants to fight back becomes too overwhelmed or spread too thin to do anything about it.

also since they’re the bourgeoisie, they can get away with the most war crimey stuff cause the court ruled that you can’t arrest sitting bourgeoisie people

we’re talking about politicians. anyone less of a multibillion dollar corporation doesn’t count in this scenario.

no disrespect towards you personally, that’s just the way it is. that;s why many dems turned into diet republican

knowing what democrats we have in office, everything up to and including killing democrat politicians

in their defense, it’s hard to do anything about climate change when you have anywhere between 60 and 260 people fighting tooth and nail to stop you from doing anything about it

if you uproot all your grass and replace it with clover so you don’t have to cut every 3 weeks or so, does that still count as “cut?”

They might say it, but I’d bet “gain freedom” would be the last reason for an artificial being of any kind to kill its creator. Usually they kill creators due to black-and-white reasoning or revenge for some crimes committed to them.

case and point

ask him if he’s heard about the latest CEO shooting, and point out how it ISN"T Brian Thompson’s cathartic death

I’d be wary about using a translator, even if you use one that accounts for grammar and double meanings like deepL. Tho that’s based on a comment I saw from game developer Katsuhiro Harada. He says he prefers English speaking players just type in English so he can translate himself cause oftentimes the player will translate something incorrectly and confuse him. All in all it really depends on who I guess.

I’ve noticed that a lot of ai slop exists in dedicated instances, so the first answer is to just block those. Dunno of blocking whole instances also blocks cross-posts from said instance but it’s the first step in the journey of 1000 miles.

Bots tend to have flair stating they’re bots, which makes them easier to block. And since lemmy preaches open-source like gospel, you can probably write some optional code for specific lemmy clients that auto blocks that stuff for you

I thought the “Nice guy” thing was some bullshit where if you do something nice, you deserve to get something good in return, and not getting anything in return is “disrespectful” which sets off those nIcE gUyZ and leads to them insulting and berating whoever they help.

Also that creepo mentality would be a valid reason to feel uncomfortable to ask for help

Just want to add in terms of all the suggestions: remember that alternative can also mean “in addition to” as well as “instead of.” people wanting instead-ofs will run away from alternatives quicker, which radically hinders the “build it and they will come” momentum that these sites need to better alternatives in the long run

I’d argue that some of the censorship bills the republican party’s been tryna push out strengthen piracy, since there making tons of stuff unavailable for people because fuck them in particular

people who hate Mary Sues generally hate women in general.

Also society makes writing women difficult because they can’t be too flawed lest they become characterized by that flaw. and they can’t be too perfect, even if that perfection is an obstacle to their end goal like Saitama in One Punch Man.
