Right, but as you had explained ages ago by this point it isn’t going to be “unmoderated”. So pack it in.
As much as they’ve been obnoxious recently, I don’t have a problem with conservatives having a space here so I don’t think they would/should be deleted unless more of this sort of content continues.

You insist on not being a nazi yet nazi content and mods that facilitated it being banned sure seems like the hill you’re hellbent on trying to die on.
- Comment on Too many young people find doing a day's work 'stressful', says Liz Kendall 2 weeks ago:
Exactly, I know the type because I’m related to similar. Looks down on such work, would never do such work but everyone else is lazy because they won’t do it. Classic.
- Comment on Too many young people find doing a day's work 'stressful', says Liz Kendall 2 weeks ago:
I don’t know the career of this particularly woman but a politician ragging on the work ethic of anyone is hilarious.
What statistic is she basing this on, any or just her feelings? Just go work at a grocery store? Maybe she should ask these “managers” who’s she’s basing this opinion on what their turn around on employees is, what their wages and guaranteed hours are. The opinion of managers on the work ethic of anyone means less than shit to me having met at least one manager in my life and having work retail/hospo before.
Pretty easy to advocate for “young” people to go work shitkicker jobs in retail and hospo when you sit at a desk in air con all day for a living. I know if I lost my current career I sure as fuck won’t go back.
- Comment on Reddit Sub Ban Wave 2 weeks ago:
Didn’t go back to reddit and am not trans but I just wanted say, otherwise your journey has been exactly the same as mine! From Kbin to lemm.ee and RIP apollo indeed. There’s a lot of trans friendly comms and instances in general. 196 may be a familiar name and the blahaj instance in general seems trans friendly. Depends on what type of comms you’re looking for. Check out voyager if you haven’t already, very reminiscent of Apollo. Welcome back.
- Comment on SA Police arrest man for allegedly displaying Nazi symbol as two neo-Nazis granted bail 3 weeks ago:
The faces in the photo are blurred, I assume this was done by the ABC since they included the picture in their article.
- Comment on SA Police arrest man for allegedly displaying Nazi symbol as two neo-Nazis granted bail 3 weeks ago:
Probably shitty to say but I think if you’re willing to stand around in public as part of a nazi display you shouldn’t get your face blurred by the press.

If you can’t find one googling with those extension I would just go without as opposed to given either of those cesspools traffic. eldenring.wiki.gg/wiki/Staff_of_the_Avatar
- Comment on The amount of ads cycling on Fextralife 3 weeks ago:
Fandom is garbage and if you make the mistake of using in on mobile is borderline unusable because of ads.
Here’s an extension to find wikis and avoid fextra/fandom garbage. getindie.wiki

Hard disagree. If my father was a piece of shit like this I would definitely want to know. Keeping silent just allows the father skirt responsibility. It’s 100% OP choice though obviously.

Right, still might be an idea to restrict screen time. Also might be an idea to talk about boundaries. Can’t be expected to be at you best parenting if your being woken up all hours of the morning. Tell him Elon will steal his eyeballs.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
If your kid is young enough to ask to sleep in your room they probably shouldn’t have a phone. Or least set parental restrictions to stop usage at 2:30 in the morning imo.
- Comment on What is the best post sort for Lemmy? 4 weeks ago:
For that comm I could see users downvoting it for a lot of the post being negative/rants but yeah it does happen when it isn’t deserved unfortunately. I just don’t think banning should be a knee jerk response as other mods have done.
- Comment on What is the best post sort for Lemmy? 4 weeks ago:
I would be surprised if they haven’t automated it at this point. I’ve been meaning to post about it since it’s reeks of vote manipulation to me but I’ll give it some more time first.
- Comment on What is the best post sort for Lemmy? 4 weeks ago:
Their justification is you’re not a participant in the community, yet you’re voting. Of course theres 0 reflection on the content coming out of their subs and it has no weight the in decision.
For brigading I can understand but a couple of mods have a very low bar for it. One banned me recently because of it. Likely because two low effort post made it to all in a short window from a meat base comm. I’ve downvoted vegan post more often back in the early days and they dgaf.
- Comment on What is the best post sort for Lemmy? 4 weeks ago:
This is how I do it but be aware voting through this method leads to shitty mods banning you under the pretence of drive by voting. Doesn’t stop me but just FYI.
- Comment on Video game publishers are starting to use "anti-DEI" as a marketing meme 4 weeks ago:
Neat! I didn’t see that, I’ll give them a read.
It’s like OSHA laws. Every rule for these programs has a great misfortune behind it.
A very succinct way of phrasing it. Cheers for that and for posting the studies.
- Comment on Video game publishers are starting to use "anti-DEI" as a marketing meme 4 weeks ago:
Hell yeah, thanks a lot for taking the time to spoon food my ignorant butt. Very informative reply, thank you. I guess a reply would be “that can be done without DEI” but then that just circle back to your no one is colourblind remark. If google wasn’t diverse organically without DEI I don’t have much optimism other corporations would be.
- Comment on Video game publishers are starting to use "anti-DEI" as a marketing meme 4 weeks ago:
I guess I was hoping for something a bit more rigorous but still your reply makes sense. Thanks for the input.
- Comment on Video game publishers are starting to use "anti-DEI" as a marketing meme 4 weeks ago:
As much as I don’t care for DEI as a guiding “doctrine” for hiring, I also think companies shouldn’t be anti-diversity by law. Like intentionally hiring people because they aren’t white, no (and feels like tokenism/racism) but also intentionally hiring only whites (or the majority race) is a bigger no. Especially if more qualified candidates are being passed over solely because their PoC. Also companies should be inclusive so as to not be shit companies in general? Can someone tell me why my take is dumb or poorly thought out?

That’s my assumption as well but haven’t seen this one get much attention thus far.

Sorry to hear it mate. I’m glad you have positive memories to look at to remember them by. Hope you’re doing alright and thanks for sharing.
- Comment on Police issue warning after cyclists hit wire strung across Southern Expressway bike path 5 weeks ago:
Ahh fair enough, it was probably a motorway I was pulled over on.
More ironic punishment as the people I know irl who hate bike riders with fervour are large Ute driving bogans. So the mental image of them losing a license for fucking with people they view as “taking up the road” (despite bike paths) was too hard to pass up. Though you’re right, it’s insufficient for what could be a life endangering injury.
- Comment on Police issue warning after cyclists hit wire strung across Southern Expressway bike path 5 weeks ago:
Are there not cameras all along these expressways? In Brisbane I was pulled over on a motorway/expressway to report a hazard to whatever 13-xx number it was and the operator was able to locate me in seconds on camera. Should strip the license of any of these chucklefucks when they get caught. I should pull my bike out of storage and start cycling more now I think of it.
- Comment on Should we be worried that my joke from 5 years ago has been relevant at any given time for the past 5 years? 1 month ago:
Why does this read as passively blaming Australians for modern day California wildfires?? Also fyi (it’s a paragraph or two so I’ll put it in a spoiler) it was and still is a California problem.
Tap for spoiler
The eucalyptus goes to California: Following its spread throughout Europe, northern Africa, India, and South America, settlers in California became increasingly interested in the eucalyptus. Not only was eucalyptus a fascinating novelty, but the California Gold Rush of the late 1840s and early 1850s created high demand for wood for constructing buildings and for fuel. Deforestation had become a serious concern, so much so that the California Tree Culture Act of 1868 was created to encourage people to plant more trees, particularly along roads. Many entrepreneurs rushed to capitalize on the situation. Ellwood Cooper’s role in spreading eucalyptus: Ellwood Cooper, educator, entrepreneur, and one of the key individuals who helped the eucalyptus take off in California, is a local legend here in Santa Barbara

“QPS with PT” 8pm
Assuming that means what I think it means I’m going to have to remember to refrain from asking my paramedic mates how work is going. One of them told me her tales about some music festival she worked at. We’re lucky to have such patient professionals that’s for sure.
- Comment on Feeble defence from ABC confirms abject failure to report Labor accurately 1 month ago:
Nah they forget they’re the left of centre party and are handing a win to libs because of it.
- Outlawed vapes
- Legalised vapes again but now you need a prescription and can only buy from pharmacies (gotta wring them tax dollars)
- Snuck in change to TGA to also outlaw dry herbs vapes and schedule cannabis on the same level as morphine
- Have done fuck all about housing or inflation
- During a cost of living crisis, Centrelink (welfare) is still unliveable
- Focused making NDIS more “financially stable”
- Went ahead with a costly referendum that trashed relations with indigenous Australian
- The under 16 ban for social media (while I agree with it) was poorly planned, rushed and handed Libs easy sound bites
Feels like labour is now lib lite, pissing off their own voters as well as lib voters for not doing enough.
