Right wingers when someone left of centre appears: I don’t think you’re right but you make valid points on xyz

I wish I lived in your fantasy world.

You can’t complain about how splintered the political landscape is without ditching the “us vs them” mentality and finding common ground

Watch me. Right wingers have been taking steps backwards every time a compromise is made with them for as long as I can remember. The only common ground remaining is that we’re all mortal.

Hard agree. I used to think he was just strictly a dick, but his introspection and growth shows he’s really honestly been thinking about things with as much empathy as he can muster.

Tough talk from a UK instance chud named “free opinions” who hides behind phrases like “rational argument” and “unpopular opinions” to say heinous shit.

This is a freshman CS/IT major’s attempt at humor. Most of us learn and grow out of it and/or get the memes right, but Elon isn’t smart and isn’t actually capable of understanding how stupid this looks

Or we could just be subjective and use our judgement when it comes to those things.

How is that opinion compatible with forcing community mods to validate & allow misinformation and trolling?

“Elon Musk said…”

You could lie about Joe Rogan to Joe Rogan’s face. He’ll even nod his empty bald little head while you do it before taking another toke and injecting ivermectin into his eyeballs or something

It’s more that this change might allow that to stay or be non-reportable depending on the mod. It lends that form of content the air of legitimacy, even if refuted. They would likely cite this rule change if asked to stop. And it’s just exhausting to have to see that. Maybe, in an ideal implementation, this won’t cover that kind of lead and this form of harassment disguised as ignorance will still be removed. I’m just not that hopeful…

I appreciate that. This rule change in the face of what Meta is doing on Facebook has me wildly on edge.

Cool, totally looking forward to having to “debate” people that my identity isn’t mental illness. Sure am happy I get to dust off my refutation of that “occasionally”. You can say what you want, as long as you word it right. Just be inquisitive! I can see the “toilets” now: “Oh gee whiz mister, I sure do not understand why you think you’re a lady. I heard it was a mental illness. Can you explain it to me? I pwomise to respect you and leave my anecdotes out.”

EDIT: There’s someone replying to this from lemm.ee whose replies I cannot see because my instance banned them for transphobia. To that person: I’m pretty much referencing you.
