Too many to count, but I’ll leave you with one of the least dangerous: woods porn.

When life gives you shmarmle, make shmarmalade.

I’ll preface this with: maybe they still exist to a small extent, but get little support from the recommendation algorithms.

The late Mark Fischer theorized on this.

• In the period between the end of WWII and the start of the neoliberal era (e.g. Thatcher & Reagan), the working class in the capitalist imperial core experienced a period of wealth that never came before and almost definitely will never come again^[1]. This gave people the free time and the freedom to take risks—artistic and otherwise—as never before.

Edit to add, this sequence in Children of Men literally sent shivers down my spine, and must have done so to Fischer as well, because he starts Capitalist Realism with a reference to it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJO0n6kvPRU

Proof of what? The proof of her making baseless accusations are in her comments and in the modlog.

Or are you asking me to prove a negative? That the downvotes are not coming from my thousands of alt accounts?

Or did you still not get my joke, and you think that I’m genuinely accusing you of being a bad faith alt account?

Proof is: it’s a joke. The woman above accused me of downvoting her with my many alt accounts, and this isn’t the first time she’s done it to me. She has no evidence of course, and the mods & admins can trivially see that she’s just shit talking. But I’m the bad faith actor, she says. She’s a troll.

I think you’re wasting your breath at this point. This McCarthyite’s views aren’t going to move an inch, and virtually no one else is going to see this conversation, because this thread is buried under the fold and the post is a day old.

It doesn’t matter that first they came for the communists, or that no one has shed more blood fighting fascists than communists. “Authoritarian” communists are fascists, case closed.

Why thank you, one of my thousands of no good, bad faith alt accounts.

I wouldn’t call this the “average” Lemmy user, but there is a minority of very loud users who make it seem that way at times.

If we want this to be a pleasant place, users need to report them, and mods & admins—who, I cannot stress enough, do this labor for free or at most peanuts—need to deal with them.

What, a Zionist genocidaire giving a performative twenty five hour faux filibuster is not stopping fascism?

The Hungarian Freedom Fighters were [Central Intelligence] Agency sponsored.

Socialist software developers created their own place, Lemmy, because corporate social media told them they did not fit in there.

This unfortunately happens each time Reddit steps on a rake. They tend to come in waves.

A German with a purity fetish… where have I seen that before in the historical record?

Okay, Dr. Psychoanalyst for all the pierced people of the world. Does this include the majority of Western women, who have pierced ears? It’s around 80% of them in the US.

What I’m saying is that Reddit is packed with US government psyop coming from Eglin AFB https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eglin_Air_Force_Base#Department_of_Defense

I disagree. Socialists often tactically partner with liberals on shared goals, despite the risks. Knowing that, when forced to choose, liberals have historically sided with fascists, because fascists will never upend capitalism.

You’ve once again shown your empty accusations and insults, contrary to OP’s advice in this post.

They do not support the alt-right. What are you even talking about? “MAGA communists” almost never show up on Lemmy, and when they do they are quickly shown the door. And Marxist are neither “purists,” “idealists,” nor “utopians,” which you’d know if you’d read any Marxist theory.

Instance admins have pretty good information at their disposal to identify bots.

I have yet to see any instance admin say that there is any significant amount of bots, outside of the occasional spate of spamming. I only see such theories & accusasions come from non-admins, with no accompanying compelling evidence.
