  • Could you expand on the gun part like what encourages you to go that route? No judgement in either direction. I’m interested because my concern that I would need to be armed stemmed more from if he lost. Since he would have gotten up there and told his base it was cheating and tried to mobilize them towards violence.

    I don’t anticipate that kind of violent behavior from the other side, so just curious on your perspective.












  • Welcome to Lemmy. I get where you’re coming from. I run a business and I have had to ask straight and gay couples to tone down their PDA. Sometimes they respond poorly and I have had them downplay what they were doing as if I wasn’t just watching it… Unfortunately letting that kind of thing slide negatively impacts how other customer view my business. I can’t have people groping each other when a family walks in.

    To the point of the people not comprehending the full scope of what you’re saying, obviously this situation got violent and that’s uncalled for. Straight or gay violence isn’t the answer.


  • Came here to say this, but shorter. Imagine my surprise to see “Positivity” first word in the top comment. I know we don’t all agree on everything, but the vibe on Lemmy (for me at least) seems to be share our views or shut up.

    The other thing is how political everything seems to get. Even outside of political communities you see it seaping into the comments. I might be remembering wrong, but reddit didn’t seem to have that issue (as much). If you weren’t in a politically orriented community the mods kept that kinda talk out.

    All that being said, I’m sticking with Lemmy. I don’t hace any desire to go back to reddit even as a lurker. I hope lemmy gets nicer as more people join. I’ve embraced being downvoted. I will try to love communism and linux to a greater degree than I already do.



  • Not really agreeing or disagreeing with any of this, but I feel compelled to say I was interested in GME this time around based on what Mr. Gill stated about them now having a pile of cash on hand. Sounds like a good place to be with some potential. So I figured that was the case last time too right? I didn’t really follow GME the last time this stuff went down. Makes sense they would have ended up sitting on a pile of cash then. Went back and saw how they ended up using THAT cash and waaasss not impressed. To each their own but I think that two billion is going in the toilet.
