That's not how this works. This will be the last time I ever interact with you.
I won't stoop to your level with insults, I'll just leave you with this: I fly 4 flags at my house: American, pride, Ukraine, and Palestine.
You spend so much time attacking us for some made up thing, when the truth is simple: your unbearable with your constant attack on anybody that doesn't agree with you. I WILL be voting for Harris, because a vote for ANYBODY else is a vote for Trump, and there are MANY more issues I worry about.
- Homeless rights
- Feeding low income families
- LGBTQIA+ rights - I have a trans child, and a gay child
- Ensuring we don't get a dictator
... And on and on.
YOU, for some reason, think it's a simple thing, but it's not.
Goodbye.
Mine wasn't that good, but 70K at 3.1 is much better than things are today.
U.S. housing market is fucked.
Yeah. You're the victim. You break civility rules. There are plenty of pro Palestine people in the community. They just follow the rules.
Normal people apologize when they are called out for insulting others. That's another difference.
At this point, it feels like you believe if you can get people to hate Harris, Jill will magically win.
It's never going to happen. I'm sorry, but that's not how this reality works.
I take it that was a swipe at me.
Sorry you feel that way.
I don't do as much moderation as my co-mods, and that's by design. All our moderators are active and spread across the globe.
I just happen to be the face of the community.
Also, thanks for being civil. You don't want to see the DMs mods got. It was brutal.
I believe it's what they learned growing up on YouTube/social media. Demonetization is why content is censored, but when perceived from a child's eyes, without that context, it can easily be seen as "the norm".
I defended @beaver@lemmy.ca when a comment of theirs was reported.
I was just given context on this. Looking at their comments in that light, I have decided to ban them from !unpopularopinion@lemmy.world for all their bad faith arguments. Banning people for "bad faith" voting is bullshit. Coming here to defend that horrible action will not be tolerated.
I've never cooked tofu myself. The one good meal I had, I had been eating for 6 months before realizing it was tofu! It was great. Sadly, I moved from South Texas to the north, and cannot find a place that can prepare tofu I can stomach.
admins of other instances can see who voted, and what they voted. You can easily build a self-hosted copy so you're an admin, federate with Lemmy.world, and see who is voting on a post/comment.
Mods cannot see who votes on a post/comment, so this is the only way.
I don't know why, but tofu makes me ill. I've tried it made differently, and in all but one case, my stomach and it didn't agree.
One Thai restaurant had a great tofu that I was able to eat, but that's been the only one, and it's over 1000 miles to get more.

This has been reported. I may not agree with all they say, but I do agree on following the rules. This is why I don't engage with the vegan community.
This has been reported as homophobic. This means people have a reading comprehension issue. They were obviously stating one party is homophobic.
As you have complained about someone else responding to your comments in this thread, I require that you stop. There's no way that I'll allow you to request someone be silenced without you being quiet as well.
As this was reported as mod abuse, I retract the statement. I also have restored the other person's comment.
sadly, you're wrong in this instance.
The mission made up of Ms. Patten and nine experts – which was not investigative in nature –...
(emphasis in original news brief).
According to the actual report:
The present report is submitted to the United Nations Secretary-General pursuant to the mandate of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict (SRSG-SVC), outlined by the Security Council in resolutions 1888 (2009), 1960 (2010), 2106 (2013), 2331 (2016), and 2467 (2019). This report contains the findings of the mission of Special Representative, Ms. Pramila Patten to Israel
(emphasis added)
So, she wasn't a no-name 3rd party, but wasn't an investigative envoy.
I'm feeling good. Sadly, for both sides. Harris is the better speaker, but MAGA will only listen to Trump's lies

The news mod team has asked to no longer be a part of the project until we have a composite tool that polls multiple sources for a more balanced view.
It will take a few hours, but FOR NOW there won't be a bot giving reviews of the source.
The goal was simple: make it easier to show biased sources. This was to give you and the mods a better view of what we were looking at.
The mod team is in agreement: one source of truth isn't enough. We are working on a tool to give a composite score, from multiple sources, all open source.

Are there any native apps with good mod tools?
Started as a shower thought (literally in the shower), but decided to make it more open-ended.
My answer to this would be "watch future seasons of anime that I am waiting on".
I don't see how that could cause a huge ripple through time.
WHAT
- Former U.S. President Donald J. Trump was shot at a rally in PA. ---
TRUMPS STATEMENT
>“I want to thank The United States Secret Service, and all of Law Enforcement, for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in Butler, Pennsylvania. Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the Rally who was killed, and also to the family of another person that was badly injured. It is incredible that such an act can take place in our Country. Nothing is known at this time about the shooter, who is now dead. I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening. GOD BLESS AMERICA!”
WHAT WE THINK WE KNOW SO FAR
- gunman is dead
- Trump "is fine"
- one attendee is dead
- another attendee is in critical condition ---

Hello fellow Lemmys. The mod team here at !news@lemmy.world has been in discussions about the best approach to ensure we stay unbiased with news during the U.S. Election Cycle.
While we can't say "don't point out flaws in candidates" - nor would we want to - we do believe that when you excessively post/comment/reply negative things in News about one person, instead of, say mixing it up about topics, this feels like you are using !news@lemmy.world as a propaganda machine.
While propaganda is a normal part of elections, by posting only one topic, about one person, you are abusing the NEWS community for politics, and this could even be seen as election interference. There are other communities that this would fit better.
Doing this will result in posts/comments being deleted (with the option to appeal, of course). Repeat offenders may see temporary bans. Keep doing after that, and you may reach our perma-ban list.
As of right now, this only apples to politics. We don't plan to extend this to other areas, but that will change as needed.
Former President Donald Trump's campaign and businesses have provided "significant financial benefits" to nine of the witnesses in his criminal cases, ProPublica reported Monday morning -- shrugging off a threatening cease-and-desist letter sent by Trump's attorney.
Former President Donald Trump's campaign and businesses have provided "Significant financial benefits" to nine of the witnesses in his criminal cases, ProPublica reported Monday morning - shrugging off a threatening cease-and-desist letter sent by Trump's attorney.
The detailed report by ProPublica's Robert Faturechi, Justin Elliott, and Alex Mierjeski describes how nine individuals who have been named as witnesses received benefits that included "Large raises from his campaign, severance packages, new jobs, and a grant of shares and cash from Trump's media company" from Trump's various campaign committees and businesses.
These benefits "Often came at delicate moments in the legal proceedings against Trump," said the report, highlighting one example of Trump aide Dan Scavino, who was given a "Plum position on the board of Trump's social media company, for example, got the seat after he was subpoenaed but before he testified." Other well-known names in Trump's circle mentioned in the article include campaign adviser Boris Epshteyn, campaign head Susie Wiles, lawyer Evan Corcoran, and former Trump Org CFO Allen Weisselberg.
Salary increases, bonuses, promotions, and other benefits, can be evidence of witness tampering, the ProPublica article explained, if prosecutors can show that these employment changes occurred separate from normal business operations and the "Perks or punishments were intended to influence testimony." Even if no new charges are brought against the former president who is now a convicted felon, the details of these benefits could be used by prosecutors in Trump's still-pending cases to "Undermine the credibility" of these witnesses if the defense calls them to provide testimony helpful to Trump.
The Trump Org and various campaign entities have, of course, denied that any wrongdoing took place, and denied that Trump had knowledge or direct involvement in compensation issues.
One former aide compared working for the Trump Organization, his large company, to "a small family business" where every employee "In some sense reports to Mr. Trump." Former aides have said Trump demands unwavering loyalty from subordinates, even when their duties require independence Trump's former campaign manager and former campaign adviser were convicted on federal witness tampering charges in 2018 and 2019.
Trump posted on social media that he had read about a Georgia politician who "Will be testifying before the Fulton County Grand Jury. He shouldn't." One witness has said publicly that, when he quit working for Trump in the midst of the classified documents criminal investigation, he was offered golf tournament tickets, a lawyer paid for by Trump and a new job that would have come with a raise.
As this community continues to grow, we are noticing periods of time that moderation isn't as responsive, due to most of the moderators being asleep at that time. If you want to help us, and live in Asia/Asia Pacific/Australia/New Zealand area, please comment here that you're interested, why you think you'd be a good fit for the team, and anything you'd change if you were picked.
With a fresh crew of moderators, we are now ready to hear your opinions once more!
