(there are a lot of things that he can do that SCOTUS has preemptively granted him immunity for, though…)

Biden is actually in the trolley problem. He can either save many and go to hell (he’s Catholic) or he can let the many die. I don’t envy him.

Survive the night my fellow Lemmies.

First of all, it’s not your fault. There already is a lot of people on Lemmy trying to blame ourselves for what happened while the R’s are legally cheating every which way you turn. We probably don’t even know the half of it. It’s not our fault, the end. If you voted for Harris, you did well.

Also, stop looking at the big picture and take care of your family and friends while sticking together. Us being in distress is good for them to make democracy end that much easier. Take care of yourself and family, the government will not. I mean it, support each other.

If people are being shitty and wanting us to fight inwards, ignore it, downvote it, and move on. Don’t fall for the trap.

Accept that half of our voting population doesn’t care about anyone but themselves. Those people, just ignore them. Let them whine and cry when they get shit on too. Keep all of that energy for yourself and the people who you need to support and protect.

You’re going to have to consider this a hostile takeover from the far-right, white nationalists, *billionaires, Russia and China. Buckle up.

The republican party and adjacent is mostly white nationalists, what would make you think that they would switch to voting for a Jewish person? He would have unfortunately lost.

So they picked the worst possible option? That doesn’t even make sense. I doubt he would have won either at the time, even if he wasn’t sabotaged. Do you think the RNC wouldn’t have gone after him worse?

If you haven’t seen the documentary by his daughter Rashida Jones on Netflix, go watch it. I had no idea how much he was part of American culture.

I hope it works out, this is sorely needed.

Sorry man, that sounds like a you thing. If someone is trolling you, you commenting back is the worst thing you can do. Just state your facts (to give the counterbalance) once and then walk away. If you’re replying and explaining, they’re winning.

Maybe you’re not using Lemmy correctly? I would suggest looking at hot, 6 hour, 12 hour, and subscribed in that order. Blocking communities that drive you crazy would also probably really benefit you.

The internet has that problem, but Lemmy is the best at combating that stuff I’ve seen so far.

This is great and what I was hoping the Fediverse would turn into.

I was just one person with an idea; an international village adopted it and helped it, making its message go wide.

I want to do this again, but with the Fediverse.

I could start with a 40 minute visual presentation for schools and organizations, demo it, and see where things go. The cool thing is that I’m fully fluent in English, Italian and French so I could do these presentations in 3 languages – wherever people would welcome me.

It’s not going to be easy. But it’s definitely going to be worth it.

I don’t know, Bloomer Blimpson would be a good alternative too. Maybe Blisa Blimpson?

Exaxtly that, I just don’t have the bandwidth.

Thanks, I didn’t realize that worked here. But I meant tagging a user as awesome or a troll or whatever. That way, when you kind of remember seeing the name and they seem like they’re trolling, I can tell right away if I’ve had previous interactions with them. RES was awesome for that.

That was years ago. I’m sure I saved it on reddit, but I haven’t been back there since I switched. Sorry about that. It was a real study though, they were trying to figure out all of he social media trolling from Cambridge Analytica and all that. It might have been even earlier.

Yes, that and the tagging of users.

They did a study around the 2020 elections and have found the following to work with trolls:

Respond once with the facts (if you must), and then walk away. I have found Lemmy not needing that most of the time, just downvoting seems to work. But if you’re on the place that shall not be named, this works.

I swear this is relevant:

TikTok - SNL

Barak Ravid, an ex-Israeli spy turned Washington journalist, play a key role in shaping media coverage…

Does he?
