The first 6-12 months here (during/right after the Reddit API drama) were great. After that…not so much.

      Same, but kind of sucky sharing a perimeter with authoritarians and the worst kind of anarchists. If Lemmy were a physical location and not an online space I’d be sleeping fully armed.

        I don’t mind reading their points of view. I block people that cross lines but overall I appreciate different viewpoints.

          I feel like “the people who represent your views are lying to you, murder all your government officials and open the ports for invasion” isn’t really a point of view worth respecting, but I never block anybody for any reason.

            Ports old and new are the key. If you leave random ports open, hackers walk right in. Once inside, they pay Rogan to get him talking about like idk guys we can’t hate cold water ports 'afore giving them a chance, ya know? Me no smart so I just don’t know. My guest today, the lovely, blonde, independent journalist Ivanna Holodomor says that…

          Now imagine yourself saying that in the 1930s. They still know how to slip a prybar into the door you open just a crack.

            I mean 1930s, those “authoritarians” were the number one enemy of the fascists, trying to ally with literally anyone who would oppose them instead of giving them Czechslovakia abroad and fighting them in the streets at home.
