Have you seen how heavily he’s being astroturfed since about 6 to 9 months ago? It’s practically guaranteed at this point.

And this is why the Democrat Party will continue losing elections when it really counts. He is 1000% more of the same of what got us Donald Motherfucking Trump not once but twice.

Quantity over quality, right?

…wait a minute 🤔

Not if you move to a better instance and block .world. There are plenty of far better communities to subscribe to.

At some point it’s 100% valid to throw up one’s hands, block all of .world, and move on.

The threadiverse with a .world-sized hole in it is plenty active with lots of things to read and talk about. As a bonus, you also have fewer irritating interactions with people who haven’t detoxed from corporate social media. After I blocked .world, the average quality of my random interactions noticeably increased.

It’s unfortunate that so many noobs land there, but it is what it is … they either figure it out (thru exposure to threads like this) and switch instances eventually, or they don’t. Either way, the ones who do eventually filter out onto smaller instances arrive with a better understanding of (and appreciation for) how a federated threaded discussion board system functions in practice.

Blocking .world and putting our collective energy into communities elsewhere is the only real option. I took the plunge months ago and I have plenty of stuff to read and plenty of people to chat with. It just wasn’t worth it to me to continue tolerating the vexatious stupidity and poor behavior just for a handful of communities that weren’t yet (at the time) duplicated elsewhere.

Every time anyone from outside .world participates in a .world community, they are helping to entrench the bullshit. We need to be doing the opposite.

The solution is the same now as it was a year ago: stop participating in .world communities and start contributing your energy to the equivalent communities elsewhere. The entire point of federated threaded discussion boards is to be able to route around damage (or dipshits).

.world is the reddit of the threadiverse

[Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu welcomed the decision, saying that “the state of Israel must pursue its enemies, not its heroic fighters.”

The now-dismissed indictment against the soldiers accused them of an assault that included dragging a Palestinian prisoner along the floor, stepping on him, tasering him, and sexually assaulting him by stabbing him in the rectum. The Palestinian was taken to an Israeli hospital with fractured ribs and a perforated rectum that required surgery before he was returned to the prison.

The allegations of abuse at the facility gained steam when, in August 2024, Israeli news broadcast a leaked video of the alleged assault.

Israel’s military on Thursday said it was dropping charges against five soldiers accused of beating and sexually abusing a Palestinian detainee in an alleged assault partially caught on camera.

Have you not figured out yet that a big part of the problem is that you made your account on .world?

Correct: it’s a shitlib instance populated by spiritual “le epic bacon” redditors.

Correct: OP’s mistake was in engaging with a community on .world in the first place.

I mean it’s .world, what do you expect

There might be something to this idea that societies founded on genocide, slavery, etc are sick at the core, which raises uncomfy questions about America, Israel’s biggest enabler.

Israeli society is unrecoverable at this point.

I can’t wait until Lemmy 1.x drops and I no longer have to read comments from those users.

Yeah, I’m housing and food insecure and stuck living in an environment which decimates my ability to work due to sensory issues. It is fucking brutal.
