MODERATORS
I see more posts about "have you seen this or that in lemmy recently" or "lemmy is worse than reddit" posts more often than these supposed trolls. Sure they exist but all of the time they are down voted or deleted.
There is also someone saying in the comments that criticizing biden is a foreign conspiracy. Some of these Americans just look like a reflection of the right but call themselves left. I'm not American so I face no real threat(as far as I'm aware) regardless of who gets elected there. So I just think you can criticize "both sides" people without making your leader look immortal
Is there any proof to your hypothesise or is this just fear mongering?
What are you on about? We live in a global society, of which the US is a pretty influential part and also happen to have a very significant military.
If Trump wins and does everything he's been going on about, it'll definitely influence the rest of the world, however indirectly. And it will directly influence a lot.
Yes, it will affect Americans the most, but to pretend that it won't affect the rest of the world is naive.
I think you got lost in the same argument lemmy users get lost in. Go read my first comment again and see how I say I'm not American just to let others know I'm not very biased. I also mention as far as I know along with direct impact.
My whole point was about being able to criticize biden but guess what we are back to Trump bad discussion which no one is disagreeing with. There's a lot bigger threats while I live than trump or biden. It's the reality my friend. That's not to say that these elections don't matter. Right wing extremism is growing around the world and it's important for us to call it out. This however doesn't need to stop people from criticizing actions of left.
And I specifically asked about your hypothesis of US pulling out of NATO. As you haven't provided any sources, I would assume it's fear mongering. Some of you American left are mirror identical to the right.
Do you ever sort by hot? Or are you mainly in the default sort?
I'm on default and there's always posts like this every week. Last week it was about the bear and how supposedly lemmy is more mysogynist than reddit. Before it was about how lemmy is too one sided and all the comments agreeing are zionists ranting that their comments get downvoted so apparently lemmy is filled with reddits ban list.
I don't have any problem with this but I left reddit cause I was getting more posts about rants about some other bad posts than the bad post's themselves. Example stremio addons subreddit. That shit was filled with entitled miserable people angry that free software was being used by new people. I never saw that much toxicity even on any arch linux forums.
There are some instances like hexbear, lemmy.ml, lemmygrad that I see people using words left may not like. But it's definitely not as bad as it's portrayed. Blocking these can help.
My sort is hot, I'm often seeing posts you never see I guess.
