Motherfuckers created a rule about how pointing out that overpopulation myths are ecofascistic lobbying is actually "bad faith" somehow so now every post, no matter what it is about, full of "this is why billions must die" bullshit.

There's 500k subscribers btw.

Why are you concerning yourself with this?

[-] DivineChaos100@hexbear.net 62 points 1 year ago

"Why are you concerned with the normalization of the notion that some people being alive is just simply over the limits?"

[-] rah@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

normalization

You're talking about Reddit, not the New York Times.

were you surprised to discover that the new york crimes echoes the same ecofascist genocidal sentiments that we see on reddit

they aren't anything new and have been around since at least the green revolution (in their modern iteration)

No idea what you're rambling on about.

[-] Are_Euclidding_Me@hexbear.net 47 points 1 year ago

I gotta ask, are you incapable of reading or are you unwilling to read? Because DivineChaos100 responded to you with two links to NYT articles about this issue, in this comment, which was posted before CarmineCatboy2 asked you to comment on those NYT articles. And yet, you're here acting as though this didn't happen. But I can read and I understand what time stamps are, so I know that you have been shown evidence that the NYT believes similar things to the r/Collapse subreddit before this comment where you pretend such a thing never happened.

So I'll repeat CarmineCatboy2's question to you, and maybe you'll answer it this time: Were you surprised to discover that the new york crimes echoes the same ecofascist genocidal sentiments that we see on reddit?

You've missed an option here which is the option I noted: I didn't understand CarmineCatboy2's question.

which was posted before CarmineCatboy2 asked you to comment on those NYT articles

CarmineCatboy2 didn't ask me to comment on those NYT articles, they mentioned "new york crimes" which only now that I've read your comment do I realise is a play on the name "New York Times".

you're here acting as though this didn't happen

I'm not acting. I didn't understand what CarmineCatboy2 was going on about and I said as much. If I might be so bold as to offer some unsolicited advice: maybe in future just assume that when someone says they don't understand what another is saying, they're doing so because they don't understand what the other is saying.

Were you surprised to discover that the new york crimes echoes the same ecofascist genocidal sentiments that we see on reddit?

I'll rephrase this question in order to favour clear communication:

Were you surprised to discover that the New York Times echoed the same ecofascist genocidal sentiments that we see on Reddit?

I made no such discovery, I didn't look at the New York Times articles that were linked to. Had I discovered that, I would not be surprised.

[-] CarmineCatboy2@hexbear.net 31 points 1 year ago

I didn't look at the New York Times articles that were linked to.

sounds like you have a tendency to resist leaving your ideological tribal traps

I admit it never even so much as crossed my mind that someone on the internet (and specifically commenting all over this thread) might not understand that the phrase "new york crimes" refers to the NYT. So one point to you I suppose.

This probably also explains why you're confused in the subthread where someone told you this isn't the first time recently you've defended reddit-logo You probably think they're actually talking about the website actually called Stormfront. They're not. They're talking about reddit, which you did, in fact, defend not 20 hours ago.

[-] rah@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

They're talking about reddit, which you did, in fact, defend not 20 hours ago.

I disagree. I wasn't defending Reddit, I was questioning the rationality of a Lemmy poster. There's a difference.

[-] TrashGoblin@hexbear.net 41 points 1 year ago

No investigation, no right to speak.

[-] LesbianLiberty@hexbear.net 46 points 1 year ago

Reddit communities with 500k subscribers, for better or for worse, can influence culture at large. Making a post to begin a discussion on the potential dangers of such a large community's moderation policies is not an unworthy endeavor.

half a million people

In a subreddit. You consider half a million subscribers to a subreddit to be worthy of concern?

[-] DivineChaos100@hexbear.net 37 points 1 year ago
[-] rah@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago

Can I ask why? Like what consequences do you envision from the existence of this community that concern you?

[-] DivineChaos100@hexbear.net 37 points 1 year ago

Do i really have to spell it out why it is bad that the idea "some people are ballast" spreading is bad?

[-] rah@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You're talking here about a specific idea but I was just asking about the existence of the community at all. Regardless, OK, yes, please spell out what your concern is with that particular idea being discussed in the subreddit?

[-] radiofreeval@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago

A single living fascist is cause for concern.
