This has happened before. Even after Abu Ghraib Bush Jr won re-election. Even after Iran-Contra the Republicans won re-election.
But the fact is that they do not have the answers. They can only take things for themselves, and hope that people give up.
Yeah only 2 generations ago, LGBT people were considered mentally ill. 4 generations ago women were considered unfit to vote. 8 generations ago about half the US though it was OK to own slaves. It takes a while for ideas to die out. That’s why US elections turn out the way they do.
1·2 days agoikr even with a 7-day window it should be up by now. I wonder if there’s some kind of bug or edge case that’s stopping it from being listed? Like maybe the name’s too long or something.
wow actually sounds interesting. I’ma track it down.
Mod Fuck Explosion is a 1994 low-fi independent film, written and directed by Jon Moritsugu.[1][2] It is about a young girl named London who is trying to find meaning in the world, or a leather jacket of her very own.[3] Unaccepted by the Mods or the Asian biker gang, she tries to find her own path through life.[3] Meanwhile, the Mods and the bikers have a vendetta against each other that is sure to erupt in a smorgasbord of violence.
Why… yes. Thank you. You have enriched my life immeasurably…
Surprised to not see !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone there… maybe on tomorrow’s list?
Seems like it’s better suited for !fediverselore@lemmy.ca and indeed I see db0 mentioned as such on the !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com post that was recently made. This is an interesting case study re the fediverse and communities:
- moving a community to a different instance works differently than it did on r$ddit bc whereas r$ddit only had one set of admins, on the fediverse there are numerous sets of admins – a fact that is crucial here
- moving to a new instance introduces a new set of defederated instances. for example the people on beehaw who could post on blahaj would no longer be able to do so on world.
- what is a community? the mods? the subscribers? the upvoters? the posters?
- what’s the best way to move a community? I think this experience suggests that “by surprise” doesn’t always work.
- I think the current blahaj mods could have made a “request for comment” post floating the idea, and let everyone have their say for a week or so. Perhaps at the end of the comment period the current mods could have said: “ok, but if we stay we’re going to need more mods” and that would have been a win all around. Or maybe we could have decided “there’s enough room for two 196s”. Shutting down a safe space – especially just as life is about to get a lot worse for trans people in the US – was bound to have pushback. But for all that, I think the mods were acting in good faith.
this community is not one that is defined by the instance it is located on
Apparently many people in this community disagree with that statement.
OK, I think I see where you’re coming from. But lemmy.world already has several meme, shitpost, and microblog repost communities. Why does lemmy.world need c/196? Up til now the fact that it was on blahaj.zone was what made it stand out.

Sure. But when you wake up you’ll be several years older, on a ventilator, and handcuffed to your hospital bed until you set up a payment plan.
111·10 days agoIt’s a “long form” story. Sometimes you need that to provide context. Also it helps treat people like people, not just like statistics.
10·10 days agoFascinating stuff. Also, club swinging “appeared as a gymnastic event in the 1904 and 1932 Olympics”. source
That pizza looks good enough for Jehovah!
I’m on Hooon’s side. Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
