An incomplete list of reasons I block accounts:

  • Ranting about journalism rather than discussing the actual news.
  • Whining about paywalls rather than just circumventing them yourself. It’s 2024 you should know how to use an archival site by now. Don’t expect everyone to everything for you.

  • “My country is facing a war, and we are facing that hate here. My daughter is traumatized; whenever I open the apartment door, she runs away and hides, telling me she is afraid the lady will come and immerse her head in the water again.”

    That’s the worst thing I’ve read all day. No one deserves that kind of trauma, let alone a 3-year-old little girl. I hope the attacker, Elizabeth Wolf, rots in prison.

    It’s a travesty that she was allowed bail at all. She has already established that she is extremely violent and poses a clear threat to the community and a continued threat to the victim and her family. While police were arresting her, she said, “Tell her I will kill her and I will kill her whole family.” What the fuck does it take to get bail denied in Texas?




























  • Yep, lemmy isn’t even immune to it. There’s only something like 34k MAU on this side of the fediverse yet we’re still under a constant barrage of misinformation. politics@lemmy.world isn’t any better than reddit’s r/politics in that regard. The mods here, if I’m being generous with my interpretation, labor under the same misguided sense of “impartiality” that allows misinformation to thrive there.

    We’ve got one user posting anti-Biden nonsense 24/7 while tossing in just enough “actual” news for plausible deniability… And it works. I don’t even have to name any names, if you’ve been on lemmy for the last year and paying attention to political subs, I guarantee you already know who I’m referring to.








  • Yes but they are a different species. North America has the appropriately named North American beaver whereas they have the Eurasian beaver.

    Eurasian beavers were actually nearly hunted to extinction by the onset of the 20th century but fortunately conservation efforts have led to their population numbers rebounding considerably.
