If lemmy is anything to go by, the vast majority of americans are still pretty fucking eager to throw money at Ukraine. Also the top grossing movie is fucking Barbie and not the sound of farts.
Well lemmy users don’t seem to be the average kind of people. I’m on lemm.ee, I usually scroll all communities im federated with, and what I see is a more left leaning audience
Didn't that instance completely flip out over seeing content from hexbear?
Unless I'm mistaken, a few days ago at least a few users were having a pretty big struggle session about hexbear. Supposedly we are "secretly maga and right wing" or something like that.
Some people did, but it's hard to point at most instances, especially a general one like .ee and address it as a unified culture cause it's only existed for like 2 months.
The discussion and resolution about whether to defend from us is a defining moment in the development of their culture, though. As long as we can still post with them, then we know their site as a whole has fallen on the correct side of that discussion.
No discounting the rubes we have both seen posting in the wild though. I just don't think that we can address them as an instance with a fully formed culture yet.
I agree. I do miss the occasional post from /r/conservative with some batshit insane takes.
The lack of variety is dangerous and could make lemmy a one sided platform
That's true, we need two sides to have balanced discussion. Marxist-Leninists on one side and anarchists on the other
I don't need to see fascist posts on the internet. I get plenty of that just existing in America, thank you very much. It's not "dangerous" to have a place without fascist rhetoric. (Side note, lemmy isn't such a place, although it is better than reddit)
But it’s kinda fun to watch. And sometimes the discussions aren’t complete brawls
between the left and fascists? lol if you think this instance is hard on libs, you should see how we deal with fascists
The fact that three of these things are about child abuse (not the trans bit, just their twisted narrative about it) makes me wonder if it's all about deflection. I mean it turns out that guy the movie is about is unsurprisingly a child trafficker. And Elon was in the old Epstein book wasn't he....
Top movie in America is about elite child trafficking rings
I didn’t see Barbie, but I hadn’t heard it had those sort of themes!
It is Blue Beetle now. Wasnt expecting child trafficking there either tbh.
I'm going to invest all my time and money into quantum computing so we can calculate how big of a locker we will need when it comes time to shove all these nerds into one.
