Honestly Lemmy sucks because people here are all try-hard assholes who are incapable of seeing nuance. Anytime I comment on anything I somehow end up offending some segment of the Marxist left. Which baffles me because I’m rather far left as well, but they are too caught up in trying to prove I am an idiot to realize I’m literally on their side on 99% of topics.
It’s pretty discouraging and I’ve kinda stopped wanting to interact here.
My last 6 posts were removed and I was called a Russian troll for daring to suggest that Biden’s support of the Palestinian genocide is going to cost him the election. I’ve given up on commenting and will stick to lurking going forward. As a Bernie supporter who migrated to Portland, OR after Trump won the election in 2016, it feels incredibly weird to be called an Alt-Right or Russian agitator simply for pointing out flaws in the current administration.
I think you might be spending too much time in echo chambers if you think Biden’s position on Palestine is what would cost him an election. Most people just do not care enough about this either way to let it affect their vote, regardless of how you and I feel about it.
Because the days where if Netflix or Amazon didn’t have it, it didn’t exist are over. Once the content owners saw how much money there was to be made, they let the streaming licenses expire and built their own platforms instead so they could potentially grab a bigger piece of the pie.
But do you really need to have immediate access to everything that exists at all times? I only signup for Netflix when I want to watch a certain show, then stop my membership.
This is satire. Looking at ChrisJBakke’s Twitter feed, his posts are jokes. You may not like them. They may not be funny. But they’re jokes.
This one echoes a Lemmy post from a few days back:
I think we’d have a much better time on Lemmy if we chilled out. OP posts a lot of decent content, there’s no need to shoot the messenger.

You don’t need a lot of people to care. Just enough to swing the election.
Swing the election? Do you mean you’d vote for Trump who has a worse opinion on Palestine? I’m not sure I follow.
Why do you need to subscribe to 10 different streaming services? I always thought this was such a dumb take.
