Can you see whats been removed from a thread? Because at the time of my comment, there were quite a few comments I’m not seeing anymore

So, you dont think its something to discuss that everyone thinks its okay to start hating on Jewish people as a whole on here?

Or is that something to just ignore since I made a comparison?

Its wild to me how many mfers are excited to start going in on “Jews”. Mfers just need to blanket hate I guess.

Wadyall saying about the Tigray or Sudan people?

I’m not going to bat for Meta/Facebook.

But in my personal opinion, users choice is best for the users. If Threads ultimately has more and better content(because let’s face it, we’ve all seen LINUX BEATS WINDOWS IN 10 GAME TESTS! 100 different times already), users who want that content will have to create an account with Meta to access it. I’d rather use my Lemmy account and access Meta through that.

but again, just my opinion which ultimately doesn’t matter.

YouGov is a volunteer based, reward based, anonymous polling website.

If anyone wants to claim they are a 91 year old martian and just rapid fire clicks through these polls to earn gift cards or whatever, you can sign up within a minute with just an email to verify you. I just did out of curiosity. And they use pretty questionable weighted methodology.

but YouGov is usually the “statistics” for multiple posts of the front page of Lemmy every day.

I swear half my comments on Lemmy are explaining that YouGov polls are meaningless, but people keep posting them because they have titles, or the article have titles they like.

So many YouGov polls here. it’s wild

But any way you want to compare Threads activity/uses to Lemmy’s… It’s pretty obvious that Threads is already way bigger which was the main point I’d imagine.

I like how amplified divisive content, misinformation and content moderation is the “legitimate” risks like it’s not already an issue here.

It’s wild how many YouGov polls hit the front page of Lemmy. Regardless if you like the results or not, the polls are worthless trash that means nothing.

I mean… This isn’t that rare in Utah? Last year was wild, but besides that, this is pretty par for course the last 5 years, and not out of the normal for the last 5 before that. Especially not having snow sticking in the Valley…

Don’t get me wrong, I’m probably going to bail on Utah soon because how fucked this are getting with the climate/droughts/air quality… But this year isn’t some wild leap

Ha shit, one of those ads must have popped up and made me jump that paragraph or something. I really did read it and didn’t see that the first time through

I mean, you can read the article. I don’t see that quote anywhere.

But you also kind of implied “it’s fine if it’s not true since it’s plausible” that’s more what I was commenting on

Damn, we’ve lowered the bar for journalism to plausible?

Pretty convenient it’s always a nameless generic bad guy for the actual bad guys though.

True.

But do you believe the actual people commiting the genocide and manipulating Facebook shouldn’t be held accountable for their actions?

It’s wild how we have simplified all modern complex issues to “it’s because of the (fill in the blank extremely popular bad guys)”

Guess it’s not worth thinking about the actual issues.

I’d imagine is because Myanmars situation is way more complicated than Facebook “undoubtedly caused a genocide”.

Seems like it’s getting trivialized to shit on Facebook

That’s a large portion of what’s here as well though…

Oh yeah, and I’d imagine if something like NATO decided to take that path forward in the future, it would probably be possible to beat Russia by killing Russians. I also imagine it would be relatively quick tbh.

But for humanities sake, I hope they can put together a better, more surgical way to remove the cancer from Russia.

While I agree with the sentiment, it’s not like “we” are trying to beat Russia, right? Ukraine is defending itself. I’d imagine the story would be a little different if the goal was to beat Russia(like a full effort), rather than defend Ukraine.
