Do we see mastodon posts here on Lemmy?

Thanks for selling, I lump sum’d into the stock market at a 15% discount.

But do it in a smart way. A single person using violence against someone stronger than him, is dumb.

Something like BLM movement is smart.

Just trying to resist arrest, however angry it may make you, is dumb. Unless of course you’d be sent to gulag. Then do resist.

You need to use power in a smart way to gain the upper hand.

We failed to make Russia bend the knee with soft power.

Rearming Europe, after decades of trying without, is necessary because there’s an ongoing war in Europe.

We overestimated our influence without an army, and that’s even with the army of turkey and USA on our side in case we’d get attacked.

Violence is necessary, just unwanted. If someone hits my wife then I’m not going to use my words to solve the situation.

It’s complicated because if you give everyone a gun, then there’s a shooting happening every day. Give nobody a gun, then we don’t know how to defend our countries.

Pros and cons to be outweighed, depending on the larger context.

Ah, I support capitalism with a high median net wealth. Tax and social transfer seems to be necessary.

The blonde lady that keeps doing north Korea level propaganda is doing a damn good job tho. If she’s reading this. God damn, you do a hell of a job.

Capitalists don’t want the market to crash like this

Actually, income inequality has quite lowered in china. It’s 0,36 gini. While it used to be equal to USA.

The USA increased its income inequality while China lowered theirs. Gotta pay due diligence

USA playing alone in the corner while the rest of the world trades efficiently.

The left trying to destroy the influence of a plutocrat is pretty normal

We lack a translate button. Rednote and weibo have translate buttons. We need that.

There’s no central authority here. But if it doesn’t matter which instance you are on, then all the users on Lemmy are still just part of Lemmy.

On the graph I see other icons than Lemmy.

Are we able to see content from other social media? Or what is meant with that

I can imagine that spamming/constant harassment/advertising/etc can ruin a space. Especially when it can be automated.

Perhaps it would be better with temp bans and that moderation is automated in order to prevent bias.

It’s been 1 week since I found out about Lemmy, liking it quite a bit.

I wonder, is there an area on this social media that are extremist pro free speech?

Such as, okay you’re being a total shithead, I still won’t ban you.

I’m just curious if spaces such as that even exist, and if they do, what they lead to.

Met my wife on a little internet forum called 9chat. Right before it disappeared.

These little spaces on the internet were quite nice to be. Always seeing the same people. It has a different feeling.

Decentralising social media will have its positives. When one tries to control public opinion, people can flee to another one for example.

If the major stakeholder and CEO is actively being an unelected politician addressing policy changes onto the public, then repercussions need to happen.

It would not be wise to show people that they can achieve plutocracy. Plutocrats only lose their power by losing their wealth, so if that’s what has to happen, then that is the plan.
