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.

  • The issue with Lemmy is that I’ve come across so many promising communities that quickly die off after the initial spurt of activity. I wonder if there is a better organic way to grow the “online discussion”

    Complaining about dead communities while having made only 4 posts in the last year is perhaps the most definitive Lemmy user trait of them all.

    The solution isn’t complicated. Find and submit one article, meme, picture, video, whatever in at least one community every day. Now imagine if all of Lemmy’s MAU’s tried their best to do the same… The only problem with this plan is that everyone expects someone else to do the work for them.










  • “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?

    From the article I linked to previously:

    Local authorities told NBC Miami that 34 vehicles had been vandalized within the parking lot

    Rounding to the nearest dozen is a perfectly normal thing to do so I see nothing inaccurate or misleading about the headline as written. It’s pretty annoying how far lemmy users stretch to criticize every god-damn headline they read.
