I think you should just be prepared to deal with this every time you post bullshit. No one is reaching out to editors for seeing an article on Lemmy. We’re gonna go at the user who brought it here instead.

Exactly my point though. I KNOW you all just go after the user. Think about that for a second. Ever hear, “don’t kill the messenger”?
I would prefer people refrain from personal attacks and stay civil. This is a political news community, and it’s a political news article.
I didn’t write it. So it’s silly coming after me. I didn’t make the news, I posted it. And unless you are all censoring different points of view, I’m not sure why you are so angry.
I’m not even voting for Stein. lmao
There are 1,000’s of pro-harris articles. I promise you guys will be just fine if a few third party articles are dropped in here. It’s not like an article can change the minds of a Lemmy user and make them suddenly stop supporting Harris.
You all need to calm down. lol Some of the comments I get are hilarious. You all act like I am bringing about the end of the world. Trump won’t even win. So calm yourself.
I didn’t write the news guys. It’s already out there for the world to see. And no one in this small Lemmy community is suddenly gonna change their mind over a news article. You’re not losing any Harris votes because I posted an article. :)
I’m actually not angry. Maybe annoyed, how you could tip toe around obvious matters and assert your own reasonings for them while denying upfront evidence. But if I were angry I would have just blocked. I leave you unblocked because I agree and like a lot of the things you posted as UniversalMonk. But with this new moniker you’ve been on a Jill Stein kick and she’s really not a stellar person. Try the community aspects of your ideals, thats what we need right now, grassroots community movements.

Again, I haven’t changed my username. My username is still @UniversalMonk. Look at my profile. These posts are still under the @UniversalMonk username.
Why do you think I have changed my username?!
The only way someone could change usernames is by creating an entirely new account. This is the same username I have used since starting to post on Lemmy. It’s my one and only username.
I seriously don’t understand why you are confused about that or implying that I am tricking someone. I haven’t changed my attitude or what I post.
I’m still @UniversalMonk. It’s right here in my profile under my display name:
You appeared as UniversalMonk before, now you appear as Socialist Berserker… This is what I’m talking about. Insane shit like this. You know you entered a display name you didn’t have before and now your posts show your display name. I know the old ones also show SB now but its still a change you have to be aware of because you made it happen.
Actually you missed a few display name changes. My display name started out as the default username, then when I found out I could change it, I changed it to Socialist Workers Party, then I changed it to Socialst Workers Unite, then I changed it to my current one, Socialist Berserker.
Super easy to do. It takes less than 5 seconds. It’s not tricking or fooling anyone. Lemmy has the feature built-in to it and we are allowed to change our display name.
Guess what? Heads up, I’ll probably change it next time I get bored again. Because I can. It updates all past posts. It doesn’t “fool” anyone and isn’t mean to.
You could change yours if you wanted to. And if you don’t, cool! But to imply that I am trying to fool anyone is silly.
It’s a feature built into Lemmy that many asked for. That’s why it’s a feature.
I’ve always posted third party news. And I will continue to do so. No matter how mad people are. It’s a political news sub, and I have posted political news stories.
Okay you’re doing a lot of assuming here. I never said username. I said moniker. I was referring to your display name. I also never mentioned or hinted at it being against the rules or in any way not allowed. Reactions like this will keep people “mad” at you as you backpeddle, wrongly extrapolate, and do it over six separately indented sentences.
Fair point. You did say monikor, so I wrongly assumed you meant username. Someone else said “your old name (You’re not fooling anyone)” and I mixed it up with your comment also bringing up my name. I get accused of it fairly often. So I was just making one general response to all of them, but to your point, it was only in my reply to you. Which was incorrect on my part!
as you backpeddle
I haven’t backpedaled on my comments tho. My attitude has always been the same. People have been pissed with my articles since day one. I think in my very first post I was accused of being russian! lmao
People are mad because I post third party articles and I won’t vote for harris. It’s not because of Jill Stein. It’s not because I defend myself in comments. I could stay silent (and have!) and the same things get said. Many are just soooo ingrained into the division of politics, that it’s their life. Just today I had to block someone comparing me to Nazis because I mentioned I wasn’t afraid of Trump. That’s not something people say just because they don’t like my article. That’s just hate and fear.
and do it over six separately indented sentences.
Bruh, come on now. You are talking about indented sentences!? Do you know how many people have wordvomit in one continues paragraph that makes it hard to read?!
I mean, I can concede some of your other points. But I won’t stop with indented sentences. Ovbiously:)
You aren’t a Nazi, other people are overreacting. Hate and fear rule the roost right now so you are also correct about that. Lemmy is basically a brawling pit of mostly leftist, as we both know. Posting a lot, especially some of your more communist stuff is just going to get hit with downvotes. The infamous osma can surely let you know that.
I probably do the word vomit thing but I’m on mobile when I use Lemmy and its not always fun to format. I’m not gonna really tell you not to do you. I noticed people just seem to get agitated at replies formatted like that, like each one is a prong or something.
Because I’ve posted articles about her? I post articles about all third parties. I don’t write them, I post them. I’m not “tooting her horn.”
I just posted an article about the libertarian party today. Am I “tooting their horn”?
The vast majority of posts I make are about socialism, to the socialist communities (over 450 articles/comments). Feel free to look: https://lemmy.world/c/socialist
That’s tooting a horn, friend. lol
I don’t create the news, I read it and post it. If you don’t like it, then feel free to move on.
The problem is when people point stuff out this is what you do. Its not what you post its how you react in the comments. More than half the stuff you post is very agreeable and good. Its mostly.these third party posts, where you try to say Jill Stein is good, and we say she isn’t with receipts and then you knock everyone’s toys down because we said we dont like her for understandable reasons.
The problem is when people point stuff out this is what you do.
But why point it out at all? My personal views don’t really matter in the larger scheme of things. No one on Lemmy is going to read an article about a third party being on the ballot and go, “Holy shit! Fuck Harris. I’ve changed my mind! I’m voting third party!” That’s just not going to happen.
ts mostly.these third party posts, where you try to say Jill Stein is good, and we say she isn’t with receipts
And this is the point YOU are missing. That’s your opinion. Your opinion (and most on Lemmy) is that she isn’t good. But lots of people think she IS good. She has never said she supports Putin. There is no proof she is paid by Putin. But that is what a lot of Lemmy people say and imply.
Because they don’t like her. And that’s fine. Guess what? I DO like her. It’s just opinion, friend.
If I tried to change your opinion on Harris, and you didn’t change your mind, would that mean you were suddenly a bad person?! Just because you didn’t change your opinion in spite of any “evidence” I had? No, it just means you didn’t change your convictions. Which is your choice. As it is mine.
That’s not some vast agenda. My opinion of JIll Stein remains unchanged. If she was truly the criminal some make her out to be, it’d be front page news. And she’d be convicted. You don’t the think the Democratic party has looked over every tiny details to find out fo she has done anything illegal?
Just because she does something YOU don’t like, doesn’t mean I have to agree with you. Besides I’m not voting for her, so relax.
YOU don’t like her. I get it. YOU agree with the others that don’t like her. I get it. But I don’t agree. And I don’t have to. That’s diversity of opinion. Do you really want Lemmy to be some vast echo chamber like reddit?
Oh and just to make sure things get extra spicy? Guess what? I don’t hate Russia either. And I’m not afraid of Trump. I’m still not voting for him tho. He’s an idiot.
My choices. My opinions. They are not wrong just because they are different from yours (and most people on Lemmy. Ha!).
But why point it out at all? My personal views don’t really matter in the larger scheme of things.
You are posting it on a public forum. Thats why. If you dont want your personal views criticized I guess dont post them publicly. I have agreed with you before, as I have said.
A messenger is sent by someone, and is generally unaware of the content of the message - that turn of phrase only
makes sense in such a a context.
These outlets didn’t send you here, and you personally chose to post these because their content aligns with your views and goals. You are not “the messenger”.
As do all the people who post the 100’s of pro-Harris articles.
I didn’t write the news. The articles are not hidden.
Do you think that Lemmy users are so weak that me posting a news article is going to change their minds and make them suddenly not vote for Harris?
Stay mad all you want. But this sub isn’t a “OnlyPostProHarrisArticles” sub, nor is it only a “democrat news only” sub.
It’s political news. What I posted is political news.
If you believe any part of the article is inaccurate, I encourage you to reach out to the news organization that published it. If you think the article doesn’t align with the community guidelines, feel free to contact the moderators. Thank you!
