Should Lemmy support karma requirements

No, absolutely not, they can fuck right off. I hate that shit on reddit and I’ll completely stop posting to any community/instance that implements it on the fediverse. It’s completely disheartening to new users for them to find out that they can only interact after they’ve made posts elsewhere. Then they go there and those people have that too.

I am becoming increasingly sick of seeing the word ‘deport’ being used by Republicans who are suggesting revoking citizenship and a banishment. It’s exile.

I’ve said it before and I will say it again.

The only difference between Israel and a terrorist organization is PR and budget.

Judge Michael Farbiarz of the U.S. District Court for New Jersey said that the government’s attempt to continue to detain Khalil was “highly, highly, highly unusual.” Farbiarz recently ruled that Khalil’s arrest and detention over his pro-Palestinian activism at Columbia University likely violated the Constitution.

How many more of these stories need to come out before us around the rest of the world stop treating the United States like a democracy? They aren’t. I’m so exhausted of this fucking sane washing. It’s a goddamn terrorist state.

Depends. The average person? No.

The cop who just found me dumpster diving trying to find something to eat for the first time in days who screamed at me so hard I started to have a panic attack? Yeah.

Still are. I got a phone book delivered a week ago, I shit thee not. Granted I’m on a small island and the book is small too. But like, you can pay to have your number removed from the book. Can you have it removed from this? Not to mention all the 2FA stuff that can be connected to the phone number. Someone clones your number or takes it and suddenly they’ve got access to a whole lot of your login stuff.

Well that’s not terrifying at all.

I only said that because I was actively replying to other people lol

Here you go.

Sorry about the delay…

Really wish I could pin this comment

I had the same reaction when I read about this dude too. Just “Are you fucking kidding me?”

If this is what they’re doing to people with cameras on them and reporters around them… what are they doing to those who don’t?

100% what happened. The uncropped video is plain as fucking day. He looks back and forth around the area and the second that she’s turned and the camera looks around, he just fucking shoots her. Only way he could argue anything was thinking the camera was a gun. The giant bulky shoulder camera. If so, then dude doesn’t deserve the ability to drive a CAR, never mind work in law enforcement.

Oh there’s a reason I put “non-lethal” in quotes.

She’s just lucky she didn’t end up like Nick Stern. A british photojournalist that was also shot today with “non-lethal rounds”.

“People came over to help and got me on the curb. A medic was called, who cut off my clothes. In my leg was what felt like a five centimeter hole with muscle hanging out of it and blood all down my leg. The medic put a tourniquet on it, and a journalist I was with took me to ER. It hurt so much that I thought they might be firing live rounds,” he said. “I’ve been with non lethal rounds before. They hurt like hell but generally don’t break the skin. But the blood made me think it was a live round.”

Dude had to go into emergency surgery.

Of course they are.

I’m having a hard time thinking of a major American news institution at the moment that doesn’t deserve to have a sledgehammer taken to its goddamn knees.

Good god… Worst I’ve seen so far here in Canada (granted I’m on an island stuck 20 years behind everyone else) was the pump screen flashing to show a loyalty program like AirMiles or PC Optimum or something and none of them have audio.
