Of course not why would I?

Oha. Can you name a few examples? I browse world news quite often and am kinda worried right now.

Serinus,

The mega thread on Israel & Palestine in world news is extremely selective about which opinions they allow.

Jackthelad,

Without looking, I’m going to take a wild guess that the opinions they allow are predominantly pro-Palestine.

Any discussion about Israel-Palestine is a complete waste of time anyway, because people are so entrenched in their views that even if you showed them they were wrong on something, they’d just dismiss it anyway. What’s the point of getting involved in a discussion that’s not going to go anywhere?

dustyData,

I read the modlogs from time to time yesterday. There are people literally advocating for, and up to describing in gruesome and sadistic detail, ways to genocide every Palestinian in Gaza, the West bank and the whole world in general. Some classy fellows extend it to every Arab and Muslin in the world.

I have not read, neither on the modlog nor the posts comments themselves saying anything remotely as bad about Israel. Maybe they are, but I haven’t seen them. The worse was someone saying that Israel needs to not be recognized as a state by the UN. That threw a few people off the deep end, calling the commenters anti-semites along with some other less savory epithets.

A couple of users were also harassing others and flaming on every single top level comment with some colorful language towards Palestine, not Hamas, Palestine.

So, I would say that indeed the allowed opinions were predominantly pro-Palestine, but that’s because they weren’t the ones breaking rules left and right and being uncivil overall. Level headed pro-Israel comments abounded, they were just downvoted to oblivion. Welcome to the internet.

otter,

which community of worldnews?

Serinus,

Lemmy.ml

Scrof,

Well they’re just a bunch of tankies who watch aljazeera and rt.

DefinitelyNotAPenguin,

Which is run by the Lemmy devs who are tankies

drekly,

They also have a moderator who told me that Ukraine probably blows up their own buildings, and deleted all comments in the conversation when evidence proved otherwise.

Lemminary,

Was it the same mod that did an AMA and was super duper chill with the tankies? God, what an insufferable thread looking back

tankplanker, in What do you like about the vehicle you drive and would you have changed anythin about it?

23 plate Hyundai Ioniq 5 Premium Long Range.

Likes:

Getting 4 to 4.5 miles to kwh out of what is quite a large car by European standards. Costs approx. 9p a kw in the UK on an EV tariff so it costs a fraction of what an ICE car would cost to run.

350kw charging, I rarely wait longer than 20 minutes to charge from 20% to 80%

Tons of space.

Single pedal driving is awesome

Tows my 1400kg caravan with ease due to 100% of torque from 0 rpm and weighing 2 ton (more the car weighs compared to the trailer the better towing is, assuming enough torque). Even big Range Rovers aren’t as smooth towing from stand still.

Same trait means its quick when driving round town or from a standstill. Above UK legal speeds its average for its price point.

Its also much much quieter than its ICE competitors.

Comfy on a long journey, like driving round sitting on a sofa.

Dislikes

Weighs 2 tons. Car it replaced was 1500kg and similar external size. Would like it to weigh less, but all new cars the same size, even ICE, are pretty fat these days. A brand new ICE 3 Series is also almost 2 ton with a few options on it and comparable usable space/purchase price.

Handling when hustling is compromised by the car being aimed at comfort and how fat it is. If you want handling buy the new performance model, its also stupid fast as it has 640bhp.

UK spec for this year has no heat pump for the battery even as an option, would be useful for improving winter mileage. Irish version of the same car has it as standard (at least for my model year and trim level), despite Ireland being warmer during the winter than the UK. Heat pump is now available as an option.

UK spec Premium cannot have memory seats, have to upgrade to a much more expensive trim level that has a ton of stuff I do not want or need. Same with the 360 cameras, I only get rear camera. Locking stuff behind a much more expensive trim level is a dick move.

Exusia, in Do you pay for Discord Nitro?
@Exusia@lemmy.world avatar

I do. Full subscription. Originally I had Basic, but with banners and stuff being added I thought “ah fuck why not?” I spend a lot of time on the platform as staff for a large server, and frequent 2 or 3 others so I’m much more visible as a flagship and interacting with users than most normal users. I dont feel like the average user needs full nitro, but I can break down how I use/see the various features.

spoilerI dropped my 2 boosts on some friends servers, our server is partnered and doesn’t need them, and I feel like boosts are…a silly money extraction tbh. I use animated emotes frequently and emotes from other servers (and animated emotes from other servers) so that feature is worth it. Increased file size is a godsend. I know this is artificially restricted and discord could be less stingy for free people, but for paid getting bigger uploads has helped tremendously when I have to use modmail on various servers. Send image proof? Easy. Video evidence? Done and done with that increased limit. Banner? I like it tbh. Not necessary but I like it. In tandem with this is setting my own colors for profile. I have never once used Remix. Super Emojis has got to be the dumbest fucking thing I have ever heard of. You get like 5 per week, and is the first feature I go out of my way to use so I can justify its existence. Dumb as hell. Streaming is nice. I dont usually use it but it is nice to be able to stream in our channels at max. I feel like this one is artificially gimped by Discord to get you to pay, so YMMV. I don’t use this feature often.

If you see hate-inciting posts, wilful disinformation or egregious misinformation, then be sure to use the report button.

The issue is that some communities are run by mods who think these are real news

intensely_human,

Find communities with mods who will seriously look into reported fake news

otter,

Find new communities when that happens, or bring it up with the admins so those mods are replaced

Rhoeri,
@Rhoeri@lemmy.world avatar

This is the correct answer

intensely_human, in What can we do, as lemmy users, to fight fake news being pushed in the platform?

Can you give examples of what you’re talking about?

Kolanaki, in What piece of song lyric you can really relate to?

I sure could use a vacation from this Stupid shit! Silly shit! Stupid shit!

quams69, in What do you like about the vehicle you drive and would you have changed anythin about it?

I genuinely wish I didn’t have to own a vehicle and there’s basically nothing I like about it.

lorez, in What piece of song lyric you can really relate to?

Heaven is a kiss and a smile. George Michael.

Firebirdie713, in What piece of song lyric you can really relate to?

You gotta hold on, ready or not You live for the fight when that’s all that you’ve got

Pr0v3n, in Do you pay for Discord Nitro?

Surprised to see the people here not using Nitro.

I’ve been paying for Nitro for about a year, I use the features frequently. Gif Display Picture, Banner, large upload size (500mb), high quality streaming. I’m pretty much streaming my games to my mates any time on my machine and they do the same, so better quality stream really increases our quality of enjoyment. I boost several friends large servers with the boosts we get. I like my profile to be flashy and care about it, and discord is on 99% of the time while my machine is on, on my second monitor along with YouTube. I use most of the features Nitro advertises, so I don’t mind paying 20m of work a month for it.

hazelnot,

Lmao imagine typing up paragraphs just to boast about your fucking salary 💀

Do you really like to feel superior to poor people that much with your 10k a month? And then acting surprised that the disgusting poors can’t afford to pay a monthly fee for fucking hi-res GIFs or whatever

Pr0v3n,

The fuck? Nitro is like $10/m or something, 3x that is only $30/h, which is a pretty standard wage for anyone working in Australia.

Destraight, in What do you like about the vehicle you drive and would you have changed anythin about it?

I drive a 2001 Toyota celica. I like how it looks like a spaceship 🚀 the only thing I’d change is the power window buttons. I miss them being on the door instead of the center console. I could have bigger cup holder if those buttons weren’t there

CADmonkey, in How do you spend your idle time?

Books, video games, writing, drawing. All the stuff I did before reddit, facebook, imgur, etc.

AgentGrimstone, in What cheap tool/gadget do you use that greatly improves your daily life?

My tiny skillet designed for a single egg and my small silicone spatula. It’s also just big enough for a slice of Spam.

Mr_Blott,

Is Spam still a thing? I thought it was like post-WW2

Kevo,

Yeah, it’s still totally around, and pretty popular for very low budget meals. And here in the Midwest at least, spam over rice and spam sushi is associated with Hawaiian cuisine.

PM_ME_FEET_PICS,

Spam is pretty big in Phillipine culture as a comfort food as well.

Chopsticks. Use chopsticks to turn over bacon.

doc,

Not to mention they are the superior salad utensil.

Mobiuthuselah,

Agreed. Chopsticks make it so much easier to fold up my salad greens and minimize the amount of salad dressing I get in my beard and mustache.

Piecemakers3Dprints,
@Piecemakers3Dprints@lemmy.world avatar

Use less dressing? I mean, if your salad is dripping, you might wanna look at your ratios there. 😅

Mobiuthuselah,

Never said it was dripping. It just rubs against facial hair while eating. Ice cream, sandwiches, beverages, lots of foods have an interaction with facial hair. It’s something I live with because it’s not that big of a deal and using chopsticks makes it even less so.

Piecemakers3Dprints,
@Piecemakers3Dprints@lemmy.world avatar

You could try grooming? Tame that wilderness, tiger.

Mobiuthuselah,

Why does this matter to you? You keep making assumptions and then trying to solve them as though it’s an issue. I’m just agreeing with OP that’s it’s easier to eat salad with chopsticks and especially for someone who has a beard. If you don’t have a beard and don’t fully understand why it would be easier, then it’s not really relevant to you, and that’s okay.

Piecemakers3Dprints,
@Piecemakers3Dprints@lemmy.world avatar

And by that same logic: if I do have a beard and know what it’s like, then it is relevant and that’s okay, too. Especially when it might be solid advice, either way. Who knows. Up to you, really. 🤗

Mobiuthuselah,

Unsolicited free advice is often worth what you pay. Thanks for the strange effort in trying to find problems where there are none.

NemoWuMing,

Rouxibeau,

Daiso sells large kitchen ones. They’re great.
