People being antisocial toward their own spouse getting up voted is a troubling sign.

Are you making a distinction between those who vote Democrat and the politicians in the party? I would say there is quite a difference there.

Damn, I can only can block users, not instances. Thanks though!

What/where is the meatball menu please?

I don’t think “free speech” and “don’t be an asshole” are incompatible. I do mostly agree with your take, there different flavors of asshole that are more tolerated than others though.

Ya, the tech interests me. It feels like a version of the earlier internet where private forums and webrings were the norm. I like the native support for blocking things I don’t care to see as well.

You don’t have to be a right wing extremist to be libertarian (small L).

Ya, most young people I know that are not in tech are terrible with tech. They have only experienced EZmode and need shit put on a silver platter.

Wow, this response reeks even more of bot.

No fucking way will I ever support AI having rights. It’s game over then, just hand all the power to corpos.

One of the things that makes Lemmy unique is the underlying decentralized infrastructure. I think it’s just a request to keep that mantra.

Very well said. There have always been problems, not all of them are solvable and it’s ok to zone most of it out. Think globally, act locally.

This is considered world news?!?

I started this way but I’ve been in my field for a few years and now I can’t tell if I’m pretty good or if everyone else is just terrible.

Oh man, I wanted that phone so freaking bad!

What is the stance on federation? I’d love to find a place that doesn’t federate with all the porn and politics instances.

CINS Army always gives me a lot of false positives or took a long time to clear good hosts. I stopped using their list at work as a result.

I’m not inclined to put my “leftness” on trial for you. I’ve seen enough to make a decision on the sanity of this community though.

It’s propaganda because it’s dismissing the idea that it’s generally a good state to move to economically. Lots of new high value companies setting up shop provide employment opportunities in a state where there is still land to develop.

I mean, Texas would be too hot for me but it seems a little suspicious that there is not a worse state in the union than Texas according to this.

By all means, if you can objectively come to the same conclusion as the article, great! I just don’t trust the validity of their findings and therefore categorize it as propaganda.

Just that the article happens to align “good” with the Democratic party’s top social stances. I find it extremely hard to believe that the state that left-leaning people are flocking to is the worst in the nation.

Look, I’m all for equal rights for everyone and the government staying out of people’s personal lives. I just don’t want the constant propaganda.
