To maybe pick up on you describing how you make the “Libertarians are Republicans who like drugs” joke: This is what I intended this community to be for. A place for socialists to joke among one another and maybe vent a bit through those memes. After all, reality can be quite harsh - even depressing - for those disillusioned with the “easy” solution provided by career politicians (at least in my experience).
Honestly, I have no good response to that. I think it’s unproductive but this space isn’t really designed for productivity I guess, so yeah lol. I don’t mean that in a loaded way. As you said, some folks just want to vent. Whether I agree or not, it’s a reasonable way to feel, so do your thing! Appreciate the good discussion.
Not everything has to be productive, we don’t have to be full time revolurionaries 24/7 :p
Having, or even reading, conversations like these was a rarity on Reddit, but also the thing that brought me to the platform.
So thanks to lemmy and you of course, liked this as well.
(am curious btw: do you ppl on kbin see PMs sent from lemmy?)
Also, while I saw the notification, I can’t read the other message you sent me but I’m assuming because I blocked the dude so it’s just hiding a whole chain from me. You probably made a decent point for why you should not boot the dude and if that’s the case, then totally understand! If I’m way off the mark my bad lol. I used to mod a relatively medium/large sub on Reddit and I’ve always felt I should’ve handed out bans like 10% more than I did. They were people who became incredibly disruptive and I allowed them to linger for too long causing chaos (or even get a rise out of me). That being said, we are not on Reddit, this is not my sub, and you are not me!
Appreciate that! I recently resigned as a mod on Reddit and I’m pretty focused on building up the truegaming community here but I am always happy to chat with you and help however I can!

dw, it was just a message asking you to report stuff like that so I can react more efficiently
and when/if I would need more mods you’d be on the list of ppl I’d ask

You’re absolutely right. And at no point have I said this, so it probably behooves me to: the post is pretty funny lol
That’s a good question… I would assume so? But I haven’t tested it. Feel free to shoot me one.
