I mean it's definitely both, but the fashy admins were the last straw.

[–] libra00@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Yep, entirely fair. S'why I left.

I'm not complaining about people leaving, just saying the bots are not the biggest problem.

That's fair, it just seems like that if they're going down the list of problems looking for things they can do to make reddit a better place, it doesn't make sense to not start at the top.

Yeah it's definitely the bots and not the fashy admins that drove me away from reddit.

I definitely think there would've been more outrage if it was Obama vs Biden, but this is a tribal thing, Democrats are 'them' and any perceived slight by 'them' must be countered in the strongest possible terms, so there would still have been plenty of outrage at Biden too.

Sure I get that loads of people really hated Obama for lots of reasons. I sincerely don't think this is a racial thing though: it's a tribal thing, us vs them. Republicans are perceived as being on the side of Christianity (us) so they are given a lot more leeway in these matters, where Democrats (them) are the enemy of Christianity and every slight however small must be countered in the strongest possible terms (see: 'the war on Christmas' and other stupid shit.)

Would the outrage have been greater if it was Obama instead of Biden? Absolutely, I'm not questioning that at all. I'm just saying don't think there wouldn't be outrage against Biden just because he's not black.

Oh yeah I totally get that, that was my point: it's not white privilege, it's just telling people what they want to hear.

I've been on the internet since like 1992 and I've never once capitalized it, and I don't think I've ever seen it capitalized. shrug

Been playing Diablo 2 Resurrected again, so.. Diablo 2. Especially on higher difficulties some of those areas (Durance of Hate, f.ex) are extremely maze-like and the only reliable way to navigate it is to just follow the left wall no matter what.

Otherwise, I played a demo for a game years ago that I can't remember the name of anymore that was built around non-Euclidian geometry, so walking through a door in one direction would take you to one place, but walking back in the other would take you somewhere else instead of back to where you came from and such.

Iono about the white part, Biden couldn't have pulled that off either.

Someone with some photoshop skill ought to change this to be the face from the painting Trump said he hated it and then reply to his post with it. Bonus points if you add some greasy McDonald's stains to the hat and/or robe.
