Dude a Presa Canario couldn’t take my short ass down, I have weapons, plural. On me. Always.

Most dogs just want the pets though, you’d be surprised how much a well placed “awww who’s a good dog” will work on most of them.

Am short, fuck tall women (not exclusively, but repeatedly in both contexts [multiple taller women multiple times each]) without lying about height (doesn’t hurt that my shoe size is 2+ avg for my height, if you catch my drift.) Go for it guys many women aren’t that shallow, and for the ones that are:

I’ll still be the first to call out bodyshaming short dudes and ask how much a bodyshaming woman weighs (“really fatty, no short guys? The taller woman I’m currently fucking is 110 soaking wet, which she often is for my short ass”)[that said I have also had sex with bigger women and enjoyed it and would again, but they were nice people, fatshaming is just eye for an eye fun, not for real people only shortshamers.]

Sorry for the ADHD parenthesis because every thought has multiple bonus thoughts, but body shaming either needs to be all ok (not preferred) or not ok to do to men either (preferred.)* I can meet in the middle and plastic surgery shame all genders, but that’s it (at least that is an intentional choice.)

*Retaliatory shaming to make a point aside

I mean at this point I’m fairly confident you’re just trolling. This is about following lemmy community (sublemmy, if you’re a philistine) rules. Simple as. If you can’t follow the rules get the fuck out, how is this news? NIMBY my dick.

Xmpp. Looks less polished, but works better, and isn’t mostly controlled by the ex-Amdocs Matrix Foundation.

Tbf it’s still better than locking it behind discord but you are very correct.

Go team Codeberg!

Oh I do downvote it a lot and ignore as much as I can, but on a post about it where it is being discussed I think it’s appropriate to discuss it. And so, discussion.

Murder is “going to fucking happen” too, doesn’t mean I have to “just ignore it bro” instead of saying “murderers are dicks and should stop murdering.”

I’m capable both of wanting a place to escape politics, and talking about how such spaces should be respected, and when the evangelists aren’t spreading their gospel where it doesn’t belong I can sometimes actually visit such spaces. This is the “talking about how such spaces should be respected” part, which happens to be on topic for the post about how such spaces should be respected. Nice try hun.

Well, “the post here” is talking about posting political things in showerthoughts, a community with a rule saying “no politics,” and yes I’m very angry that I can’t even get a short respite from politics even where it’s disallowed by name. It’s incredibly annoying and contributing to political burnout not just for me but many others here too. You repeating the same line as those that ignore the community rules, “it’s happening regardless,” isn’t super helpful, and on a post where they’re all here defending their evangelism, yeah you came off as defending it too.

I don’t care if “it’s happening regardless,” when I go to c/dogpics to avoid it for a brief break I don’t need it there too, thus cheating me out of my break. It’s the internet equivalent of my boss making me work through my break at work and it’s just as annoying. Have all the opinions you want, just don’t post them in some community with “no opinions” in the sidebar and we’re all good.

You have a nice day too pal.

Sigh, counting is just too much for some people. Turns out c/showerthoughts has more than one rule: must be showerthought. That is rule 1 but you’ll notice rule 3 is quite clear:

And they even offer an alternative appropriate community right there. So, y’know fuck off and stuff.

Again you accuse me of what you yourself are doing. This is a post about not putting political things in communities that have a rule “no politics.” It’s absolutely about invading c/cutepicsofpuppies with Trump is bad posts, and instead putting it in one of the many political lemmy communities where that shit actually belongs. You inventing this “no politics on lemmy at all” strawman is all you. What sidebar do you think the rule is in if not lemmy’s ffs.

So to catch you up to speed, ignoring the rules in a lemmy comm’s sidebar and posting politics where it says “no politics” does absolutely fuck all to deal with the “echo chambers” of which you speak. C/cutedogpics is not an echo chamber and therefore posting Trump bad there is simply breaking community rules to annoy people here already. If you actually want to affect those in the echo chambers of which you speak, then yes, you have to go there. Those people aren’t on TrumpSocial, Rumble, Twitter, and Threads and also only c/cutedogpics on lemmy, they’re not here at all.

You’re the one with the false equivalencies, saying that “don’t post politics to lemmy comms that say no politics” equates to an echo chamber, then you say “if you want to affect those actually in an echo chamber you have to go to that echo chamber” is me saying “get politics off lemmy entirely.” It’s honestly laughable, I can’t tell if you’re sincerely misunderstanding the concept that hard or if you’re maliciously misunderstanding it, but either way it’s pathetic.

Then how can we trust that you’re telling us what you actually think now? Maybe you do think it’s cringe and want to encourage old people to do it just because that is funny. I’m on to you sonny boy.

Following.

Ok, so would you like me to follow you around lemmy and constantly remind you of your kid’s surgery on every single post, or would you like to continue being able to talk about things related to whatever community you’re in so that maybe for a brief second you can have a bit of peace?

I’d be willing to do that for you, if you feel like you’re missing out and like people shoving politics where it doesn’t belong just because “it’s here nonetheless,” I can shove your personal issues where they don’t belong for you and hopefully that cheers you up.

Tbf I wouldn’t complain about dog politics in a dog community, even though it would be nice if I didn’t have to argue against animal cruelty and instead could just look at a pic of a cute doggy, at least it fits the comm. At the same time, if the comm rules decide that dog politics are still politics and therefore banned, then follow the comms rules instead of trying to bully everyone into your rules, which doesn’t sound very leftist to me.

Do I need to see posts about ICE in the dog comm? Fuck no.

Honestly I’m surprised I have to explain that, it seems like common sense. Just keep shit related to the comm, and post other shit elsewhere.

Like, should I start posting about Slackware in c/news and c/pics and c/dogs, or should I keep it in one of the many linux comms it belongs in? Ok, now, take that and apply it to everything else.

Yay, we did it, we did it, hooray!

Me too, I’ll lyk when y’all start following the rules and keeping politics where it belongs and not where it doesn’t.

If you are posting your “other country politics” in a comm that says “no political posts” then yes your post should be removed from that comm. Go post it in one of the 23 quadrillion political communities instead. You want me to post about FedoraKDE issues I’m having in c/pics or c/EpsteinFiles, or should I post it in one of the 40 godzillion Linux comms?

Probably the reason you’re seeing mostly US politics get removed is because they won’t shut the fuck up and stop posting it in unrelated comms or without checking if someone else beat them to it thus making theirs a redundant double in a comm. People from like, Luxembourg or fucking Cambodia, just aren’t doing that type of thing. And tbh if they were it might slip by on language barrier alone.

Brb gonna post this in a political community, because community rules don’t matter the other way so I should be good, right?

Hey I’m in here fighting with you on your side, don’t lump all Americans in with the Hexbear and Grad users evading defeds (defeds that happened because they couldn’t keep political posts where they fucking belong, coincidence? I think not.)

Politics doesn’t belong in apolitical communities, American, Brazilian, Lithuanian or goddamn Laotian idgaf.

To some degree American politics dominate because there are just so many of us and shutting up isn’t our style, sure, but at least they need to keep that shit out of apolitical escapist spaces. Everyone deserves a break sometimes (and it’d probably do those assholes the most good, tbh).

Good, go. Each one of you that does is one step closer to having a functioning platform that abides by community rules and we can have our political discourse and escape from it too when we want to.

I don’t want manicotti right now, I want a burrito, doesn’t mean I never eat manicotti or that manicotti is bad, but when I order a burrito and receive manicotti from the Mexican restaurant, yeah, I’m fucking pissed, no shit. They shouldn’t even have that shit. Now apply that to lemmy and shut the fuck up.

No u, you’re the one who, on a conversation about not putting political things in rules-specified apolitical communities, decided to equate “talking about it in the appropriate place” to “echo chamber blah blah blah there must be no brief respite from my political posts even on communities that are specifically for other things despite there being mostly fucking political communities here.” As if posting on lemmy comms that are unrelated actually does fuck all for anyone in an actual echo chamber that might need to hear it. Go tell Rumble ffs, or goddamn threads/bluesky even, lemmy is already the echo chamber that knows all the other posts on lemmy it isn’t that big dude.
