Im joining in on the reddit ditching thing, and was kinda worried at first that i wouldnt be able to like use it the way i did reddit as it feels like a whole new place, but after engaging with posts and people and actually being a part of lemmy rather than being lurk mode all the time i was pleasantly surprised with how easy it is to become a member of the community, theres a reasonable amount of subs (or whatever the other word for em is) that fit my interests, enough linux content and shitposting for my liking, and the overall random posts made by people equally fed up with Leddit. (also i admit i used reddit a little cus there was this post on the fedora sub showing how to fix a sound issue i been having after a recent update)

      You think that it’s equivalent to saying the Earth is flat to wonder about the logic of complaining about “Russians” on this website? I was pretty careful about my inferences, though I invited you to show me my error and still would be interested to see where my mistake was!

        @GarbageShootAlt2@lemmy.ml World News@lemmy.ml China tightens access to Tiananmen Square while 32 are detained in Hong Kong

        10,000 is absurd and it’s a disgrace that the absolute bullshit reporting that some hack journos gave at the time is still treated credibly. Do you think there were machine guns on roofs and tanks deliberately pulping bodies, too?

        And this is your first post, of a 2 days old account

        Go shill to someone else. You think people are naive?

          Apparently they are naive, since that claim that the death toll was 10,000 was refuted even by the person who first gave it down to a fraction of what it was, which brings it still closer, but still far above, other estimates even from other western journalists.

          Also I think calling me a “shill” is breaking the rules, though I hope your comment stays up to demonstrate that you believed what you posted to be a home run.

            Report me then, I’d really like to know.
