Yes. They moved here. Have done the same things. Pissed many people off. Thankfully this time they can be easily contained due to how Lemmy works. They could just grow up and not be an embarrassment to the left. But that’s apparently too big an ask.
God I hope not. Their subtle trolling is fantastic. Flys over so many people’s heads.
Maybe because you didn’t observe it happening. Reddit admins were busy as hell cleaning the place up. All kinds of rightwing subs like some of the incel gathering spots. Some for straight up Nazis like frenworld or whatever it was where they were using honk honk as code for heil Hitler. When the admins made site changes due to complaints about right wing subs, Chapo made the list because they engaged in similar activities with the main complaint being brigading other subs. Their mods refused to change to meet the new rules. The admins eventually removed some of the mods. They still refused to change afterward. Which eventually got them shut down.
Hardly, the mods kept refusing to do anything about the brigading of other subs. To the point the admins stepped in and removed a couple of them. Then afterward the sub decided they’d rather go private than comply. At this point most of back and forth is wiped out because the sub is locked. But there was far more going on for a while than their claim that one post shut them down immediately. They had already been in trouble for a couple months.

Tons of them on r/space. They and the people who have become Boeing experts since February.
While true there was a lot more behind the decision than that final post. They had been fighting with the admins for a long time.
No because it just landed perfectly fine as even NASA mission leads figured would be the case.
In very small numbers. Car recycling/scrapping is a huge industry in developed nations. One that the big manufacturers support for a couple reasons. Main one being to maintain artificial price flooring. If used cars are expensive and harder to come by, people give in and buy new. The manufacturers knew this. But it didn’t occur for them to actively engage in such practices until Cash for Clunkers happened in the US.
Also, low income countries already get their cars from manufacturers people in western nations have never heard of. China, India, and even Iran export new cars to these nations. Options that would be easier to obtain and maintain than something like a 20 year old GM SUV never sold directly in that market.
The author’s guess at potential future concerns doesn’t seem reflective of reality around car ownership economics. Plus China is already getting new EVs to some of these markets at artificially low costs.
There were other things that went down to get them on probation. I can tell you’re gladly defending them though. Which is ridiculous so have a nice day.
TIL Reddit admins were confederate slavers
What you’re not accounting for is how they curate who is allowed to post in the first place.
That’s the whole point of an echo chamber yes. You can say whatever you want without being challenged by other viewpoints and make anything seem plausible.
Coming up with theory in an echo chamber isn’t hard.
Largely because they moved to different subs.
The Chapo crew didn’t want to calm down with all the threats of violence and other ridiculous antics. So they left completely.
Yeah they immediately took over Conspiracy and consolidated the hold on Conservative. Made me really sad as conspiracy used to have some incredible rabbit hole posts. Then one day it was just TD all over again.
They were banned around the same time as The Donald because everyone was tired of the shit both groups were doing.
If you’ve heard of Chapo Trap House that’s them. If not, most of those kids/idiots/trolls are the type of terminally online fake leftists that give other leftist a bad image in general. They were so ridiculous Reddit got tired of their shit and banned them a couple years back.
There are plenty of people on Lemmy right now today who would still say you are.
Hey you should really try a different talking point. It didn’t work yesterday either.
I believe those are two separate things. The 4 years being for how long this contract will stand. And the wage increase being immediate change to the pay grade tiers.
But we’ll have to see when details are out. I’m only guessing based off other union contracts I’ve had experience with.
