And if you don’t like Kursk there are free accommodations at the Gulags.

Would be great if some of them ended up in the Russian Gulag

Julian Assange is a bootlicker and Kremlin stooge who sold us out to the American and Russian billionaires. The Mueller Report proved he was explicitly trying to get Treason Trump elected and working with Putin to push disinformation to that end.

The real liberal slogan would be KAG - Keep America Great (by defeating the neofascist movement trying to take us down)

Curious, coming from a LW account

Why are you curious. On a decentralized platform, It matters where you post TO, not where you post FROM. Anybody can easily switch to posting from another platform.

Thanks for the list!

I’ve heard bad things about hexbear and beehaw. But I looked at these other two.

!politics@sh.itjust.works – unfortunately too many dumb restrictions.

Rule: Title must match the article headline <-- definitely a deal killer because often journalists use dumb headlines or leave the most important things out of the headline.

Rule Recent (Past 30 Days) <-- also a deal killer. Relevant is more important the recent. They are not the same things. “Recent” is only an imperfect proxy for “relevant”.

usa@midwest.social – We have a winner!

Rule: Be respectful and civil. No racism/bigotry/hateful speech. <-- perfect

I would also welcome suggestions for “news” groups outside of lemmy.world and lemmy.ml. usnews@lemy.lol is okay so far but I’m always looking for possible alternatives.

It doesn’t matter where your account is. If someone kills your account you can quickly switch to another lemmy instance and resub to all your communities.

I have had content nuked first from news@lemmy.world and then from politics@lemmy.world and as a result I rarely use them to submit content. I specifically went to politics@lemmy.ml because politics@lemmy.world was censoring my content.

Or are you just saying its too big?

It’s too big. And it has dumb restrictions like no video content. But also, I had a very popular posting just completely nuked by the mod of politics@lemmy.world and the entire advanced discussion was suddenly lost, forcing me to recreate the discussion on politics@lemmy.ml. Ever since I’ve been posting content to lemmy.ml instead of lemmy.world. Mainly important things missing from politics@lemmy.world or that they took down.

But aside from all that, we absolutely need redundancy on lemmy for major stuff like news and politics. Mods will abuse their power because they all want to “control the experience” instead of just do the basics. I’ve also had content nuked for no reason on news@lemmy.world also and as a result I mostly use usnews@lemy.lol instead although I’m open for alternate news site suggestions too.

You just make an announcement on the community, or on !newcommunities@lemmy.world if you are splitting from a power tripping mod.

How does this work? Are you just talking about starting a new group on the same server?

We need large “sibling” instances rather than monoliths like .world, which is to say nothing of the politics of the instance.

Absolutely 1000%

This also highlights the destructiveness of toxic moderation. There is plenty of it here too

I can’t believe that lemmy mods/admins still think they have the luxury of making bone headed moves in a decentralized network. I am determined to get around this and it is the entire reason I am on a decentralized system. We vote with our feet and in the long term it will all work out. I am looking for suggestions for a politics group that is not lemmy.world and not lemmy.ml.

Geez even with decentralization we still have people making bone headed decisions. What is the best/strongest politics group that is not lemmy.ml nor lemmy.world?

Geez I can’t believe a major group was nuked just like that. I never noticed anything about it being unmoderated but thank you for providing the explanation.

Yep. Ohio is full of Union troops. Although so are the other 49 states.

“Sometimes I view members of the elite with an almost primal scorn.” In an April post on X, Vance, who graduated Yale Law School in 2013

This primal bootlicker views all members of the wealthy elites as worthy of gigantic GOP tax cuts.

I’m sorry that you are an emotional cripple and who can’t communicate like a normal person. Get some help.

What a novel and radical idea you just had! Instead of denying reality and facts, learn about additional facts. Congratulations on leveling up.

You’re a huge dumbasshole.

I hope you get paid for shillimg.

Would be nice to be paid for helping people leave reddit. But I’m sure the US Bureau of Labor Statistics don’t care who reads their output. They are only paid to collect and publish the data.

What about prior 2 years?

I dunno. If you think that is more important than last year’s data, then why don’t you look up that information…from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics data.

The employees of the US Bureau of Labor Statistics favorite beverage is likely coffee actually. Don’t know what it is you smoke, but you should consider quitting, and then come outside to see the real world of reality. Some sunshine would be good for your health.

Real wages are still below inflation.

That is impossible since ‘real wages’ are the difference between nominal wages and inflation.

Nominal wage growth is what is above inflation.

Which is another way to say that real wages (after inflation) are going up.
