I keep thinking about this because it's so fucking funny. "We've invented a way to reintroduce some of the emotional nuance innate in vocal communication and add further symbolic references to text!" "My god, you're an imbecilic caveman! You're destroying civilization!"

Check out the business lifecycle. "Enshittification" occurs after a business reaches maturity and has to squeeze more money out of its users or decline. Facebook, Reddit, and Twitter are all businesses, so they follow this cycle - Lemmy and Mastodon are not so they do not. That's not to say that bad moderation can't crater a user base, but it's not inevitable like it is with businesses.

However, please keep this in mind - that being a Nazi sympathizer does not automatically invalidate one's opinions on other topics.

If you think that Nazis are worth sympathy, then you've demonstrated that your decision-making ability is warped enough that it does invalidate your other opinions.

We do a new Megathread every day and lock the old one to keep discussion current. We wouldn't lock a whole megathread because of one unimaginative impotent weasel Nazi sympathizer.

Insulting my intelligence isn't a good way to make your case, especially on a topic which you are so flagrantly ignorant about - everything I have said here has been well-documented, and given your attitude I am disinclined to explain it directly. Instead I invite you to educate yourself on the atrocities committed against my people - even a cursory inspection of the Wikipedia page of the Great famine will show no exaggeration on my part.

Furthermore, you're shifting the goalposts. Your ideology committed great atrocities against my people. Why should my ideology be treated differently from yours, if that's the litmus test?

I don't have to imagine it. My family was the victim of capitalist genocide, my family did have graves defiled. They were Irish during the famine and had the temerity to continue to be Catholic when they immigrated to America where they still had to be second-class citizens for another hundred years. By your own logic, why should I be civil toward liberal capitalists who defend the same system that tried to explicitly eradicate my family and their culture?

Daily reminder to the reminder - the U.S. has to replace those supplies with new stuff which does cost money.
