Whataboutism is a form of informal fallacy.

What about people who are just left?

That makes sense. Thanks.

If you can't turn someone red, just make them a single issue voter.

Voting blue can hurt sometimes as a gun-owning Texan, but I do what I must. I didn't always have that mentality.

They aren't producing anything. They're reposters, not content creators.

Poverty in first world countries is a new phenomenon that has only emerged in the past 10 to 20 years.

Sarcasm aside.... yes, the working class is still being exploited. It didn't take Twitter tier propaganda to say it.

A lot of the "interesting" posts on Reddit were created by bots. A LOT of bots.

I was permanently banned from streaming (had thousands of followers at the time) for animal abuse after asking another streamer if they milk their goats, then I was permanently site banned for harassment after arguing with them about it. Don't give me an excuse to get started.

Maybe just me personally, but if they're gonna put "blend" on the bottle I'd be more inclined to assume it's intended as a selling point rather than a begrudging legal requirement.

Many thanks.

I heard about that. I wouldn't even buy beeswax from Amazon because I heard all the horror stories of even some of the highly rated products being cut with Paraffin, which gives me headaches. I could give you a list.

I've heard about Lemmy for a while, and I just joined after getting permanently banned for "threatening violence" after posting "nice sub here" in a new subreddit. I wish I were joking, but it personally doesn't surprise me that much when considering my past experiences. The appeal was denied.

Reddit's most dedicated and longstanding users can only tolerate so many nonsensical and frivolous permanent account bans over the years before they flock to that beautiful forest sprouting up across the river. Lemmy should continue to grow because people like me intend to be here for the life of it.

My last few months on Reddit were spent tracking bot accounts, and taking note of suspicious patterns of certain subreddits refusing to take action against blatant propaganda bots. I'm glad to be past that, at least for now, and I wish the users I'm leaving behind luck. Things were nuts.
