People are stupid. They like Leftist policies, but as soon as a Leftist says them, they hate it.

Maybe - and yeah this is fucking WILD but hear me out - maybe Leftism just isn’t as popular as you think it is?

That’s not being rigged, it’s a Democratic Party election. No shit someone from outside the party will have less influence.

The stupid ass Russian propaganda that you people swallowed afterwards turned you into a generation of non voters.

DWS would have ratfucked it

Conspiracy theorists are mentally ill.

Dude, I literally voted in the primary. What the fuck are you talking about?

Ok now it’s a trolley problem, except instead of a trolley it’s a US presidential election, and instead of pulling a lever you vote

I dunno if they’d take too kindly to me saying “hey, I made a personal finance community on an instance without offputting political views, y’all should all abondon this one”…

There, check out that bottom link in the description. When I click on it from my lemmy account, it tries to take me to a lemmy community (which doesn’t exist).

Nah, I was looking at it from my lemmy alt. Same deal. Here, I’ll edit it again so you can see.

For some reason, whenever I type that on fedia, it removes the “@fedia.io” part

Maybe it’s just in the post body?

!personalfinance_us@fedia.io

Haha, I got it! It’s not anywhere in the settings at all, lol. Like a hidden option. You have to go to the url “https://fedia.io/d/[instance domain name]”, like “https://fedia.io/d/lemmy.ml”. Then it will give you the ability to block, and that block will be reflected in your settings page.

So I actually forgot that I also made a fedia.io account back when I was trying multiple instances…there were literally like 100 people on fedia.io at the time so I stuck with kbin, but then kbin kinda imploded so I switched to lemmy…

We have the same issue at fedia as lemmy.cafe - single overworked administrator.

I do see comments that say it’s possible to block instances on mbin, but I don’t see any way to do that on fedia.

Another vote for blocking but not de-federating. De-federating is a nuclear option with a lot of collateral damage, and it’s pretty easy nowadays to just start screaming “pedophile” if your goal is to cause collateral damage. I’m worried that if instances start defederating in a knee-jerk reaction, it will be weaponized.

Just block it.
