    Lemmy was so much cooler before it was a cult. All this murder worship is the lamest shit ever.

      I mean this genuinely, why not just filter the words: Luigi [depending on how much you want to talk about Mario], Mangione, UHC, and depose?

      I filtered “game day,” Linux, and all of the moe communities, because I don’t care about it and it will eventually wear on me to see a bunch of stuff related to those topics.

        I don’t care if you defend mangione, I dont care if you want him to get a low sentence or have his charges brought down and commuted, but yall are literally unironically worshipping thats my fucking problem.

        And by the way thats a shit test, Donald Trump says he wants clean air and water (hes full of shit) does that mean every environmentalist is a nazi?

      Didn’t you make your account 4 months ago. How do you know that the average Lemmy user either does or doesn’t believe that political violence is acceptable?

        Right so theres a front page on every instance, if you don’t set up filters then you will see what people have upvoted for any federated instances that the instance your on has not blocked. This fucking Saint of Homocide bullshit hits every 6 hours, it seems. Some posts are selling candles, stickers, and shirts. I’m sure crosses and altars are in production.

        Beyond fucking stupid, I really expected more from this demographic, but clearly it’s still the same shit-smelling apes who walked the plains looking for blood trails 20,000 years ago.
