    I don’t know why, but this weekend lemmy.ml has been swarmed by Reddit-brained turbolibs. Some broke out their June 2023 alt accounts to vote brigade.

    Went to the protest today in my city that PSL organized, to protest against the aggression towards Venezuela. Very small turnout. Public reception was 99% positive, only one angry heckler.

    In addition to Space King being made by two guys who are openly racist and homophobic, I avoid that show like the plague because it just attracts the most rancid people imaginable.

    Learning more about the history of Ryukyu and Okinawa and how they are oppressed by Japanese occupation, I think we should use their native names instead. Ruuchuu for Ryukyu and Uchinaa for Okinawa

    Belgian prime minister just got a full, 100% support on his stance on the Russian assets by all parties. This country has never been this united about something lol.

    How do you change your account’s password? I forgot mine again lol. I don’t remember how I changed it the first time, but the Change Passwords thing under account settings isn’t helpful because you have to input your current password to create a new one. 💀

        THANK YOU!! Using a temp email is what I had to do because the one I had registered wasn’t receiving the password reset email. Since you’re an admin you should know that gmail seems to eat emails sent from this domain. I don’t mean that they go to spam, I mean that they’re entirely blocked. I wouldn’t’ve even noticed if I weren’t the one sending emails to myself.

        THANK YOU!! I pretty much exclusively use this site through jerboa, which doesn’t show that password reset link anywhere. it’s super fucking annoying that this app is still missing features from the website. It didn’t occur to me to check the desktop site while logged out.

    I’ve debated whether or not I should post this, but I’ve been feeling quite disappointed with the quality of comments on Hexbear threads recently.

    Since many threads are crossposted between here and there, I would often read the comments on both threads for different perspectives (and to be honest, for more content in general).
    In the last few weeks, however, I’ve been finding myself again and again in situations where I read the Lemmygrad thread and it’s completely fine, and then when I check the Hexbear crosspost I would find the comments to be, for lack of a better phrase, an absolute dumpster fire.

    Not sure if it’s just me, maybe unlucky coincidences, or something of a pattern that I’ve just missed.
    I don’t mean to be negative, it’s just been bothering me lately.

      hexbear is a “big tent” thing mostly made up of am*ricans, a lot of them aren’t marxists, as shown by their stance on llms among other things
      i wouldn’t take most of them too seriously

    lol petro is such a gigachad, he released his bank statements on his own will with charges at a strip club and some fancy store lmao. He is now daring his opposition to also release their bank statements.

    “I am not a drug dealer, i just like Gucci and strippers.”

    EU is fuming about Belgium not willing to use frozen Russian asset money to further fund Ukraine. Basically the only good thing our government is doing now.

      The best part it that Belgium isn’t refusing outright. They are just demanding that the EU agree to pay the damages in any law suits and the EU is saying “we can’t take on that risk.” So the EU knows it is illegal and would get them sued but they want the Belgians to take the fall.

      I swear when NATO breaks up Europe is going to be a slaughter house as all these petty grievances will have nothing holding them back.

        It would. It is also illegal and I believe Russia would be in their right to demand payments once war would stop. So it’s only natural for Belgium to not want to face a 165 billion repayment to Russia at one point.
