I didnt say that lemmy.ml mods havent been overbearing with their moderation i said "i havent seen anyone even claiming its been used against them or pointing to their post being permanently removed from the modlogs unjustly".

if you want me to spell it out slowly i can:

• lemmy.ml mods have abused admin powers at some points
• it is possible that the lemmy.ml people could abuse this admin power
• as far as im aware there is no evidence that anyone has misused this specific admin power
• this specific admin power has been used to remove child porn and dox info
• since this admin power has been used for good reasons and hasnt been used for bad reasons it shouldnt be removed as an admin power

well i havent seen anyone even claiming its been used against them or pointing to their post being permanently removed from the modlogs unjustly, only people saying that maybe it could be used in this way, so no i dont think that the ML tankie front are using it that way. and since i know it has been used for its stated purpose to fully remove actual doxx information and child porn i dont see why it should be removed as a feature, at very least until there's some evidence of it being used maliciously

all instance admins have the ability to do this on their own instance, the functionality was added to deal with doxx info being posted so it wouldnt be visible even in the modlog, and it was used a lot to deal with the CSAM spam attack too - basically whenever this happens the relevant message will still be in the modlog but it will be changed to "Permanently Removed". Currently there's no evidence or even accusation that this functionality has been used for anything except the stated purposes though so i wouldnt worry too much.

I think micro plastics in our anything will probably be an issue

Good.

that sounds so cool ngl, finally an actually good use for ai

Tucker Carlson: pushes far right conspiracy theories about the "scary transsexuals" transing kids and great replacement theory stuff, driving up hate crimes for years

Nothing happens

Tucker Carlson: interviews president of the bad country

Suddenly people want him executed for treason or whatever

Like I don't give a shit what happens to tucker, but if the main problem you have with Tucker Carlson is that he's a "traitor to America" or whatever, you're a shit fucking ally. Like I unironically think most cishet liberals would be fine with Tucker Carlson if he said all the same stuff he normally does except he ended every segment with "and remember to vote for Joe Biden" and stopped criticising Ukraine.

actually, promoting pedophile nazi instances is bad

oh ok, i stand corrected on that. the point still remains though that i dont see why people need to wait for lab grown meat to become affordable to just stop eating meat, when imo, even when its cheap enough it still wont be very good outside of certain things like burgers and sausages because of the texture (i.e. not being able to mimic how the fat feels when in between the flesh) not being able to match up to the original.

and even when it does enter the market it will probably only be available for like for upper middle class people for years and years

For the vast vast majority of people eating corpses is not a medical necessity or vital cultural ritual or something, (and no i dont consider just really liking the taste of flesh to be a cultural neccessity). Yes i've tried two of the lab grown meat brands out of curiosity (i think the first was beyond burger and the second one was an impossible burger) and both were simultaneously more expensive than the standard vegan/vegetarian and even the normal meat based versions of the food and tasted worse.

Like i dont think that consuming lab grown meat is evil or anything but I do think theres a lot of people who focus on lab grown meat being too expensive as an excuse for why they're not vegan/vegetarian when its actually pretty mid, like i know a ton of vegans and i cant think of a single one who regularly eats lab meat, most have tried it a few times but no one really likes it too much

Just doing normal veganism is a far more realistic proposal than everyone eating expensive lab grown meat that tastes rubbish

Yeah, I much prefer Lemmy to Reddit, it's nice to be in a thread and not just see people repeating a load of dumb jokes they've all seen a thousand times back to each other like it gets any funnier the 1,001st time they hear it. And like that's leaving aside how right wing it is and there was always a certain current of racism just below the surface in basically any politics sub and a load of popular seemingly apolitical subs
