Quit smoking a few years back, that was an absolute bitch to do.
Still get the feeling every now and then, only ‘relapsed’ once at a funeral.

Quit smoking a few years back, that was an absolute bitch to do.
Still get the feeling every now and then, only ‘relapsed’ once at a funeral.
Would be real neat if the carrot stopped murdering children though.
Tell me your healthcare system is broken without telling me your healthcare system is broken.
Yeah this is exactly what it is.
The commenter above likely read something they disagree with on substack and has chosen to hate the entire platform because of it.
The electorate is for sure heading left, if you look into it though, our parties are not. The Labour Party (Clear favourites to win next time) have been gradually sliding right over the last 5 years, adopting more centrist and centre-right policies in an attempt to win over right-wing voters.
Many on the left in the UK are incredibly unhappy, with good reason. The leader of Labour described his current strategy as a “under-new-management, eliminate-the-left” approach.
That’s not to say that things wouldn’t be better, of course, just not ideal for many left-wing voters out there looking for progressive change.
Gotta say, wish we had this problem over here in the UK.
If it helps, you can just use something else like Lemmy and still access all kbin content, that’s what I’m currently doing.
This is unfortunately a well documented fact at this point.

For what it’s worth, in 2019 a majority of people voted for parties other than the Tories. They received 43% of the vote, and their leader at the time was Boris Johnson.
The last two Prime Ministers weren’t elected by voters, though I suppose you could argue that the majority of voters didn’t elect Boris either.
The comments I’m seeing saying something like “well you voted for this” are incredibly misguided. We have a fucking terribly archaic voting system that doesn’t serve us at all, there are several large pushes throughout the UK trying to change that.
This is interesting as I have had much the opposite effect. I very rarely see anything Linux related. Though honestly I don’t use Linux so that works just fine for me.
That hacker news bit got me, I won’t lie.
Be the change! On a real note though, I feel your pain.
Boost for Lemmy
I only run a small community surrounding my home country, but I only plan on removing things that aren’t directly related to the country or at least adjacent to. As well as anything that is largely irrelevant which I suspect of being spam.
Rest is fine, discussion is healthy. I don’t need to agree with everyone, that isn’t what this is about.
I’m gonna go with no, since I’m reading it perfectly currently.
I do kinda love this name.
Frankly I have absolutely no idea, I would encourage asking if you’re concerned though.
Can’t speak for others, but my decision to stick with lemm.ee stemmed from seeing how active the owner is, the minimal defederation and the bot & moderation policies meaning there are minimal bots, and I’ve yet to currently see much spam issues, which is nice.
Also helps that the owner Sunaurus is an active contributor to the Lemmy project as a whole, so we get patches and fixes relatively quickly.
