  • Jonathan Ross should never have been put back on duty after his first incident. He fought in Iraq as he served for the Indiana National Guard and had a long, high stress, career for Border Patrol. He should have been recognized as needing PTSD therapy and a career change after his June incident. He didn’t have to be a murderer, he was set up to be one by his superiors at ICE.

    Not to absolve him of personal responsibility because he is a murderer. But I have to think it was known that he could do this and he was pushed to do it









  • .ml is moderated to be ideologically one sided. Pro-capitalism is literally not allowed and will deleted. Making a pro-west or anti-China or Russia comment is like a bat signal for .ml admins and users alike to dogpile on your comment.

    It’s their right to moderate their instance how they see fit, but removing content on ideological grounds is going to result in people thinking what’s left is propaganda.

    For the most part I like .ml users, I don’t care for the admin team and moderator decisions and that’s why I’m not on that instance. I could care less about the fact my instance is defederated from hexbear users or grad users. They do want to be polarizing and live in a propaganda bubble


  • Rather than hard-coding an upvote to comment ratio, changing the default sort to effectively put a ceiling on how raw upvotes per comment might be a better way of accomplishing the same goal. And lets it be optional.

    An upvote is essentially a boost/re-post on mastodon which says I like this content and think it should be shared. Comments or discussion aren’t always needed for content to be good

    I mean 1.) the network is still pretty small and so the ratio of creators are gonna be low because the audience is low.

    2.) the discussions here are still good and engaging. Unless you mean that everyone is a leftist and therefore the same. That’s not even true unless you only follow communities on Lemmy.ml and that’s only because their admins will remove comments for not being leftist
