    I can still remember how the news in fucking Germany changed. Suddenly, once Biden was in office, we didn’t get US politics in our evening news multiple times per week anymore. The United States became silent again.

        I long for the days when I thought government was boring and not worth my time. I know too much now too go all the way back, but it’s refreshing to have someone just quietly running the nation without starting a shitstorm every time their ego gets a little bit bruised.

          It was always worth your time. The whole boomer mentality of not talking about politics is how we got into this mess.

          But I’m glad you’re with us now. The sane need all the help we can get.

      Careful, winning an argument with a mod earns a free lifetime ban.

      So just like the old subreddit then? Weird how that piece of culture sticks with them.

        The difference is that on Reddit I got suspended from the entire site for “report abuse” because I (correctly) reported misinformation in r/conservative and it hurt the snowflake mods’ fee-fees.

        In other words, Lemmy is structurally superior because there are no fascist admins with the power to ban you from the entire network.

          Lmao, I reported genocidal comments in r/worldnews and was site banned for the same reason.

          I had 4 reports total, 2 were acted on and the other 2 were pretty blatant calls to violence.

          It’s actually what made me quit Reddit.

    I’m pretty old. Biden has been the best president of my lifetime.

    He should be viewed as a national hero for beating Donnie in 2020 and making it stick, which was probably harder than it looked. The US President starting a coup has lots of strings to pull.
