  • Where’s “here”?

    Lemmy doesn’t have centralized moderation or administration. You’d have to bring it up with the admins (or mods, if applicable) of the server that it’s hosted on.

    Otherwise, your only recourse is to inquire with the admins of your server (lemmy.world) to see if they’re interested in defederating from that instance due to the kinds of communities they have.







  • I wonder if the people has believed the 5g conspiracy fantasies feel remotely foolish

    They don’t. In fact, they don’t believe they were wrong. They’ve cherry-picked their array of half-truths and benign or unprovable conspiracy theories and have never reevaluated since. Or they’ve morphed their beliefs into cheap versions of the nonsense they once took as true.

    Even with the covid vaccine conspiracy theories. They were saying that everyone who took the vaccine would die.

    To maintain their “rightness”, when questioned, they will point to the statistics of the non-zero number of people who did die from taking the vaccine.

    When pointed out that the actual number is much closer to 0 than the 100% that they had been saying in 2021 or so, they will argue that there’s a coverup or something. Or that they didn’t literally mean 100% of people.

    Obviously they meant whatever would make them right. Some people can hardly fathom the fact that they believed something to be incorrect.








  • This is my problem with American products. The standards are too low! Sugar is replaced with corn. The cream in ice cream is replaced with oil. Chocolate is replaced with unrelated fats. And it’s all legally allowed to be sold as what they’re a facsimile of!

    At best, there are names like “chocolatey”. Bullshit.

    My least favourite alternative that Nestle loves is just leaving what it is off the package. So here in Canada, it doesn’t say ice cream. It doesn’t say anything unless you look for the fine print.

    But it’s in an ice cream carton sitting a metre away from real ice cream. This is false marketing by omission. If I wrote the laws, this would be illegal.
