    I hate this argument, that criminal people sonehow have the ability to do anything anywhere unhindered by everything, and so making laws will only cause more crimes. It is the same type of thinking when people say “masks don’t work”, 90% efficacy is WORTH HAVING.

    It is asinine. Making laws and properly enforcing them would absolutely reduce mass shootings. Some people certainly could still purchase unregistered guns illegally, but it would be a small fraction of the people who would/will do it under our current laws.



  • I think too many people are worried about “what is better for the site”.

    I think lemmy would stay nicer if it grows slowly and doesn’t try to attract necessarily every demographic under the sun, like reddit tried to. Worrying about stuff like “high quality content”, reposts, and maximum community engagement seems to me like it is a speed run to toxicity and bloat.

    Also this community is practically explicitly for reposts, so maybe you would improve your personal experience by just blocking it?


  • I’ve seen some of your comments the last few days, you seem to be using lemmy a lot!

    It looks like you have picked a name/theme for your profile that you plan to stick to. Do you think you are offering lemmy something it needed by trying to “troll” people? It was certainly something reddit had a lot of, but I can’t agree that it belongs here.




  • Owners are owners. I can’t have too much sympathy if a group of disenfranchised people, who have never had the opportunity to own anything, don’t distinguish between hyper capitalists and regular vanilla capitalists. Both are pieces of the system that denies people the value of their labor.
