Don’t worry I’ll remind you of this on your next repost from /r/news and maybe you’ll be able to recognize your hypocrisy and self-centeredness then.

Funny that you have so much to say right up until you face even the slightest scrutiny just like in the other post.

You’re making it quite clear that this is all about you and making everyone else conform to your will. When someone pushes back, you suddenly act obtuse and derail the discussion to avoid having to give the ruse away by explaining yourself beyond some superficial “Reeeee! Bots!!” justification

Upset that your daily screenshots of the mod log aren’t getting much engagement? Perhaps you’re jealous that your reposts from /r/news aren’t getting as much traction as time2lose’s reposts? What engagement are you generating other than your current crusade against this specific user?

Edit: its also interesting that not only have you started a crusade against users for posting content that you don’t agree with (even though you don’t hold yourself to the same standard as evidenced by all your own reposts), but you’ve also started a community for you to start a crusade against mods for making decisions that you don’t agree with. There seems to be a pattern here where everything revolves around you and everyone needing to meet your demands.

Every single post listed in the screenshot shows engagement. Furthermore, communities like /funny are always going to be populated with stuff that has been reposted all across the internet because its such a generic topic that requires the content to actually be somewhat funny. Unless you have some resident comedians lurking here, you aren’t going to find much original funny content.

The solution is for all these people complaining to post new, original content every day and give lots of engagement with each one. Since that takes a shit ton of effort and most people work and have lives outside of the internet, they’re unwilling to do that because it would be a full time job, but they’ll still complain about it and demand that someone else fix it for them.

You’re not battling anyone for engagement because you’re not posting anything yourself. All you can offer is hyptheticals with no supporting evidence.

Why don’t you go hang out in /askscience or /askhistorians with Portnou if you want all organic content. He and his multiple personalities are posting there dozens of times per day and those communities are just popping off with content and activity.

You can run in dirt, rocks, and grass along the shoulder. You can only rollerblade on smooth surfaces like roads.

Typical. Whining and blustering about some imagined problem and then acting completely obtuse about said “problem” under the slightest bit of scrutiny after also stating that you’re unwilling to contribute to the solution that you offered up yourself.

We get it you just want to complain and feel like the victim of something in this imagined tragedy.

If you don’t want to see “reddit posts” then what are you doing on a site that was built to be a clone of reddit?

Also how are you so easily able to identify “reddit posts” unless you’re spending a considerable amount of time on reddit to be so familiar with them?

You’re complaining about this user posting content from reddit yet then go on to say it’s “pointless” to post anything yourself, so you’re saying youre unwilling to contribute to the solution that you seek, yet you also want to discourage others from posting unless they conform to your specific guidelines.

Killing it how? You’re so adamant about not posting any content yourself and don’t want anyone else posting content, so where does that leave Lemmy? An empty husk with no new posts. That’s going to kill Lemmy.

Furthermore this stuff was popular on reddit so why wouldn’t it be popular everywhere else? You’re acting like reddit consists of a different species of human beings with their own unique taste.

So you’re unwilling to find and post your own content but then complain when other people do it because they’re not doing it the right way?

That seems like a legitimate reason to do so. There seemed to be absolutely no reason to do this in this specific situation though as it didn’t accomplish anything and actually made the angle of the hose much worse than it would have been using literally any other solution.

Probably because this made the hose kink and they had to disconnect it all and run it over the car instead while the people inside the building suffocated to death.

The car isn’t even parked in front of the hydrant and smashing the windows out accomplished absolutely nothing here as you can see the outlet they connected to is pointing toward the hood and bumper of the car and not the windows. You sound like the type of person who calls people “criminals” if they ever criticize the police for misconduct.

I was just talking about something along these lines with people recently and it was pointed out that the further back in time you go, the more things you had to do which filled your time. Instead of ordering clothes online, you’d have to make them yourself. Instead of grocery shopping, you’d grow your own food. Instead of driving, you’d walk or ride an animal.

Im curious why the headline says $31k but the article says $39k

They use this same tactic over and over and I find it surprising that more people don’t immediately recognize what they’re doing.

What innovations are lacking specifically? I dont know of any features unique to Chinese brands. It seems more like you think every company should only be selling EVs for dirt cheap prices, but that isn’t realistic becausw those aren’t real prices and EVs aren’t yet practical for everyone which is why they make up such a small percentage of sales here still (though this number climbs with each quarter).

So you think the entire world’s auto manufacturers outside of China are incompetent and inefficient? People always act like the only vehicles sold in the US are domestic brands when they don’t even make up a majority here.
