It was open under prior management. He did a good job of keeping it open. I have no idea where he sat politically and he defended the conservative community many times. He liked the diversity of ideas. Not sure he agreed with the conversations but he felt they should happen. That is why I like him so much. Ideas should be discussed. He also called people out on the Nazis claims.

Ella was one of the main causes as to why they are shutting down, that and bird boy. You can't put radical people in charge of your moderate instance and not expect it to blow up

Well the left has always had a Nazi problem. The ideologies lign up pretty well. It’s weird when they call republicans Nazis. Since we did we become advocates for trade unions, pensions and national healthcare?

Idiots don’t realize Nazis we’re a political party.

Until Lemmy is able to manage the angry incel population, they will struggle.

What is funny, is that it was one of the top communities and after the change, it dropped towards the bottom.

Diversity of ideas is a good thing. The problem is that most admins want echo chambers, which is why Lemmy is struggling as a whole. If everyone is just circle jerking each other, it gets old real quick.

I stopped donating after they shut down the conservative community. I know many of the liberals stopped as well. They wanted a place to engage with conservatives and have meaningful discussions. Calling Elon's had gesture a nazi move just showed how bad the new admins were . 1. The photo was missed. 2. It was a joke meme from a liberal show. 3. Shutting down the forum over a missed, joke meme just showed they didn't want any real discussions; they wanted an echo chamber. They just wanted to determine what is the truth. Many of the liberals were pissed because it showed they could be next. That if they disagreed with an admin, they wouldn't be warned, they would have their content deleted or be banned.

The fediverse should be place for open discussions and not echo chambers.

And that’s a fair criticism. Sometimes we use terms vaguely. I am a veteran of the 1st gulf war but I wasn’t in the army during the war. I joined after the war but we will are considered veterans.

My friend is a veteran of Vietnam but her served in the Mediterranean Sea.

When I think of a holocaust survivor. I think of someone who survived the camps. Otherwise everyone who lived during that time is a survivor since they rounded up a lot of people. Jews, priest, homosexuals, Slavic people, etc.

People don’t grasp the size of the camps or the number of people killed outside of the Jewish people.

It truly was a horror that should never be forgotten.

That is an interesting take and I can't say I disagree. When I think of a holocaust survivor, I think of someone like Viktor Frankl. He lived in a concentration camp and survived it. I am not trying to bash this woman in any way but the people who survived the camps are different. I have friends who had families survive the camps; they were not Jewish but Polish.
I think people often forget the scale of the camps and the number of people who were put there for many reasons.

Fuck China

When you create an echo chamber and have strange, arbitrary rules, you end up destroying your base. Sunaurus got that, he rocked, he has a good vision for fediverse. When you try to micromanage and don't let people have conversations, you will burn yourself out but also kill the community.

Midsommer was creepy but just like Hereditary, the story was eh. Bo is afraid was Eh. His stories are pretty lame but everything else is good. I think it makes the average person feel like they are being cool and edgy.

All his movies are not stories. They’re just cut scenes for other scenes. I mean they are good cut scenes but it’s weird
