Nah Lemmy is definitely worse than the majority of social media platforms rn. There’s blatant posts of the exact same thing in the exact same communities by different users hours apart with hundreds of upvotes each so I literally can’t go 3 posts in the All feed without seeing his stupid face and it’s gotten to the point where I’m just downvoting people for low effort. I don’t fucking care about some guys mug shot to need to be informed a hundred times, if you’re gonna make jokes at least put effort into it
not remotely. Both, my mastodon & my IG feed were filled with that asshats mugshot. Like... LITERALLY filled. I ended up just logging off for the night last night.
Here I subscribe to a lot of non-political & non-meme communities, so it wasn't nearly as aggressive.
I'm in Australia and hia bigotry and BS has been spilling over here too. Literally have friends being drawn into his "anti woke" discussion nonsense and fake news claims. It's so sad
So, even though I'm not in US, this is a huge moment for us too.. I'm going to be happy when the bigoted crowd are no longer empowered again to treat trans people with disrespect and for those people to take responsibility instead of playing victim
And it should be obvious to at least some of those people after seeing this photo that Trump tries way way too hard to appear badass. At the very least after he's convicted, people might look at this photo and realise just how ridiculous they were for voting for this manchild
