Not the whole comment, but the word would get removed. It also applies to any comments posted to communities hosted on the server.

So much for free speech, eh.

I hate to say this, but you’re exactly the reason why Youtube and other services feel safe and comfortable enshittifying their services.

Capitalistic? Lemmy.ml does it too.

This isn’t lemmy, this is a specific community. And your argument brings us back to the whole issue between mods and community members.

Being a dick to someone trying to make the place better

Members of a community do have a stake in the community, and in this case, are trying to keep the place from getting worse. It’s an open question who the dick is in the discussion, especially since it was an open call for feedback that then subsequently ignored every comment that disagreed with the idea. It very much came across as a call for ‘positive feedback only’.

‘Feedback’ does not mean ‘fix my idea for me’. Just because something isn’t your area of expertise doesn’t mean you can’t point out when there are flaws in something. It’s like getting served a dish that tastes horrible, then the restaurant says you can’t complain because you’re not offering a solution.

We should want analysis to be from the perspective of a typical fast food eating, reality tv watching, not-super-engaged American

Why? Lemmy is a worldwide site.

I think you messed up the link formatting :)

Right. I see there’s no logical discussion to be had here. Have a good day.

My question was very simple and limited in scope:

Would the impact have been any different if they had used photoshop?

I did not make any sweeping comments, and I would appreciate if you stopped trying to claim things on my behalf.

Fuck knows. It’s not like I made any such claim, you just decided to put up a strawman argument.

Since when could someone do this … with a couple of clicks and zero training, for free and on any device?

You know, somebody probably said the exact same thing about Photoshop when it first came out? Back when cutting up photos and pasting them together was a thing. Then again, somebody probably said the same thing about the advent of photography too, during the days of woodcuts and oil paintings.

Would the impact have been any different if they had used photoshop?

?

Of the numerous articles I’ve posted thus far, exactly ONE series (about the Supreme Court scandal) could reasonably be said to directly concern US politics.

Are you tired of clickbait and the current state of journalism? This community is meant to remind you that excellent journalism still happens. While not sticking to a specific topic, the focus will be on high-quality articles and discussion around their topics.

Who?

It’s never been on sale, but the price HAS gone up multiple times since it was first launched in alpha.

There isn’t even any risk, considering the amount of detail they’ve covered in the dev blogs.

western banking system

Are you implying the rest of the world uses a different, more socially friendly banking system? For that matter, when’s the last time China sent out a multi-billion dollar aid package?

1% is hardly worth calling sinister.

Yeah, it’s only a few billion dollars. What’s that between buddies?

semantic difference in my word choice is hardly significant enough to be worth quoting lol

It’s only significant when it’s in your favour, eh?

Oh no! We’re comparing credit card interest rates with country-level loans! And they’re higher! Gosh! Never mind that the IMF interest rate is half of that. 🙄

the logical conclusion is foul play

Nobody but you claimed foul play, only bad intentions.
