That was one thing. They tried to keep that hidden.
In Ohio, the local Mormon-run bank went under - so did a lot of others at the time but they were being just as greedy and stupid as everyone else.
In Missouri, they were actually on the moral high ground but walking in new to town and telling your new neighbors that they’re going to hell for slavery isn’t a good idea. Also, they tried to buy up all the land and move enough people in to take over the elected positions.
In Illinois, one of the final straws was when Joseph Smith, as mayor of Nauvoo, declared a rival newspaper a public menace and had their press destroyed. Legal at the time but, again, great way to piss off your neighbors.
The history of the church is basically a string of grifts, arrogance, misogyny, and racism. Right up to today but now you can add homophobia and transphobia.
The cherry on top is BYU telling its incoming freshmen that they have to study an infamous speech from “Apostle” Jeffrey R Holland, who used a bunch of dog whistles to call for violence under the guise of “religious freedom.”
Satan and Dionysus tie for first in my book.
Chill out there, Heimskr.
Yeah, they kept getting kicked out. Mostly for being bad neighbors - or at least not being able to read the room.
Seriously, American Puritans. They’d move en masse to an area, try to impose their religion on everyone, piss everyone off, get driven out, then cry about it.
Oh, so you’re just racist, then?
Pop music has always been crafted to appeal to as many people as people as people. It’s never great music. It’s just good enough in enough ways for it to not be hated.
It’s like American cheese or fast food. It’s not always garbage but there’s always better choices
Well, beehaw is kinda like ml but less hinged at times. I don’t block instances, only users and communities. Some of beehaws communities are quite good and friendly. The politics ones…well, I don’t see those anymore.
Sometimes it feels like there grownups in there who grasp nuance and empathy and at other times it feels like it’s full of ex-4channers who think they’ve grown up.
I don’t know who it is bc I blocked them before so all I’m seeing is “There is no record of this comment.” It’s beautiful.
Yeah. I think they were trying to be edgy. Or maybe some guy named Sy Fy did the name change while everyone else was on break.
Last week iirc
I don’t block instances, just communities and users. This way I can still get the good content. Overall, ml, grad, and hexbear were the main ones where I’d block the most, but it’s definitely world now, especially blocking users and mods. A lot of trolls and reddit-style mods cropping up from there.
Thank you for the reminder. The name was tickling my brain but I couldn’t remember. The CEO acted like a major creeper. Must have gone to the Musk School of Bidness Mismanagement.
I like how you think
If you can only access Xitter through SpaceX, can we call the combination “SpaceXitter”?
To paraphrase Adam Savage: the only difference between screwing around and science is writing it down
Lemmy, imgur, Telegram (mostly for Ukrainian updates), then some news outlets on YouTube (Reuters, AP, NHK).
