What would your policy be for example if someone showed up and started debating on the side of Bad Team politics but doing so politely?

Some specific examples within lemmy.world that prompted this would be helpful (not a request for you specifically, a general request).

A big problem on reddit is debate-oriented communities aggressively stifling debate and banning people for opinions well within the outside-the-internet window of acceptable discourse. So I can see why lemmy.world would not want to go further down that route if it appeared as if it were beginning to happen. Reddit can semi-tolerate it because there enough users to form niche communities if the big ones are terrible. Lemmy has nowhere near enough people.

Unfortunately t can’t all be (1) or (2) because both extremes are terrible.

Online sample of 604 voters fielded from December 20 to January 07, 2025.

Lol

So they polled people who were chilling on the internet over the holidays, like 6 weeks after the election

Pardon me if I find Pew more trustworthy

Seems like a false dichotomy.

Or maybe I don’t understand why “pro billionaire” has to be a maximalist position.

Like, having the rule of law and property rights is already massively pro-billionaire (and pro-labor too).

White house nepotism is nothing new and certainly not unique to Trump.

I’d watch this musical.

It’s wild to me that we’re having a discussion about Israel in these comments, voters told us exactly what their major concerns were and they were economic and it wasn’t even close. Foreign policy, trans issues, etc are all hot button topics easy to argue over but voters felt the economy was bad and that’s the biggest reason Trump won.

No, but everyone who cares is vaccinated and we know how to treat it quite well. It’s at cold, flu, or RSV status.

I could easily see it happening.

I get it, you’re tougher than everyone here who thinks standing around in cloudy 20 degree weather for hours is unpleasant.

Sir it’s 2025

better than this

no

Reddit level discourse

Thanks for the explanation and link

Your home instance is lemmy.world, which is outright defederated with all but lemmy.ml

Still learning. How are you here from lemmy.today if lemmy.world is defederated (maybe I don’t know what defederated means)

The “source” request is also annoying because it’s like, dude we’re just chatting here, no I’m not going to respond like this is some academic debate.

I had one of his books of short stories when I was a teen (The Cyberiad) and loved it…meaning to read more of his work

Read this many years ago and enjoyed. Great recommendation in the spirit of this thread (for anyone who has not read it)

Like I said, takes that at least aren’t entirely predictable. If you’ve never been in such a discussion forum you should join one, it is refreshing.
