I used to endorse trump until a joke was made and Im too fragile to handle it.
I started a joke, which started the whole world crying.
Yeah, so, nothing Trump said or did up 'til now was a deal-breaker…but this comedian makes a racist joke, and that’s the last straw?
I guess he wasn’t paying attention when Trump treated Puerto Rico like shit during his term in office.

>Not a country
>Donald Trump has repeatedly spoken badly about and deliberately mistreated Puerto Rico
>Donald Trump also routinely speaks extremely badly about the country Puerto Rico is in
I’m glad he’s changed his mind at the literal last minute, but it baffles me every day how ignorant people can be.
Petition to restart [email protected], by the way.
Maybe he just ran out of the paper towels Trump threw at him the last time he was in PR. Now he had a spill to clean up and he’s finally mad.
Don’t Trump call America a garbage can like a couple days before this guy made this joke? It seemed like just an extension of what Trump already said.
Yep.
That’s how dictators work
They’ll shit on top of the country and try a self fulfilling prophecy . Over time, people will believe it. They’ll create a negative mindset
Then when they’re elected they’ll do the opposite. Their supporters will simply change their mindset.

Every time I make the mistake of visiting that sub, I want to smack the mod who locked it. I don’t even know if his grievances were legit, but clearly the only people he’s hurting are the folks who would like to post to the sub.
Edit: Are .world Admins aware? Do they have a position on the situation? Do they give a crap? Anyone know?
We’re aware. AFAIK, nobody has expressed interest in taking over that community and bringing it back to life.
@[email protected] would you like to volunteer?
I would also be willing to help if needed. I believe in a mostly hands off moderation style – allowing the votes to serve as the voice of the community. Common sense exceptions exist, obviously.
It’s funny you should ask that; I was just about to reach out to ruud over Matrix and have been thinking about it for a couple weeks. I’d love to if that’s alright with the admin team.

Here’s the beautiful thing about Lemmy and the Fediverse as the whole: Anyone could be a pioneer and create another leopardatemyface community–even in another instance different from lemmy.world. I saw the mod’s explanation of locking this community and I think it’s a legitimate reason cuz many of us running away from Reddit at least wants something different from the userbase and moderating culture there and .world instance failed to provide it.
Also, I think the .world Admins are aware, and that they have a position on the situation, and most likely they don’t give a crap. That’s why like I said, any dissenting users could create yet another similar community and try to lure others in to subscribe to it.
most likely they don’t give a crap.
We do, a little. But we also can’t manually curate the entire instance. For things like this, it really helps if someone comes and talks to us, especially if they’re willing to volunteer.
I don’t think that was a legitimate reason to lock the sub. Often, when you disagree with someone, you can use words instead of mod/admin tools. And that mod created an obvious strawman to rage against. They wanted much heavier moderation than we typically do, and I don’t think we’re extremely light on moderation.
- Lemmy.World Community Team (yeah, it’s a little weird to sign a comment, but this is also my personal account)
You can reach us through
- !support ( https://lemmy.world/c/support )
- You can also DM me for moderation/community issues
- DM https://lemmy.world/u/lwreport for more serious issues (like CSAM or more serious, direct, actionable threats that might involve legal)
- email [email protected] (PGP Supported) if you need to reach our directly to the admin team.
Not every problem needs to be solved with mod/admin tools. Absolutely nobody said rape was okay.
“Rape is less severe than normal” is not such a dangerous opinion that mods/admins need to get involved. If you are offended and/or disagree, that’s what your words are for.
I encourage mods to use words instead of mod tools whenever possible.

Trump didn’t even know who you were dude. Glad you pulled support but fuck you.
I’m crying at the fact that this guy thought trump would be good for the economy.
There is quite a lot to say about the neoliberal sabotage of American manufacturing capability, but the fact that people think conservatives have any interest in making those vanished jobs both come back and be worth having is stupifying.
MY Country
“Fuck you got mine” mentality here
The country of … Puerto Rico??
A nation perhaps but why TF is he calling it a country
Because no one calls where they live a nation? Country is the generic people term for place you live, we don’t care about the legal distinctions and specifications.
It’s less of a legal distinction and more of a definition thing. He is objectively using the wrong word.
It would not be incorrect to refer to the people of Puerto Ricans as a nation by the definition of the word. The word nation does not refer to a place but a group of people.
They used the right word in common speak, any other word would feel out of place.
Both words refer to both concepts.
country
- A nation or state.
- The territory of a nation or state; land.
- The people of a nation or state; populace.
nation
- A relatively large group of people organized under a single, usually independent government; a country.
- The territory occupied by such a group of people.
- The government of a sovereign state.
This definition is not fully correct. A nation does not need to have a government. For example the Kurds
Yes but my point is that he’s not using the wrong word.
Edit: also Kurdistan exists
Kurdistan doesn’t really have a central government like that, nor fixed or well defined borders. Keep in mind that the concept of a “Nation State” is really only a couple hundred years old.
If that counterexample doesn’t satisfy you, then Somalia should. It is a country without a functioning government, which has two nations inside of them of the northern and southern Somalians which are completely different, and neither of which have any sort of unifying government.
Nicky jam is apparently a fucking moron. Which we never could have figured out from face tattoos and a side hat I guess, because they are so trendy and awesome.
Giant fuckin dirt hat.
