Your new mod has spent the last 5 hours getting into a 50 comment deep argument over Hunter Biden’s laptop…
Glad to hear they’re qualified
Given that your new mod labels anything left of center right as trolling, this is a terrible idea, not to mention the other reasons that have been mentioned.
Yeah…I’m curious as to how this is going to go. It’ll be interesting, that’s for sure.

If you think it’s a terrible idea, it must be good
And why is that?
Are you just being a contrarian for the sake of it?
Why? Because you’re the biggest troll here. If you’re scared of someone being added as a mod, it’s almost certainly because you’re scared that you might get punished for your crap
Why? Because you’re the biggest troll here.
Just somebody disagreeing with you doesn’t make them a troll.
If you’re scared of someone being added as a mod,
I’m not scared. There is no danger on my part from stupid ass decisions like this.
I’m stating that it is a terrible idea to allow people to become mods when they:
-
Claimed people are trolls simply for disagreeing
-
Shown complete disregard for facts
-
Insult people
it’s almost certainly because you’re scared that you might get punished for your crap
Pointing out the facts isn’t crap.
-
Most trolls are self aware and know they are trolling. Others…. Bless their hearts.
Changed your mind already?
Probably for the best.

Guys a conspiracy theorist. Definitely for the best.
That isn’t a conspiracy. There is a real laptop owned by Hunter Biden.
Lmao
Is there a laptop?
Would the chain of custody of the evidence stand up in court?
Yes. Not sure if you have ever worked in cyber for law enforcement but that is what they would determine if the data has been manipulated. Anything that is questionable would be kicked out and anything that can’t be disputed would stay.
The real question is there anything criminal on the laptop? That is up for debate.

In April 2019, someone dropped off three water-damaged laptops with him for repair, Mac Isaac claimed. He couldn’t say for sure who dropped them off, because he is legally blind, but he said the person identified himself as Hunter Biden…
No one ever returned to pick up the laptops, so Mac Isaac (an enthusiastic Trump supporter) started looking at what’s on one of them. He saw what he thought was lots of scandalous material…
per the New York Times, one reporter refused to put his name on the story due to credibility concerns…
Even though the story of the abandoned laptop is bizarre, speculation that there’s more to it remains just speculation.
There were two supposed “smoking guns” about Joe Biden that conservatives touted in the materials. The first was an email the Post called a “blockbuster,” in which an executive at the Ukrainian gas company Burisma thanked Hunter for the “opportunity to meet your father” in 2015. … This appears to amount to Vice President Biden seemingly going to one dinner.
The second involved a business venture that Hunter tried to set up with a Chinese energy tycoon in 2017 (after Joe Biden was no longer vice president)…
So this amounts to Joe Biden apparently refusing some deal Hunter tried to enmesh him in. An alternative possibility is that Joe was not actually ever involved and that Hunter had just been throwing his name around.
All of this was indeed covered in the press in October 2020… So the real objection from conservatives is that they didn’t get the narrative they liked out of the mainstream media.
This comment right here kinda shows your delusion. No, no it wouldn’t be, in any capacity
Oddly enough, he shows as I clicked once on lemm.ee, not twice.
Hes a mod to be clear.
Im going to chalk it up to federation.
Strange, it still shows as removed here.
If your goal with this new mod is to further extreme far right conspiracy theories in this community you will hit that target very successfully.
Otherwise it’s a complete failure.

Nice! The biggest troll in this community is making the second biggest troll into a mod!
What a serious group of people discussing serious things LMAO!
I look forward to more spurious reasoning and culture war bullshit.
Hey I haven’t gotten banned for posts in another community yet, they haven’t achieved their final form
Which mod deleted the article post about the guy that lied about all the hunter evidence?
You guys just straight up deleting stories because it doesn’t fit your narrative? Rule 2 says all sources are acceptable. That post has Fox News as a source.
I did. It didn’t fit the criteria. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias.
No actual discussion allowed, huh? Just bury your heads in the sand and yell “nah nah nah nah” so you can’t hear the truth.
They’re conservatives, it’s to be expected. Actually engaging with the facts would make it rather hard to be conservative.
This guy argued for five hours the other day about how no one involved with trying to pin something on Hunter Biden had a connect with Russia.
Lo and behold the guy with all the evidence not only made it all up, but he’s also a Russian asset!
Mod asking for proof instantly deletes stories about the proof. Lol
Can’t have people learning what actually happened now, can we? That might make some people think about the conspiracies and news they’re spoonfed, and we can’t have that!
This sort of thing is exactly what I predicted would happen when Wintermute got mod perms, so this isn’t a surprise lmao
Things I am in favour of conserving:
The environment
Multigenerational family structures
Indigenous sovereignty
Oral traditions
Unions
Technological progress
Trans rights
Historical records
Mythologies and religions
Pagan traditions
The Palestinian people
Ukraine
Civil rights advances
Abandonware and lost media
Indigenous holy sites
Native speciesI want to conserve lots of stuff. Am I a conservative?
Conservatives are not a monolith.
That said, “Indigenous sovereignty” is very right wing. Welcome!
Yeah I think that the white monarchist government of my country is illegitimate and that ownership of the land should be returned to the indigenous people. If the white people don’t like it they can go back to England
Also since the government is illegitimate, cops are actually occupying soldiers and killing them is ethically A-okay.
Cool, cool. How do you feel about Indians and Chinese (as in the subcontinent) in Britian?
How about Syrians in Sweden?
Do you honestly believe it is logical to equate colonialism to immigration?
Yes actually. Why wouldnt they be the same thing?
You must not be very familiar with the impacts of colonialism then. Take your time and read these:

Equating the two is laughable. You are equating
-
conquest
-
the intentional destruction of a people’s civilization/government
-
slavery
to
-
the people trying to escape said destruction/lingering impacts
-
the people moving to our nations for the hope of working for a better life, who have lower crime rates than the existing population, and are a net boon to the economy
It is beyond ridiculous, and a miscarriage of history.

Because colonizer is an edge lord word.
They’re for all intents the same. Ask the native Americans if there was a difference between the colonizers and when we formed a nation with immigrants
Because colonizer is an edge lord word.
___ is left of center right, so it is [dismissive label].
Indians and some Chinese technically are not immigrants to the UK. If they are part of the commonwealth, they can move to other commonwealth states. It’s similar to Puerto Rico and America but slightly different.
It’s why there are so many Jamaicans in the UK. They are part is the commonwealth
conservative is about traditional values and personal liberty. Most of what you list would fit squarely into conservative philosophy.
Abandonware though does not fall into politics. I am a big fan of keeping historical technology around. I may be showing my age but I miss a lot of the software from my youth.
Oh, abandonware is political. The software is lost because distribution rights lied solely with the copyright holder. The abandonware we still have available for distribution today is what was pirated. Obviously, copyright is antithetical to software preservation.
A capitalist argument on the subject of software copyright goes “the right to distribute software is owned by a company or a businessman because they invested in that software. They have the right to control what they own. If they decide the software is no longer available for distribution, it should be lost.”
But a communist argument on the subject of software says “the means of producing wealth by distributing software should belong to everyone. The people should seize software distribution for themselves and use it for the common good. Pirate software to preserve it, it shouldn’t matter that a corporation doesn’t want to sell it anymore.”
As a communist, I believe in the conservative approach to software copyright.
I am in the middle. I believe a company should be able to make money on its software until they abandon it. Once they abandon the software, it should be free to use.
I hate to see technology go away just because someone stopped selling it.
Same with movies, TV shows, etc.
How are pirates supposed to get copies of software that’s already been abandoned so they can distribute it?
Well in the old days we would all have copies of the disk to spread around. I still have hundreds of floppies for C64 software. I still have 3.5 for my Amiga.
I am starting to think I am a closet pack rat. I have lots of really old technology I have been carting around for 40 years.
Yeah, but that’s not the nature of how software is distributed these days. Do you have a modern solution?
We could push for a law that makes it open source after a certain period of time or make copyrights only useful while it’s being used.
The problem is there is so much on the backend nowadays. I used to play star wars galaxies which was mainly run on the backend. Even pirates can only pirate the front end.
I started to play as a way to keep up with friends when I moved away. We use to play and chat till the early morning on the weekends.
Hoooooo boy. What’s next, Momo on the mod team? I sense a lot of future bans for “trolling” real soon.
