Bro have you considered that starving to death is actually okay?

    Lots of cringeworthy American exceptionalism and nationalism in that thread. I especially like this one:

    It doesn’t, all of these countries have different definitions on what “Rights” are, most of their constitutions don’t even define a right in the context of a divine power as the United States does, most countries actually believe its the government’s job to assign what rights its people are allowed.

    It takes an impressive amount of baseless self confidence to speak with such certainty, yet with such ignorance, not only about other countries but your own country as well.

    I think we have an ethical obligation to help others. Being against forcing someone to do something at gun point doesn’t necessarily mean I don’t want that something done.

    It’s pretty disingenuous to claim being against a government provision means someone is in favor of the opposite.

    This place is a reddit content tracking sub now? Why not just skip the step and directly use reddit again at that point.

      Could you maybe unsubscribe from /c/Reddit if you don’t want to see content talking about Reddit?

        Not subscribed. Saw it in all and found the reddit posting peculiar. Just found it interesting seeing it shift from sort of a reddit alternative guide section and state of api back in the day to now a reddit reposting sub.

          Is this really any different from the 4Chan, Twitter, and Tumblr posts you’d see on Reddit?

          The internet is an ouroboros of content, where eventually all freely available content will end up everywhere.

          Also, I don’t know if this works on Lemmy, but couldn’t you just block the sub-lemmy if you didn’t want to see it’s content on All? That’s what I do for KBin to stop seeing other language subs.

            Was just making an observation of the shift, since it was interesting. But, yeah it does seem like a filter to add like ones for enough__spam or communities with Twitter in their name. I do block those. Already block the reddit repost bot and instance like lemmit. But ironic to me that one of the communities that was about trying to stop use of reddit now may be a reddit agregator providing direct reddit links now to provide traffic.

              The irony isn’t lost on me, I’m just not surprised.

              There are many communities that still only exist on Reddit, so inevitably someone will have to read Reddit to view those community’s content - thus the aggregators.

              What I am surprised about is how quickly we started to get bot problems, but where there’s a demand for content, you’ll get bots I suppose. At least for now there’s fewer of them than on Reddit, which is nice.

      It’s a post about Reddit attitudes in c/Reddit. What other kind of content would you expect here?
