Something I really envy is the EU controls on food. Much of what passes for food here in the US is heavily processed, GMO, misleadingly labeled, etc.

It’s not a lie if we don’t call them on it

Your very long comment reveals that you understand the analogy but would rather complain about it than address it. Russia invaded Ukraine and is killing it’s people, correct? Digging deep into the geopolitical history to find some kind of reason is very much like apologizing for this murderer. It’s not an academic pursuit or a fun problem to study, it’s “I’ve got tanks and disposable people, I’m taking your land”.

When the schoolyard bully is on top of you, punching you in the face, it feels inappropriate to contemplate his bad childhood.

He (or you) ascribes alot of nuance and careful consideration to someone who has demonstrated nothing but malice and avarice. Putin clearly cares nothing for both the people of Ukraine and his own people. Why are we trying so hard to be understanding to a murderous dictator?

Seems to ignore the reason why Putin wants a non-NATO neighbor, namely so he can invade and control it.

…again

What about “automod”? What if there’s no response?

Lemmy mods respond to messages?

Great! My cousin and his daughter came over to watch my team win a spot in the national championship.

Who cares?

Of all the overreach and violation that’s happening, we’re focusing on the unauthorized viewing of taxpayer data?!

Great story!

10+ years on Reddit and I could not stand what the API changes were going to do, on top of totally hating the experience without an app.

None of my friends were even on Reddit so no problem with them not being on Lemmy ಠ_ಠ

Lemmy feels alot like Reddit in 2012 so I’m hopeful.
