      No, there’s nothing rebellious about voting on which of the two turds is less evil. That’s just damage control.

        I’m not American so this doesn’t really apply to me. There are also other elections than presidential elections.

      I’m sorry, but did we read the same post? I couldn’t find where it mentioned that you shouldn’t vote. So I dunno, maybe run along to someplace else where people actually care for these sorts of low effort comments?

          Do I seem not calm to you? Or are you just using that as a way to put me down because you don’t like being called out for your behaviour.

          I pretty strongly believe your comment added nothing to the conversation. I am just starting to become so tired of these low effort comments poisoning the english-speaking internet just because it’s a US election year.

            Well you seemed angry and this new comment doesn’t make me believe that less. Also what behavior? I said nothing wrong.

            In addition, I’m not even American - it was just a general statement, I don’t even follow American politics.

            Try not to assume so bad intentions from people in the future. Have a nice day.

              The point of the post, from my reading, is that there are other things you can do that are quite punk outside of a political context. I’m not angry, I’m just mildly disappointed that you seemed to miss the point entirely.

              I would also daresay that there are far more potent political actions you can take as a punk. Not to discourage voting, I’ve voted in every single election I’ve been eligible before. But personally I think it’s far more punk to attend protests and rallies to show politicians an overwhelming distaste for their cowardice.

              So IMO voting is only punk when it’s done in conjunction with other actions.

                I don’t think I’ve missed the point. I did not read the post as being somehow in contrast to what you do in usual political contexts (like voting). I don’t really see what in the post suggests that.

                I don’t disagree that there are other things that you can do as well. Again, I wasn’t criticising the post, just adding something. Another version of my comment could be “Yk another way you can contribute to your community? Voting.”

                  I strongly disagree that the act of voting, in and of itself, counts as “contribut(ing) to your community”. Maybe that’s where our opinions differ.

                    That’s fine, your opinion is as valid as mine. So please don’t degrade mine by calling my comment “poisoning” or “adding nothing”. I wish you had started with your last two comments which aren’t as harsh.

        The post itself was low effort… Let’s say that ‘‘where solarpunk organize’’ was the motto of the instance thinking about a place where to organize and share informations of praxis more than falling in the giving each other compliments for thinking alike… Probably will have to make another place :o

          I mean you’re the moderator, not me. If these sorts of posts aren’t want you want here, then make a rule against them. I do enjoy the other posts here quite a bit, and wouldn’t want to see the space overrun by these sorts of “meme” posts.

            I’ve not been a mod for quite some time, I’d rather not “force the hand” just ‘cause I founded it

              You are still a moderator of this specific community 😅

              I think that a level of “forc(ing) the hand” is necessary at times to keep a community aligned with it’s original vision. It can mean that people choose to unsubscribe, but they can make the choice to create a new community elsewhere if they want as well. Hell, maybe even a more “meme” oriented community here on slrpnk.net

              Obviously that would also have to be a discussion to be had with the other moderators to come up with a unanimous vision.
