    There’s a big difference between the Stasi and the FBI. Granted, the FBI has been known to occasionally do Stasi-esque illegal shit (most notably assassinating MLK), but that’s not their mission statement and what they do the vast majority of the time.

    Again, you will probably be right in a little while when Project 2025 kicks in, but at present you’re pulling the fire alarm because someone is unwrapping a toaster strudel.

              Someone who doesn’t want the worst of reddit brought over to lemmy.

                The worst of Reddit, in your mind, being good faith discussions?

                Weird pet peeve, but okay.

                  “Goodbye” is not good faith. In fact, presenting it as good faith is not good faith.

                  That’s the neat part of lemmy: You’re not just screaming into the void - unlike reddit, people aren’t interchangeable “random strangers”. In fact, it’s small enough you can see people around, recognize names, even get an idea of how they behave. You may even notice some people who habitually try and “bye” their way out of an argument that’s going bad for them. And you may advise them to go back to the website where that works - for everyone’s benefit.

                    Strangely you seem to have forgotten to read the entire thread, much like the other user.

                    Goodbye to you, too!
