Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I have a confession. I tagged you as an "idiot maybe" a few months ago, and it has been my private delight to be reminded at frequent intervals what a good judge of character I am. Thank you, sincerely.
I did not know that was a feature. Thanks, I'm tagging you as a genius maybe.
🧐 you're gonna laugh your ass off, hanging around here
Omg, I have them tagged as, "believes they're the center of the universe" 😂
The tagging system is great.
It's nice to get to know people. I'm always pleased to reassess a negative tag.
What app are you using that has tags? That sound very useful
I've been using Boost
Miss me with that horseshit, thanks

Huh turns out I just had to find the "add note" option in Connect. Note added for you.
For reference, heres what Connect's privacy looks like:
But I'm sure your app needs to know and share with 3rd parties your location and everything you type in-app in order for you to be a dismissive 3head online.
My brother in Christ, YOU asked ME what app I used. What response were you expecting from, "miss me with that horseshit"? Something along the lines of, "Oh, sorry Mr. Godric, sir. I'll start using a privacy respecting front-end right away!"???
While your threat model might have you terrified of the idea that your Lemmy app might be sharing data about you, I do not share that fear. I also have Connect on my device. I like the interface of Boost better, and use it more. Boost has no device permissions, and I haven't donated so they don't have financial info. Otherwise, the dev collects crash logs and usage data? I mean, c'mon bro, take a chill pill.
I'm thrilled to hear that you've found an app that you like - and that it already has the functionality you're looking for. What I fail to understand is the superiority complex because you use an app that collects less data.
In his case the username is all I need, they're a tropical ding dong. Although I do hope their tropical isn't the one that's about to get their teeth kicked in by another hurricane.
