The search autocompletes almost every other recent term I used. It’s not a recency issue.

    Works for me…

    I’m hardly ever on Reddit anymore because Lemmy is so much better, but this isn’t a Reddit issue.

    In defense of Reddit (yuck), if there’s been one constant in all the years of its existence, it’s been that their search is the worst. Not saying it’s not intentional, cause it probably is, but damn if they’ve not worked hard to establish plausible deniability.

    “Ineligible for recommendation”. Turns out that freedom of speech was when TikTok was Chinese.
    1000015850

    To be entirely honest, i don’t know what our “values” are anymore.


    That’s the normal thought now, and not “At least compared to our declared current enemies, you’re allowed to criticize our government without consequences” :
    1000015852

    In a speech of 355 b.c., Demosthenes rightly remarks that the most important difference between the political systems of Athens and Sparta is that at Athens it is permitted to praise that of Sparta and denigrate one’s own, whereas at Sparta no one may praise any system other than the Spartan. (Dem.20,§106)

    That’s the basis of freedom, and once we lose that, what are we left with ?
    A bourgeois “democracy” where medias are owned by the capitalists and citizens-owned medias are increasingly threatened of disinformation ? When you’re choosing the least bad and are surrendering your power to elected people that often decide in private, and almost never once through referendums.
    A rule of law with many lawfare cases proving a lack of independence from the government ? Where money can buy good lawyers, and blue-collar crimes are treated way harsher for the same sum of money stolen than white-collar crimes ? And the latter is even legalized under fiscal “optimization”, and laws promoted by their lobbying.

    Without painting other countries as even worse, what values are we left with ?
    I literally have hundreds of such examples : https://x.com/i/status/2012799140061659566
    That is even more shocking than censorship : https://x.com/i/status/2014796564624253394
    And many dozens of journalists because they were supporting Russia https://x.com/i/status/2014655503616405681
    And our “leaders” don’t seem to realize that critizing ourselves is the basis of our system(, and that unlike countries victims of our attacks we don’t even have such excuses) : https://x.com/i/status/2012724357072892409
    The e.u., u.k., and Australia, are multiplying laws restricting what they’re deeming illegal speech. They already proved their intent with covid, and are even acknowledging that it’d be a dictatorship if they directly regulated social media posts(, but since it’ll be indirectly through proxy organizations such as EUvsDisinfo instead of WarOnFakes, then it’s all right 🙄).

      I come here to get away from the negativity of Reddit, only to find people are just as bad over here when someone asks a question.

      To the downvoters of this: seriously, you are not ready for someone not to know everything? Not knowing doesn’t mean not caring - I don’t remember the previous victim’s name, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t care that she was murdered

        I don’t blame them for not knowing, I’m blaming them for not doing the fucking bare minimum of just looking the name up first.

          This is a social platform where you’re allowed to comment and ask questions. So I can understand their first thought would be to, you know, ask. Are we really going to hate on everyone asking a question instead of Googling everything? Do we really need this negativity on Lemmy? Should be we welcoming to people or should we be assholes as is the norm on Reddit?

          Most services, including Lemmy, have an infinite wall of posts. Checking every name would be a full-time job. And writing a title “John Doe who is/was/will be (explanation), (what happened/will happen)” is super easy, as you have to write something anyway

            If you have enough interest to make a comment on a post you should have enough interest to open up another window and quickly put a name into a search engine. It’s pathetically easy.

              Pathetically easy even? Come on, why are you like this? Is it that hard to be friendly to another person? They are merely asking a question and the first you think of is to make fun of them. Is that really what Lemmy is all about, making fun of people instead of helping them?

            If I’m going to waste my fucking life writing a dumb question I’ll have to take time to check back on that would make me an idiot when Google is right fucking there.

            I assume all of those comments are meant to pretend like it’s not important. It’s 2026. Come the fuck on.

      If I’m not mistaken it’s the guy who was most recently been killed by the ICE agents in the US. Notable fact is that he was a US citizen.

        IMO, notable fact is that this was an arbitrary execution :

        He was disarmed (carried a concealed gun but it was taken away from him in the moments leading to his death)

        He was not resisting (although there was a bit of scuffling, he quickly ended up cowering on the ground, both hands on the ground).

        The ICE agents could not have really feel threatened in any way (a single woman in company of Alex, pepper sprayed and being restrained, a sparse number of onlookers filming some distance away, probably less then the total number of agents).

        Something like a full charger was unloaded into the victim.

          Like me? Jokes of Reddit users aside, this is very big internationally. Just checked German news right now and it’s still the headline article.

            Out of curiosity I checked some big news sites here, it’s relevant in the International section, but not the headline in any of them. And none of news had the name of the victim in the title.

            I knew ICE executed someone (again) in broad daylight, but the video on social media was the source, not the news.

            The authoritarian escalation inside the US may be less relevant for me than it’s escalation outside; like the kidnapping of the venezuelan president by US forces and it’s repercussions in south-america.

            Maybe I’m cuban, colombian, brazilian or mexican, and I’m more concerned with Trump’s threatening interventions in my country like he did with Venezuela, knowing that the International community is ignoring his imperialistic moves on latin-america (as always).

            … Or even violence cases in my own country are more relevant because they are a bigger risk for me. The world is bigger than the white western hemisphere.

            Edit: But I get why everyone is very reactive right now, the situation is very fucked-up.
