    We acknowledge all calls to violence that get reported to us. Nobody gets left out.

    Here’s the problem from a lemmy user perspective:

    Most of the calls for violence come from the anti-fascists. Whether it’s anti-cop, anti-corpo, anti-billionaire, anti-Trump, anti-Israel, etc. That shit gets reported and shut down and it’s probably 98% of what gets removed. 95% of it is a single user who gets banned over, and over, and over.

    The other probably 2% is pro-Russia, pro-China, Ukrainian/Uighur genocide denial, but most users never see that angle on it.

    Very little of it is pro-Israel, rah, rah kill all the Palestinians. I think they know better than to come here and start that shit. I have removed and banned some of it, but it’s a tiny, tiny minority of what gets reported.

    So if you look at the modlog, you’re going to see a lot of removals and bans on the anti-fascist front, because they’re the ones coming here starting shit against the rules and refuse to be told “No.”

    Here’s the thing… if America really cared about NASA… I mean REALLY CARED… we would have been up in arms when they abdicated the shuttle program 14 years ago. That was, what, under Obama’s first term? 2011.

    I was super interested in the shuttle stuff when I was a kid, from Enterprise forward, and was pretty disappointed with what they were doing with it.

    “Oh, look, they’re sending up mice again… shouldn’t we be PAST that by now? We landed on the fricking MOON already, why are we sending up mice… AGAIN?”
