Nope, they'll just disregard any credible source as "liberal", they'll refer to Wikipedia as "liberal pedia" or some shit if you try to use it against them

@mindbleach@sh.itjust.works summed it up perfectly

"Material conditions" are leftist-flavored "facts and logic." The actual concepts matter... but the people pounding the table about those phrases don't even know what they mean.

**Would you rather be advocating for socialism under milquetoast progressives who ignore you - or under fascists who want you skinned for moving pamphlets? **

**Would you rather be fighting for easier name changes as trans rights - or debating whether married women get to vote? **

Does any sane person honestly believe Kamala Harris would have handed Elon Musk a machete and pointed him at social programs? Or treated every federal institution like she bought them and they owe her money? Or bombed Iran despite this inevitable outcome?

Wouldn't your entire life be better, without Republicans in charge?

Not voting for the most leftist available candidate to you only makes the organizing you preach that much more harder. Unless of course you want the Tankie outcome, accelerationist bloodshed in the name of the revolution.

Hey! That's not an em dash! Are you a fucking human‽

Who dessalines? Lmao yea you're a little late. They are quite aware of me already, authoritarians don't particularly like people who document their crap or call them out :P

Projection, MAGAts and Drumpy.

Name a more iconic trio

It's a feature of Lemmy where your instance will proxy image links for you, it can be useful in some cases to do things like bypass regional censorships (If you can access your home instance from your country, but not instance lemmy.example.com your home instance can proxy the image from lemmy.example.com so you can still see it (text is handled by federation already, so no proxy required for just text)) or to cache images in case an instance goes down

But it seems to be poorly implemented where it's end user experience is a pain at best, and the more aggressive it's set the more annoying it is.

Take for example this instance I'm currently on, infosec.pub, they seem to have it set to aggressively replace all image links including in comments no matter what.

So now my attempt to reply to this comment https://infosec.pub/comment/20590443 is utterly broken because the image service just doesn't like it despite me just wanting to link to the off-site gif link manually typing the markdown instead.

This is what that gif looks like proxied:

listen here, you little shit

Lol what bots? This is all manual hence why some posts get through with the dumb proxy URL that I typically manually edit
