It's funny how people support getting others in their situation fired because they all think they are indispensable.
Hint: nobody is indispensable.
Of course, it's a bit late to warn Trump voters. But I'll leave this here for when the next autocratic populist comes along in a few years.
That's the funniest part aboit the facing eating leopard party; not only do they think they are the leopards they don't realize they have faces.
They all fail at game theory. When being negative, everyone loses. Tit for Tat + 10% forgiveness is the most successful and highest growth potential. T4T means you are always nice, always positive, and when someone is negative, you respond in kind but randomly forgive 10% of the time to exit the stupidity spiral. Most world leaders know and operate under T4T now that it was established as the only path to maximal growth for everyone. Failing to apply this when everyone else is applying it will ALWAYS result in bringing everyone down but the most damage will ALWAYS occur to the perpetrating entity when all others are playing T4Tpt.

This is interesting, how did they get those calculations?
The person you're replying to is describing (without giving proper context except for "game theory") an algorithm that's fairly successful at the "iterated prisoners dilemma": https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tit_for_tat
There is not a conservative community on Lemmy. There are, however, a few communities entirely composed of one guy posting conservative leaning articles that all get downvoted to zero and have a half dozen comments saying he's wrong.
This is the first I've seen of a conservative Lemmy community. God willing it is the last I see of one as well. At this point I unironically believe Lemmy needs a healthy amount of tankies so that right-wingers know they're not welcome here~ ❤️
That's mean to say but I'm trying to switch over from Reddit and I'm honestly just so done with MAGA stinking up every damn space it's insane, I don't want them to even breathe in my direction. With RFK Jr as the recent pick for the Department of Health and Human Services, I just might need to enforce that boundary literally.

That is one job they're good for. Been trying to tell the anti-leftist crusaders the last few years they're just facilitating right-wing safe space.
So now we got conservative communities posting breitbart and users feeling safe to critisize the Nuremburg trial. Like I know it is all the rage to question the holocaust on reddit now, but damn they move fast when they see opportunity.
I’ve had a very difficult time differentiating tankies from trumpers.

Well, half of them are Russian bots, but a real tankie will throw billionaires and Nazis into woodchippers and that's my personal bar for tolerance.
From what I've seen, any "conservative" community on Lemmy is 2 or 3 troll accounts that make up 90% of posts. Why would far right people use Lemmy when Reddit, Twitter, and Facebook are so welcoming to them?
russian psyops
Imagine getting assigned Lemmy. Reddit and Facebook are massive departments and Lemmy is one cubicle with a Linux machine and two chairs.
it’s all bots nowdays anyway
