You can register online through the DMV when you renew your license

Edit: correction, you can update an existing registration

That’s… that’s one of the most terrifying things I’ve ever read, because every page is completely realistic.

Like… holy shit

It’s that neutral “both sides” media bullshit- just like you can’t call someone “school shooter”, it’s “alleged school shooter” until the court ruling come down the pipe six months later.

Is this better? Idk.

Unironically this is something I heard in Texas during the freeze a couple years ago

Republicans lose the popular vote, period. When people actually vote, on every level, Republicans lose.

I encourage people not only to check your registratio, but full on order a new ID, confirming it j’s your correct name, address, and a updated picture it poseible.

Understand, Texas has realistically been blue since at least 2000. Voter turnout is an existential threat to the Texas republicans, and they know it.

It’s not, it’s ironically a side issue to both political parties. Which is extremely sad, but reality.

Yep! That’s why they’re counting on, throwing enough dollars at the conservative judges that they will let this theocratic bullshit stand.

Fuck them and anyone who supports their religion

The math maths

 

Like, honestly. What a joke of an admin.

 

This comment was in response to someone expressing regret about joining .ml if I recall correctly

Edit: I'm convinced all this guy does is camp out in front of his computer and wait for an excuse to abuse what itty bitty power he has.

 

Edit: changed post to use Imgur link instead of downloading a file

What a bunch of fucking babies, lol

Alternative link in case media doesn’t load

Update: so, the responses this far are almost universally that these bots have been blocked by users of the community. There is also a general disinterest in defederating, which is on brand.

You guys wanna do a poll or something or?

I’d like to lead my thoughts with a quote from the admins regarding bots within lemm.ee:

“Bots must not be responsible for the majority of content in any community”

There are two entire instances that immediately spring to mind, zerobytes.monster’s b0t user, and lemmit.online. Their content is quite literally 90% bot content with 0 engagement, and they spam constantly.

Now here at lemm.ee we generally don’t defend from stuff, that’s actually why I prefer this instance. Yes, you can block the bot users and that solves the problem, but hear me out:

These bots ruin the experience on Lemmy for new users. They spam so many posts, attempting to block them from a mobile app will usually crash the app. If you’re a new user coming to Lemm.ee sorting by all, you see tons and tons of empty posts.

Zerobytes is particularly egregious because it doesn’t even repost actual content, just thousands and thousands of links to Reddit posts. It’s a spam instance, period, and I feel strongly about this.

Lemmit.online isn’t quite as bad, but it’s an entire instance dedicated to spam reposting everything from Reddit. All the posts have zero engagement, and the comment value is gone so everything decent gets buried.

Yes there are ways around this on an individual user level, but then you’re creating a context where there’s even less engagement in the vast majority of “new” posts.

Anyway, thems my thoughts. Repost bots are stupid, one that drive traffic to Reddit are even worse. Thoughts?

 

For whatever reason when I attempt to login on firefox or chrome from my iPhone 11, I get the infinite spinning circle. Anyone else experienced this?
