The U.S. and U.K. led a series of airstrikes in Yemen on Thursday evening, setting off alarms globally about how the attacks play into the smoldering regional risk of conflict — including a stream of questions from Congress about whether Biden was legally authorized to conduct the strikes at all.

          I picked this skill up from dealing with reddit but always read the username and instance if someone says something that doesn’t sit right with you. You’ll save a lot of mental health over time not having to constantly engage with blatant trolls.

            That’s a good point, I’m still not used to the amount of trolling we have on here with the reddit crowd. I really miss the old days when people just had civil and constructive discussions. I guess that’s only possible with small communities.

              It’s possible if you root out the nazis. Lemmy has been really disappointing in that regard though i’m confident it will eventually get better.

              For context of what I mean, this is one of the first posts I made when coming back from a hiatus. https://lemmy.ml/comment/2712925

              EDIT: LOL I just checked, of course it was a sh.ithead. Of course.

                  Seems like they’re downvote trolling you too. Not me though? Maybe it’s because I have them blocked?? Is that how that works?

                    Not sure how blocks work in that regard actually, but yeah I have a handful of trolls following me around downvoting. It’s kind of funny cause it tends to happen always at a specific time every day where I just get like 5 downvotes on every comment. The fact that people devote their time to this is equal parts hilarious and sad.
