Show the statistics on how many trans youth were helped, as proof that not just $15M is needed next time but even more than that? Did you prefer when Adams just took bribes and did nothing to benefit NYC?
Sounds like you’ll never be happy unless Mamdani pulls a billion dollars out of his ass, while his competiton is doing fuck-all in comparison.
Lmfao, bro thinks he can train and employ a cat who’s digging holes just for the love of the game.
Of course it isn’t enough, it’s a START! Are baby steps not allowed?
Mamdani isn’t part of it, but also you’re complaining about him not doing enough. Which is it?
I’m surprised they didn’t just ban you and then immediately mute you, that seems to be the default mod strat on Reddit. Maybe the WC mods are especially argumentative so they don’t?
Power-trippy mods love reporting mod messages as harassment though, even when it’s just some mild disagreement.
One time I got banned from Sub B (a subreddit I’ve never posted in) for posting in Sub A, and when I responded to the mod message asking what the ban reason was for since I’ve never posted in Sub B, they tried to argue some stupid bullshit that I never even said and then clearly reported me for mod harassment even though I barely said anything so I caught a site-wide temp ban, also for 3 days.
And when it comes to 7 day or less site-wide bans, it’s a mystery whether the admins even respond to your appeal before the ban runs out on its own. And then you can catch a perma-ban for getting so many temp-bans anyway even when you successfully appeal them, because it automatically escalates to a perma and the admins won’t do shit about it.
I lost an account that way because I would post about transphobia that I’ve faced, it gets false-flagged by bigots trolling trans subs, and I successfully appealed them, but successful appeals clearly don’t mean anything anyway other than your ban ending sooner.
It’s probably because so much of the moderation is AI slop now, lol, I’ve made fun of MAGA voter logic and gotten my posts removed for “bigotry,” and then my appeals get denied or just flat out ignored.
Funny how when I report legitimate transphobic comments, they somehow “don’t break content policy,” but if I complain about bigotry that I’ve faced, I’m the bad guy. Unless making fun of bigots is the “true” bigotry?
You’re the one complaining that Mamdani isn’t doing enough just because his successor might do worse, when he has limited power and is still doing more than the president. Oops, Godwin’s law again, I can’t mention the president failing us just because he’s a neo-nazi, huh?
I never said that Mamdani was our problem, you’re the one complaining about him not doing enough!
Indie games like Stardew Valley and Undertale don’t need generative AI, skill issue much?
What next, it’s “irresponsible” to mention the system requirements because people won’t buy games that are too advanced for their device, which is depriving devs of sales?
Maybe being anti-consumer isn’t the best strategy to bring those “consumer” things to your marketplace, Tim.
No shit healthcare should be free, plenty of countries do that already and it’s a disgrace that the US is falling into fascism?
Mamdani can’t wave a magic wand to make all healthcare free, we don’t even have Medicare for all or universal healthcare yet because the worse politicians are capitalist and bought out by the elite.
I’d rather be “emotional” than an example of the left eating itself because you’re miserable when things aren’t perfect the first time something happens. 99% of mayors are lazy vultures compared to Mamdani and you’re directing your ire at him!
So you’re… complaining that he’s doing something that might not be done with the next mayor? Which is somehow a negative on his part, and not his future successor who would be either dismantling it or discontinuing (r otherwise not continuing) it…?
…Whatever, you’re right, Mamdani, don’t bother in the first place, give those trans kids nothing, alapakala on Lemmy is pissed off, tear it all down, it’s not worth anything if it’s not perfect to her!
I dunno about you but I’d rather that trans youth get some funding rather than zero zilch nada. He’s a mayor, not the goddamn president.
He’s no doubt going to come under fire for this by the “grrr, socialism is evil and look, now it’s coming for your kids and turning them trans!” crowd, and you’re complaining that he can’t magically pull more money out of nowhere when he’s already showing off how competent he is compared to a lot of dems in this country.
Who’s Mamdani doing it as a “temporary exploitable gesture” for, in your eyes?
He’s doing better than Trump and you’re complaining? Most democrats wouldn’t even do something like this.
“That’s just how it is” is not a good reason, just fucking explain to my autistic ass!
