In that case, I suggest you shut down the community. At this point the core userbase and mods have moved to another location and this community only serves to confuse noobs and casuals.

I don’t blame you for not wanting to research the veracity of pedo claims, but this is within your control as admins. If you have a community that is unmoderated and frequently taking up admin time and resources, simply shut it down.

It was Dessalines. He has strong personal feelings about anime and especially lolicon, which is why hosting the anime community on lemmy.ml is an unwise choice, imho

I don’t think him saying dumb stuff on his podcast is good evidence of a lack of intelligence. The podcast is an entertainment product, not an IQ test. Also, the likelihood of anyone saying something blatantly wrong/stupid is nearly 100% if you record them long enough and make them talk about a wide enough variety of topics.

I don’t even wanna be defending Joe Rogan but it’s just obvious that he’s not below average intelligence, and pushing that propaganda contributes to the pervasive failure of the left to understand the grievances of the right. It’s not as simple as all conservatives being idiots.

While I understand and respect the dunking in light of his detrimental effect on politics and sanity in general, I feel it’s disingenuous to imply he’s stupid. He’s just smart enough to be dangerous
