You have communist symbols on your profile so I guess you'll believe whatever that ideology tells you to believe.

Anyway, you're obviously stupid. If you were intelligent you'd be able to make points without talking about dogs.

I'm not a massive supporter of Starmer, I think he's just relatively sensible, and I also think it's unlikely that Britain will have a more left-wing prime minister any time soon. The prime minister after Starmer could definitely be more right-wing. Maybe it will be Badenoch, or Jenrick, or another Tory.

Maybe you suffer from some sort of purity complex where anybody who isn't Mao Zedong is an enemy to you. If so then that's just fucking stupid, not least because all those communist leaders let their people suffer immensely. You're just a moron aren't you?

Fair points. I guess I don't mention Lemmy much online anymore anyway. If I mention it to somebody in real life I guess I'll tell them there are multiple servers to choose from.

You believe whatever your instance tells you to believe because you're a slave to an ideology

I'm not, so I think for myself, which you are seemingly incapable of.

True. I don't think I would recommend someone to look at Hexbear or Lemmygrad. Maybe I would mention Lemmy.world as the easiest entry point to Lemmy, and the existence of other servers like Feddit.org, Lemm.ee, etc.

I'm replying again because your posts are moronic. I didn't say that Starmer is my favourite politician of all time, I just think he seems relatively sensible. If I were to be an obedient dog then I would conform to whatever your shitty instance wants me to think, just like you do.

Good points. Maybe if I'm trying to explain Lemmy to someone I should just link them to a list of servers, like the one here, so they can pick a server for themselves.

Fair point, thanks for the advice. I thought it was right-wingers who were meant to be arseholes, but on Lemmy it seems that some (not all) left-wingers are arseholes too.

You're genuinely a complete freak

Fair points. I just think some people won't want the hassle of weighing up different instances, they might just want the instance with the most content and people, because I guess the most people implies reliability.

As for reasons for picking an instance, yes those are valid reasons. I picked this British instance so I can see all the British stuff when I view local posts, and other stuff when I view all posts. From another instance I guess I'd have to check every British community on feddit.uk manually.

Yes I reported your post because normal people, in civil conversation, don't refer to other people as animals. My hope with Lemmy is that people can be civil and polite but for some reason you didn't want to be.

It looks like I was right to report your post because the mods seemed to agree that it was a bad post.

Do you get anything out of being this upset on the internet?

Fair enough. Some people might just want the most active instance though.

What the fuck is wrong with you

Or https://lemmy.world/ if you just want the most active instance

Corbyn had more left-wing positions, but he lost two elections, so I think Starmer realised that a more centrist position would give Labour a better chance of becoming the government.

I guess I'm just saying that it could be worse. If Sunak had won the 2024 election then the country would probably have experienced more managed decline.

I think it would be good to try and boost the UK's tech sector, and use that sector to help the country in various ways. But I think everybody knows that AI is a bit of a tired meme at the moment.

We need a good economy so we can afford things like the NHS, but yes the economy ideally would benefit every Brit, rather than just a few rich people.

True, they probably don't want more aggravation, but they may well be open to closer co-operation on defence for example, which the article mentions.

The UK doesn't need to necessarily jump straight back into EU membership. There are other ways we can work together with Europe. Maybe at some point the UK government will consider rejoining the EU customs union and/or single market.

I wonder if Brits will campaign for another referendum on EU membership in the next few years. At the moment I think there is fatigue around the subject, but there are still many Brits who want to be in the EU.
