Someone that acts confident when they shouldn’t, is colloquially known as a “conman”.

No, that’s incorrect.

A “con man” aka Confidence Trickster is a grifter who gains your confidence in order to scam you.

Having false confidence in itself does not mean someone is necessarily a swindler. It could just be that they are delusional or misinformed.

Don’t think so, kbin’s not stable yet.

I’m a bit out of the loop though because I prefer mobile interface.

Just any kbin account will do it. The info is there in ActivityPub so sooner or later there will be a client that includes it, if there isn’t yet.

(My main’s at kbin.social but we are temporarily on read-only here at lemmy.world due to our servers going haywire, so to comment here I have to use my lemmy account).

It’s nice that you visited, but I believe people like Desmond Tutu, who actually lived through Apartheid in South Africa..

There’s a reason why South Africa are the ones with the case against Israel in the international courts. They know what this is.

Honestly, just get yourself an account that allows you to see who votes and vote order, it will save you a lot of paranoia.

3 of the first 11 upvotes are people I recognise and have interacted with. It’s obviously not sockpuppets.

If the downvotes I can see, two of the first 3 are people I’ve recently interacted with as well.

I’m a non-US fediversian and I upvoted it because I thought the headline was funny and because I sympathise with Americans for having to choose between these two old men (who aren’t even Bernie Sanders, which would have been more understandable).

I’d never heard of Ed Zitron but this is the second good blog I’ve seen by them this week.

Yeah from the headline I thought the judge said “sit like a dog” to him.

Totally with you on the important part, which is everyone needs to de-google now.

I didn’t downvote you personally (I only downvote spam), I was just pointing out the flaw in your logic, in passing.

If what you’re saying is true, I would expect the opposite outcome

I don’t see why you would expect upvotes for snidely implying the worst about people in here though.

I’ve almost de-googled and came here when I saw the crosspost was in this community especially because I was hoping for discussion on degoogling.

I like Here We Go (used to be Ovi). Its realtime traffic is pretty good.
