    You know you don’t have to comment on every news article that exists, right? And maybe if it’s something in an area you don’t live in we don’t care about your opinion.

      Sorry tiger you might want to try again. I’m Australian too. And that’s a ripper attitude, not at all insular and parochial.

      My point was poking fun at these dorks trying to suggest the sudden influx of comments was some sort of global conspiracy rather than the existence of the northern hemisphere. Almost as dumb as the dorks suggesting people will now get arrested for “hailing a tram”.

        Nobody was suggesting that. For the most part, people are surprised to see this make it outside of Australia. Most of the time people outside of Australia don’t care about Australian news, in the same way I don’t care about some obscure new law that’s been passed in Azerbaijan or Scotland. Nobody would expect minor Australian news to make it to all or active because 99% of things posted here are only seen by a few people on other instances. And before I realised it had done that, of course I thought it seemed fucking suspicious there were this many comments on and votes on a post here. Any sane person would.

      Post on the internet where the entire world can see it.

        yeah nah mate literally no one is saying that.

        What has been intimated is “gee. it’s awfully strange how many people suddenly have opinions about a place they normally couldn’t give four shits about as soon as we start banning nazi shit.”

        Read what you like, idgaf. but when something that introduces legislation suddenly blows up with OPINIIIONS from non regs? Yeah, you’re gonna get a side eye

        and yeah, maybe we don’t give a shit about your opinions on how we ban nazis. Fuck’em

          Right, I’m sure you have no opinion on things like Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, or Donald Trump, or Brexit, because you don’t live in those areas.

          and yeah, maybe we don’t give a shit about your opinions on how we ban nazis. Fuck’em

          Never shared my opinion on how you ban nazis. Just pointing out how it doesn’t make sense to have a Lemmy post and think somehow only Australians can read it.

          But seeing as you don’t live in my area I guess I don’t give a fuck if you don’t like my opinion. That’s apparently how this works right?

            …yeah you keep going to that well. Hyperbole isn’t serving you the way you think it is.
