      That would be interesting. I don’t believe the data exists. Just need a definition of bully, a list of kids who are bullies (which would be difficult given they are children and that has ethical issues), and a follow up to see if they went to cop school, became cops, career length, etc.

      The stats would be easy to do.

      I imagine asking a cop would be a bad idea (might go to jail for example), but maybe their former teachers or classmates could work? I’m just yapping at this point lol

          Ah shit. Honestly I don’t understand this platform as much as I should. To busy trying to make it to focus on what is important to me (again).

          Our memes comrades. They are for all. But do as you wish, I would never tell you how to live your life.

          For each force, an equal and opposite reaction. This drink is in honor to the next one who finds out.

          May they never fuck around again. In this life, and the next. Me too, thanks.

          • Well, in my opinion LW is just too big and poorly gatekept. Having one huge instance that dwarfs all others is bad architecture for the fediverse and there are a lot of alts and people on there hell bent on silencing others. Before my instance defederated LW every single post we would make would get to -5 within 20 or so minutes regardless of what is posted and it was a huge amount of different user accounts doing it, I can see the votes as the instance admin. This made it really un fun to post when it immediately got buried on everyone’s feed and our posts never got any comments as it felt like posting into the void. We went through a lot of changes since then I appointed a friend to be admin, we defederated LW and Lemmy.ca and turned off downvotes. Now we have a pretty good comment to post ratio and more active users than I ever expected for a small vegan focused instance.

            In terms of them being “our memes” the joke is going to be funnier than that. Only because this guy is fighting imaginary “tankie” demons and reposting literally everything so he can spare others from being exposed to tankies. If you read their reasoning it is totally daft. The idea is to hide a faint water mark that just says cm0002 is a 🤡 on different posts and see if they get reposted. I just think that would be hilarious.

    Or a school teacher (that way they can enforce bully solidarity by punishing kids who stand up to their bullies)

      When I was in kindergarten I broke a bullies nose and for that they wanted to hold me back a grade to separate us instead of punishing the racist homophonic bully in any way.

        In 7th grade another kid ran up and started swinging on my way out the gate after school. Neither of us were competent fighters, so no serious blows were landed by anybody. But I still got suspended for being jumped because, in their exact words, “But what did you do to de-escalate the situation?”

      Sometimes I feel we are doing the next generation a disservice by teaching them to not bully others. Shouldn’t adults stop bullying each other before we ask the younger generation to do the same?

      To be the example to aspire towards for the next generation. Maybe next life…
