  • I know you can see it, it's no secret, but

    1. it's missing to whom and to what I replied to
    2. lots of comments have been deleted, you can't even see those afaik

    In most cases I'd say I am not trolling nor being disingenuous. Maybe I did troll when I replied just "Orange man bad" to someone, but even then I was trying to create a bigger argument that Trump doesn't work alone and the issue is much bigger than 1 bad guy - there's the people around him, the party around him, etc. - and this is my genuine opinion, again, stupid or not. :/

  • Really? The guy who called me a moron didn't get a ban. I was polite to him, but got one anyway 😆 What I'm getting at is, when did free speech stop applying to stupid people? (I'm assuming that's why you think I deserve it - for being just factually incorrect, not too rude or anything?)

    Ok I'm wrong about stuff, I'm being stupid, but isn't it better for others to rebut my arguments than just banning me? Like if you ban me you don't change my mind, nor do I just stop existing or anything...

    I've been thinking about this topic lately, now that corporate social media is all about "free speech" since Trump got re elected. I don't use those platforms, but I think they banned obvious cases like racists and such, and then everyone could pretend those people didn't exist anymore and we live in a nice and happy world without racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. But it's been festering in the background, and now BOOM! you get Trump 2.0 😄

  • Damn, reddit, really? That sucks 🙁

  • I think you're right but no one wants to hear it. Everyone's extremely polarized and people seem to be happy to point the finger and say "you voted wrong" with smug arrogance. I bet a lot of Trump voters felt like they didn't have a better choice.

  • Choo choo I guess... or whatever noise tanks make 🤷‍♂️

  • Second Thought is awesome I loled that you left because of him 😄

  • I despise 2fa. I hate needing my phone within reach at all times, especially considering it's a device I don't own, I don't have root on. There must be a better way.

  • I was with you up until the Mars bit 😄

  • I think places like Lemmy are better suited for discussions and ofc ongoing events and politics are a huge part of that.

    Have you tried 9gag and other more "lightweight" and meme oriented platforms?

  • That would still leave social media in the hands of foreign corporations. I'd prefer stuff like Lemmy and Mastodon.

  • Brilliant 😄

    The way I see it these folks don't respect my time when pulling off shit like this.

  • Inb4 tankie I think hexbear is pretty cool
