          Man goes to the doctor.

          He says “Doctor, I am miserable. I have been banned from one of my favourite Lemmy instances for no good reason.”

          Doctor says “Treatment is simple. db0 runs a community for disputing wrongful bans. Go argue with strangers. That should pick you up.”

          “But, Doctor…” says the man, “I was banned by db0.”

        But here it’s a lot easier to set up a new home.

        [email protected] is still very popular but I saw the writing on the wall and jumped to make an alt [email protected] because people had gripes with the Midwest admin and I wanted to prevent an inevitable Lemmy.world alternative from appearing.

        And now we happily co-exist. Theirs tends to focus more on the political while I like to also post the more mundane, slice-of-life, articles

      When something big becomes privatised, it’s the start of the end. When that company goes public, its enshittifcation always will commence. What I am going to say right now may come as a shock, but I shall go.

      Companies care only about stakeholders and no one else.

      Fascism has only one answer: to end it. Luigi has shown us how that can be effectively done. Other and more peaceful methods are always preferable, but fascists themselves try to seize the nation.

      Consider that they’re busy censoring you, and have been busy trying to mislead you into thinking that queers, Jews, Muslims, or immigrants would be the “woke” or “stealing” enemy.

      Consider then, that those groups I mention, also hate censorship of their lives. They want to live in peace and don’t care about what you do.

      We have a shared enemy: the pedophilic oligarchs, called Trump and Musk’s cabinet and every billionnaire.

    Today i saw a deleted comment in a post titled “trump says he will label violence on tesla dealerships as domestic terrorism” and someone quoted it to express their shock that the comment was deleted. It was “elon and the orange dictator need to be removed from the board” and on top of that people are getting moderated messages warning them that they are liking content related to Luigi mangione. And they are even deleting people’s comments that mention the name luigi mangione.

    We are in a full fledged fascist authoritarian police state. The only way to remedy it is a revolution. The system is under complete corporate control and has shown that it will not allow self remediation through its own mechanisms. Like the Princeton study proved the amount of influence one has upon legislated policy is directly correlated with the amount of wealth you have with regular working class people having a statistically irrelevant near zero impact on policy regardless how popular or unpopular the policy may be. This is the reality. There is no way forward that isn’t uncomfortable. And those who believe they are too comfortable to risk what they have need to really examine their reality and see if it truly is comfortable or just a meaningless existence of repetitive wage slavery with basically no autonomy or meaning within such an existence. And at the rate the working class habe lost what little we had that was worth working for in the last 5/6 decades how much more will be lost in the future decades and at that point how can you even believe your children will have any semblance of a life worth working and living for? Something needs to be done now before it is too late which it unfortunately may already be. The internet which was supposed to revolutionize human connection and the spread of ideas and information has been weaponized against us to the benefit of the ruling class and something needs to be done to counteract this. The fact that it was easier for people to mobilize and effect change before the magic glowing screens disseminating propaganda becoming so widely available says all we need to know. There is still hope but thst possibility is dwindling faster by the day. But those saying that the answer is to get out and vote and advocating for ballot box socialism/ ballot box progress are deuded and misinformed.

      To be fair I would say a mass-orchestrated event of committing arson and destruction of private property across the nation should be classified as domestic terrorism… if you remove politics from the equation, it’s still terrorism.

        This is authoritarian fascism. fascism is the intersection/integration of government and corporate power and now the government is overtly run by corporatists and being used to protect their capital? People aren’t destroying government institutions here they are destroying a billionaires piece of shit ev that has dozens of issues and that his publicly traded corporation cant give away so they have lowered the price so many times to try and coax dumb rich people to buy this $100,000 paperweight. If musk was so concerned about the public lashing back out against his reprehensible ideology then he should have thought a minute before doing a blatant fascist salute not once but twice at a live televised presidential inauguration. Maybe we can remove politics from it when the guy in charge of this dumpster fire of a corporation removes himself from politics(or the demographic of people actively performing cellular respiration). The sooner the better.

            Maybe people shouldn’t buy products from Someone who spouts fascism from every orifice and did an obvious and blatant fascist salute TWICE at a presidential inauguration. Maybe if they can afford one of these dumpster fires on wheels they should break their contract and sell it or just put it in storage until the contract expires and drive a hybrid or even an electric Lexus like someone with a functioning cerebral cortex.

    Permabanned after nearly 12 years. Forgive me for hating Nazi’s. I’d made the statement fuck all Nazi’s but six several times but this time was this time I got automod flagged. They are pretty much flagging the word Nazi regardless of context or overall statements made. The same goes for the word Luigi. Also, Karma is basically useless considering downvoting too much can also lead to a ban. It is pretty ridiculous. I’d never been banned once for any reason except for the last 6 months where I’ve been sub banned or gotten 3-7 day bans several times for making points about the sorry state of affairs in America lately. Forgive me for not bowing to kiss the fascist MAGA ring. Reddit has really put profits over people this time with these stupid rules and no real care in reading appeals or looking at context during moderation. It is all for their bottom line and oligarch investors now.

      Interesting. My 10 year old account also got perma banned for telling someone defending the third Nazi salute to “go to hell”.

      Apparently I should have told them to “go fuck themselves”. But telling them to “go to hell” was inciting violence or whatever.

        Yeah, I’ve said fuck all Nazis but six or kill all Nazis but six a hundred times on there, but this time was a bridge too far apparently. I really don’t care if they think it is violent. They’ll get theirs eventually I guess if history is a cyclical as it seems. Just gonna keep on trucking and spreading the word when I can, but it sure as shit ain’t going to be on Reddit. I think I’m getting too old, grizzled, and cynical for any form of social media anymore anyways. It’s all just so… fake. Reddit was the last bastion for me.

        Yep. The whataboutism and trying to play the both sides are wrong shit is so old. I think it is fair to say that a large portion of the Democratic party are gutless centrist DINO’s, can’t get their point across, can’t get a coalition going, and have no real power or momentum right now, but to try and argue that they are as bad as the conservatives is complete nonsense. Certainly, no party is perfect but to even try to say they are equivalent is folly of the highest order. Many in the republican party are fascists and I’m sick of people pretending that they aren’t. Nuanced conversation is lost on the bots, AI slop, and the rest of the idiots on Reddit.

          Banning people who aren’t “safe spacey enough” is fucking stupid.

          People can be abrasive. People can be mean. People will absolutely take your shit if you let them.

            So your argument is that we potentially lose valuable insight?

            I agree in principle, but it is hard to balance.

            Because without a certain amount of civility we potentially lose the voice of minorities and oppressed groups of people.

            In a free democratic country you of course should be legally allowed to be abrasive and say mean hurtful things.

            How would you balance/solve this dilemma on a social network? The same way as the law?

      Most people agree punching nazis is fine, very few people agree on who is and isn’t a nazi.

      It is precisely because useful clueless idiots are constantly being classified as nazis that no one is taking accusations of actual nazis seriously. Within society the meaning of the word has degraded to “mean people I don’t like”.

        Nazis thrive on diluting language—twisting words like “freedom” and “patriotism” to serve their agenda. Ironically, the same thing happens when “Nazi” gets thrown around carelessly. Mislabeling people weakens the term, but so does refusing to acknowledge real extremists. Precision matters—both in calling out threats and in resisting linguistic manipulation.

          The door is located after you click your username in the upper-right corner, and choose “Settings” from the drop-down. Scroll to the bottom of the page. On the left, in red, is a button to delete your account.

          I’m not sure what really happens after that, though - I’ve never gone out that door. IIRC a deletion can take time, since various servers have to sync that information.

          -Takes a bong hit-

          So in a way, a recently-deleted account continues to exist across the Fediverse for a while. It is temporarily trapped to this plane of existence, until it can complete its final mission (deleting itself) across every corner of its known Fediverse. Then, and only then, can an account truly experience deletion.

          -Passes to the left-
