Facebook funds terrorists.

I am not immune to propaganda!

It's always that instance.

Places that advertise themselves as being free speech

• Expectation: You are free to say whatever you please
• Reality: Oops! All CSAM/racism and they ban on a hair

Mastodon never wanted to topple the social media landscape they just wanted to get on the top of it.

Fake, that's way too coherent and competent to have come from a CEO.

The closest I ever found to love was a result of me being unapologetically myself. I was a terrible person but it turns out that someone was into that. By the end I was involved with someone else's life by no effort of my own; exemplified by the fact that my first memory of them is a few years after their first memory of me. Sadly as I grew as a person we fell off and this time i'm finding it a lot harder to find someone who likes me.

You can make all the vague guesses you want, I've lived the experience and can say flat out the instance uses respectability politics to shut out criticism. Like it's clear as day to anyone on the receiving end of that what they're about.

WW3. History makes this clear.

All i'm trying to say is them defederating from lemmygrad tells you everything about that instance that you need to know. Hexbear I get, but grad holds themselves up to a way higher standard of comment quality and there was zero reason to defederate outside political. They literally only blocked the instance because they were communists who aren't afraid to calmly debunk fascist propaganda with sources, and that's an experience corroborated by literally anyone who has had the displeasure of interacting with their polite-fascist administration.

EDIT: the example you provided is not only completely useless as it guts the original intent of the message but is STILL too offensive for them, as bringing up fascism is already "killing the mood" more than enough for them to remove. Not only that they would accuse you of calling the OP a Nazi which is another way they can shut you down. Believe me I've dealt with liberal fascists my whole life i've heard it all.

If you think this is fucked up, birds have tiny little deformed hands on their wings kind of like how animators will reduce the scale of a bone for a part of a model they want to hide.

How do you respectfully say "this is nazi propaganda?" You can't. That's the point. That's why they do it.

Because you're seeing them as an idealized object of desire, not as a person.

How to break out of this: think of a bunch of flaws they could have that would be challenging but not deal-breakers.

Kind of shares the same problem I had with Mobilizon in that none of the current instances are in my region, or my language for that matter.

There's a phrase for that: Counterjerking too hard. Judging by the reactions you're getting from this, seems you've done it twice in a row.

Remember, counterjerking is not a principled stance; those who stand for nothing will fall for everything.

Fucking easy.

I quote it nearly every day

There is no problem that can't be solved by getting off Twitter

Hmm wonder why people would quit a circlejerk platform that bans people who call out when someone posts literal fascist propaganda.

It's because beehaw mandates its positivity. I once called out one of their posts as being fascist and they banned me for being rude about it.

I feel like any place that forces people to be positive in a world where there's so much injustice is always going to passively side with evil.

But that’s what’s nice, Lemmy.ml admins can’t ban me from Lemmy, only .ml

This is the one saving grace of Lemmy that saves it from just being a more overcomplicated reddit. I've probably caught the most bans on the entire federation because I don't mince words and being openly left-of-hitler makes me a threat to people who don't want to admit they're fascists. All of that and I get to continue posting because the gaps are filled by more reasonable comms and instances who don't do that.

For the first time on the internet I feel like I can just be myself and not get punished for it. I don't have to pretend to be someone i'm not. It does have a bit of a cultural rot problem (don't bring up pedophilia, Ukraine or veganism if you value your sanity) but I don't see that as being a permanent thing, more a consequence of people coming in from reddit. Once the federation matures a bit that sorta thing should dip down.
