I'll tell you I've never been censored for saying Jews are commiting a genocide against the Palestinians on Reddit. Say it here though and you'll be censored and labeled a racist. I've never been banned from huge swaths of servers for "ignorant lib chauvinism," on Reddit. Not once in the 14 years I used the platform.
𤣠sure dude, you should look at the comments I was defending against. Threats of murder, misandry, misinformation, harassment. That's all alright with you though. Man the left is so cooked if y'all gatekeep like that. I'm not being hyperbolic when I say Lemmy is much much worse with censorship and gatekeeping than reddit ever was/is.
Edit: censorship for perceived "liberalism," give me a break. What a crook of manure.
Edit2: it's even worse than I thought đ¤Ł. Banned for "ignorant lib chauvinism" what a dumb reason. Censored for racism for saying I don't give Jews the benefit of the doubt after they pulled a genocide against Palestinians.
𤣠that's the most mild misogyny I've ever heard. If that's all it takes to get banned from an entire instance you guys are fucked in the future. I can't believe I've not seen this pettiness before. This whole project is a joke. Death threats are a ok, but mild misogyny gets you banned? You all are warped in the head it that's how you feel.
Well I've never been harassed, doxxed, and threatened to be murdered by racists or pedophiles simply because I disagree with them. Only tankies and fascists would do that.
I'm fairly left on the political spectrum, probably further than most, but hexbear and a lot of .ml are left to the max, as in they're tankies. I can't stand right-wingers much, but tankies are worse by a large margin.
Shit, they attempted to harass and dox me when I offered an opinion that didn't agree with their very rigid worldview. I kept poking at their stubbornness then they banned me. I'm a stubborn SOAB myself.
Now I'm questioning if I should continue to use this platform. I've definitely started using it less since then, knowing that this platform is run by tankies.
Or you could just pay attention and you would already know which businesses you need to boycott. Unfortunately I'm all too familiar with Americans, as I am one, and I know most of us pleebs don't have the fortitude to apply austerity to ourselves for very long. We like our treats too much.
That's the problem with people like you. You just assume someone that doesn't agree with your ineffective BS isn't a real person. Keep protesting if you want IDC, but don't be deluded into believing that will amount to real change against people that want those like us dead. Fascists don't respond to peaceful protesting. Boycotting is much more effective than hitting the streets with signs. These cretins only respond to monetary loss.
What has holding signs accomplished? These protests are doing nothing. Trump is more emboldened than ever. Keep holding your pretty little signs and affecting no change. This isn't the civil rights movement. I sit until we have the ability to change any of this. Boycotting is the best I can offer next to bullets.
Ignorance is bliss friend. At this point there isn't much I can do but to protect mine and myself. We're in a limbo period where folks aren't mad enough to revolt, but are mad enough to be pissed off. We need to get a whole lot angrier before real action can happen. Holding up signs and being annoying isn't going to affect real change with these people. So until the populace is at the angrier stage of things I don't care to hear about all the illegal things the Trump admin does, I can't possibly hate this guy more than I already do. All this info does is piss me off and ruin my day.
Good luck wrangling in the budget Republicans. But now that they're in power they no longer care about the budget. I'm getting excited for the inevitable market chaos. MMW bullets will be the new gold.
