Lol tankie says what?

EDIT: Never mind, this guy is masquerading as a neutral party to defend tankies, just ignore him.

Oh no, there is, because it's their responsibility as admins and third party apps are not an excuse for them to shirk their responsibility toward their users.

Needing a third party app for that kind of basic functionality defeats the point of Lemmy anyway.

The Chinese government suckering you to do your PR work for them, them too

What about the Lemmygrad retards trying to claim Tianamen Square didn't happen? How the hell is that reasonable or okay?

This is what tankies actually believe

You can literally just go to .world and read some of the comments in the biggest subs, and see for yourself

You all need to hit up Best Buy then, because you can buy a $200- $300 unlocked phone from which you can, in fact, pop out the battery.

Please for the love of god, tell me you idiots weren't signing on to contracts and indebting yourselves to phone companies just to get access to shitty, locked, censored and controlled iPhones or Galaxies.

Edit: I count 8 idiots. Holy crap, how did you let yourself get schnookered?

Wait. You people can't remove the batteries from your phone? 🤨 My phone is only 2 years old and I can take off the back and remove mine whenever I want. The fuck kind of shit companies are you buying from?

They are. Those clowns would personally bend over and let Daddy Stalin blow out their assholes if he were still alive. Block them whenever you see them, don't bother engaging with their ilk

How is that even possible?

"Churned customers?"

Totally fair and reasonable

🤦 Of course they would be the same ones.

Most of us don't read classics anymore. I always hated Moby Dick; it sucks so bad.

I know what little I know from watching nature documentaries and I think it's the same with other Americans. Most of us never get to see an actual whale in our lives, let alone eat any.

Here's the problem: everyone is fundamentally misinterpreting free speech. It doesn't mean what people think it does: it's not about stopping government oppression, it's about enforcing fundamental respect for human beings, which means hate speech is banned regardless -- because bigotry and hate speech by its nature censors other human beings, because it creates an environment where people are discredited and shunned by their peers for stupid reasons, denying them their right to be respected and heard. Hate speech isn't speech, it's censorship, and needs to be treated as a censoring act and not as speech since it's not speech, it's an action done with intent.

When people adopt that definition of free speech, we can go back to having our cake and eating it too and we'll start to get back on the right path.

To stop being tankie retards and shut the fuck up

Huh. I must confess, as a American I know all of jack and shit about whaling and such given we don't eat whale like that over here. Not even our ruling class eats whale.

...What does whale taste like?

I'm gonna throw this out there: if we're gonna have freedom of speech, it has to include advocating for the violent overthrow of the government.

The people are supposed to be in control, not the government and if the people have the rhetorical means to take their government down taken away in such a manner, they're not in control anymore. And we see where that kind of thinking leads us
