Attend Churches where pastors and preachers proselytize about anything "Sinful"
Call themselves Christian proudly
Wears crosses
Says its forbidden by God to do something that the Bible says is bad
Uses the words of Saint Paul to expand on those words
Damn that sounds like they are Christian, but you know, I guess they're "not true Christians" because they happen to do everything on Saturday instead of Sunday, or don't wash the feet of the poor, or something else that caused a schism 200 years ago.
Yeah they're just the loudest and proudest people who wear crosses around their neck and only vote for other people who are loud and proud of their Christian love wanting to ban anything remotely "sinful." Everyone knows that Christians are the most oppressed in the West! Truly no one knows how hard it is to be a follower of the majority belief, and never need to defend it from the state.
Also here's a brief list of things Christians tried to cancel in the United States: Comic books, rock and roll, jazz, dungeons and dragons, magic the gathering, radio, television, other forms of Christianity, anything remotely queer, Italians, Irish, Chinese, Jews, abolitionists, civil rights marchers, feminists...
And here's the entire list of times Christians were oppressed by laws pushed by non-Christian groups/state actors in the United States and the West in general:
Thank you, Ada. That's nice to hear. Sorry you had to design something like this to solve a problem that only exists from lemmy's devs not working on their own successful software.
I genuinely do not know, I just know that a fellow mod banned and removed all posts, and I had nothing better to do than take care of it as I wait to pass out.
I'm not gonna get mad at you or other users for reporting bigots and rule breakers. If I came across as mad at you or the other reporters, that is not my intentions as I am just up at 3 AM for some reason.
Mod from 196 who had nothing else better to do than clear out the mod log of 300+ reports of the same user spamming from the same instancehttps://files.catbox.moe/rypu0b.png
I fully believe either lemmy.today either supports these actions, can't deal with them, or refuses to deal with them at this point. We've had to clean up so much spam on 196 within the last few days it's getting tedious. Either way, I personally vote for defederation until they clean up their act.
It's genuinely frustrating to deal with all of this. Doesn't help that Lemmy doesn't have good mod tools. At some point I had to double check it was even being cleared, despite the user being banned and all content removed.
That just sounds like you think people who can critically analyze media and the world suck. You must be a very boring person to have a conversation with, I can tell from this brief interaction.
Large scale wise, Doctors without Borders, World Health Organization, and the organizations that help fight for/track sex trafficked people to liberate them.
And within the US (I'm sure there's others, I'm a yank so my understanding of how things in Germany/Canada/China/South Africa go is often poor) there's the Electric Frontier Foundation, Meals on Wheels, Planned Parenthood, American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and a lot more that help most citizens and biological beings get the right to, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness that isn't actually given by any government.
Also Child's Play and Make a Wish Foundation are pretty good for sick children to get some levity in a harsh childhood. I usually chip in some online donations/sale credits to Child's Play and EFF so that they have entertainment when stuck in a hospital, and more digital rights for when they get out of it.
Even if it was, using media to explain ideas of politics isn't new nor is it bad. Like how is using Star Trek or Star Wars or any other piece of media that the public is familiar with on a cultural level inherently a "Gotcha!" to an argument/debate?
"Hey this book that was taught in classrooms has some parallels to current events."
"Wow, you're using your understandings of the world around you to make commentary? Weirdo."
TL;DR: The Satanic Temple sues you for telling publicly known truths about itself, and then takes money that could go to actual help for abortion rights.
I wish democrats were like 10% of cool as republicans fearmonger them as.
