I’m sick of hearing about Ed Sheeran. There are and have been people who have apolitical stances because they know how absolutely fucked the USA is and has been to where we can do so little. People who become so wired up about politics and societal issues, are in a miserable cycle of cynicism, pessimism, doomer-mindset that it drags everybody down within their presence.

I think it’s okay for some of us to try and get some leverage on the lives that we do have and try to enjoy them again. I’m not saying it’s OKAY about where everything seems to be, because it’s not. I’m just saying we need hope, solace and sanity in these times than dwelling ourselves into miserable hopelessness that it costs us our future.

Much harder to powertrip you say? Have you looked in the modlogs and see how moderators ban users in multiple instances that is unrelated to the original instance? It’s very reddit like.

Mastodon dodged a bullet though. It could’ve been them.

The point is, is that people can’t be civil enough. True freedom of speech doesn’t give you the right to shout down anyone you think is wrong when they’ve proven you wrong. That’s not how it works.

You’ve not experienced enough of the internet to know this. Actually, combing through your post history, I see why we need some censorship.

Go to KiwiFarms.

Then come back to me after a week of surfing there and wonder why.

You’re not making sense.

The idea of the president is to be naturally born. Do you see Americans become presidents/prime ministers of other countries? No, because the people of other countries, want someone who represent them. Not someone who is an outsider, who might not care about the values that the country cares about.

Good, because that damn thing is in the way. It’s just another block that is stacked on another block with another block. Just searching on Google is abysmally horrible in every way.

It’s not ready to really replace what it’s meant to replace.

I mean, people are told all of the time to make instances and make servers if the things they’re not seeing aren’t there. But there’s a problem, they’re only one person. It takes numerous people to make a community. The users we have on paper, would say that we have more than a capable amount to make these things possible.

But in practice and in activity, that’s not what we’re seeing. We can’t estimate how long exactly things will pick up as we are nearing 4 years into the fediverse. But we just know that how long it’s taking, we can expect that it’ll be quite a time before the fediverse even sniffs a quarter of activity the big social networks have.

Vimm’s Lair but be aware, downloads will slow to a crawl because it’s one of those donation sites that will only let you download full speed if you pay.

Wow, the entitlement radiating from you.

Yeah, that’s a future worth of bannings for you when you least expect it. But hey, that’s how you want your experience to be, then who am I to tell you any different. I’m just going to take this cue as a means to block you and move on.

You enjoy not growing up and victimizing yourself while not learning anything. Bye.

Yes it is because you’re basically asking to be banned or posts removed. Your stances do not matter in the way the rules are instilled here. You break them, you’re done for. You are given tools to block the people you feel are bothering you, you’ve no excuses.

All that you’re asking for again is just getting disciplined by a system that does not care about your beliefs. You’re not winning anything and the people you think are wrong are getting the last laugh as you’re treated as the problem you’re being reported as.

So again, get a grip on your maturity.

Can we fucking have nice things anymore? This is crystal clear, that CEOs of all kinds, ruin everything. Fuck you, Andy Yen.

Your maturity.

You’re being confrontational, you’re slinging insults unprovoked, you’ve responded to criticism harshly over the image you’ve used that has nothing to do with the topic. You know these things, but look at the way you’re behaving about it.

It’s obvious to me that you’re probably not that new here if your first instinct is to be that antagonizing. Which tells me that it probably lead to multiple bannings in whatever and however many accounts you’ve made before.

Doesn’t matter who started what. It’s evident that you’re hurting yourself more in this than I am.

Enjoy the reports.

The picture does not need to be that big and it has no purpose at all for the topic at hand. Also, you are handling criticism very poorly.

I don’t feel very compelled to engage in this.

In retrospect, he’s right. Since then, billions of people have entrusted their information online to social media platforms time and time again. To Google. Facebook. Reddit. Twitter. Anywhere and everywhere. They haven’t learned a thing.

In the 90s as the internet was developing, we were warned to be cautious about who exactly are to know what about us as we surfed online. Like it was dumb to make your screen name, your real name or have parts of your real name. It was dumb to make your password resemble things about you or to make it easy to guess.

Nobody can say that we didn’t have the warnings. But by the turn of the 2000s and since, we just didn’t care. And it’s just funnier and funnier how so many people NOW start to care about privacy AFTER THE FACTS…

Same reasons big retail companies do it. Release thousands of workers, absolve yourself from paying their insurances and salaries. Reap the rewards. Go back to hiring people, do it again for another quarter.

And before that, wading through 200 asset flipping games before finding something good.
