They handed me a dormant sub I requested before the protest was happening, while I was protesting. So I blacked it out too and added it to the protest.

I like to imagine that admin was like “I don’t know what I expected.”

They don’t want you finding content, they want you watching the content they feed you. That’s why you used to be able to just subscribe and see videos, and then you had to ring the bell to see stuff you subscribed to (BECAUSE WHY WOULD YOU SUBSCRIBE TO SOMETHING YOU DIDN’T WANT TO SEE?) and then you only actually GET to see that content if you’re also allowing notifications to spam you about it. The process literally changed to “if you want to always see what you want, instead of what we tell you you want, you have to let us blow up your phone 24/7.” Fuck the modern internet, this is the reason I tend to just hide in my old video games most of the time now.

So they could reintroduce it 6 months later and get cheered for doing the bare ass minimum.

I mean devil’s advocate here, what do they do with social media in a socialist market?

Lemmy and kbin were created in a capitalist market. So was linux and the rest of the foss concept.

Yes, reddit bans people for hate speech. And why are you going to every sub and thread talking about this? It’s almost like it’s not just a casual conversation topic but you’re actively spreading hate propaganda. Gee I wonder WHY you keep getting banned.

Maybe don’t make political talking points from a hate group your entire personality.

Did bing really say that? I love this word.

What the fuck? Why?

“Leftwingtears” “Why do people keep banning me, this is only equal discourse!”

I can’t with these people.

I’m Jewish. They think I have secret space lasers that start forest fires. No, I don’t have to “give them a space so I don’t have an echo chamber”, a lot of them want me dead. This isn’t about politics.

Found the Trump supporter.

You can and should defederate from things you don’t want to see. That’s the whole point of the entire project, that you can control your experience and choose to interact with whatever communities you wish. The Donald has a history of brigading and generally being a barbarian horde of racist dickheads, so defederating from them makes absolute sense. This isn’t just “I don’t like your opinion”, it’s absolutely “these people have a proven history of ruining every group they go near.”

Everyone’s all “stuff to make world peace!” but I’m gonna be honest with y’all.

A lot of old video games. Like a catastrophic amount of them.

I’ll be honest, the John Oliver thing was kinda dumb in the first place. Just… Don’t post. Don’t feed reddit if you want to protest. Going to reddit and still shitposting because you’re mad at reddit and want to kill their traffic… I don’t think anyone really thought this through too well.

Just wanna make sure they’re allowed to invalidate other people’s existences because of their own world view. #JustConservativeThings

If that kind of free speech is allowed, I absolutely pray that I’m also allowed to mock you incessantly for it. Conservatives check in like “Hey am I allowed to be intolerant here? I just wanna be sure you won’t ban me for spouting hate.”

Hey, we opened up a federated retro gaming magazine. We’re actually moving the entire community over here.
