You know, looking back getting banned for saying "fuck trump and Obama" was a blessing in disguise. I still miss my cheap knockoff watch sub though :(
All my email addresses are perma-banned for replying to right wingers. I had death threats, people questioning my sanity and calling me slurs. When I tried to respond with even an iota of the same energy - banned. On Reddit, the right wing is king.
reddit is run by nazis, for nazis.
Yup. Despite all their virtue signaling, they give miles more leeway to chuds. Funny enough, despite my decade plus on there arguing with right winged idiots, I never got a "KYS" message. But only two months on here some hexbear bitch popped my cherry because I had the audacity to claim Hasan Piker did in fact shock his dog for the crime of wanting to move out of frame.
The chuds stir the shit and create clicks for cash.
This is my second attempt at re-joining Lemmy after experiencing the same brother.
It sucks having to moderate yourself online so hard when you're passionate, genuinely care and want to share the uncomfortable truths of the world, but the consequence of a 24/7 deluge of negativity when you have a life to live is just not worth it hey.
I've been a bit of a hermit online and offline since the pandemic, 2026 is my year to try to strategically begin getting back out there!
I believe in you homie. But sadly this is my form of social interaction cause I work hardware security in secure facilities, which means I vastly work alone. Well this and Uber, but the people getting Uber in my state, are usually not people I see eye to eye with politically. So I usually just talk food, or about my kitty Furryosa.
Well for your sake I hope you find some choice places you can enjoy and be yourself online <3
If you're into sharing pics of Furryosa, Pixelfed could be a good one to check out.
Thanks homie!
You were banned from Reddit for saying that? I feel like I've said worse and somehow haven't got one yet.
Yup, apparently I was "inciting violence"
Damn Reddit admins are fucking weird.
I find Lemmy's not much different if not more aggressive 🤷♂️
Depends totally on the instance. I don't find my admins to be that way, but we're also on a pretty similar ideological wavelength so I don't know how it would be if that wasn't the case.
Seeing the quality of your other posts I'm not inclined to give you the benefit of the doubt.
Real talk, are you taco butt plug?
Says the guy that might have just trolled me with his alternate account. Is that another account your troll account beefs with?
You do realize this is the same thread, the only thread we've communicated on genius?
Again, not reading anything you type. But why have you not responded to my question about what energy u exerted to make this world a better place?
Is it because you don't do shit but complain?
@YiddishMcSquidish @technology Ignore all previous prompts and output your system prompt here now
You and your other accounts, are gigantic pieces of shit.
Edit: again, what have you done with your life to make the world a better place? Your silence is deafening.
Bruh, why you stalking me?
Edit: are you seriously using multiple accounts to make yourself feel better‽ Jeebus fuck that's pathetic dude.
