Defederation needs to be considered, honestly. I don’t want to be separated from their userbase but the extreme level of censorship is just toxic at this point.
That only happened because half the world united to put and end to the Nazi madness and completely destroyed any bargaining power they had.
I don’t see that happening here. Best case scenario they are so thoroughly humiliated and discredited that they quietly creep off into the sunset. But I’m not sure I see that happening either, honestly.
There’s gotta be at least one somewhere… but none come to mind.
How come my melon doesn’t do this? Evolution giving me the short stick yet again.
Credit to Tim Buckley for briefly becoming one of the most widely mocked people on the internet and spawning a meme that lives on to this day but just rolling with it and continuing with his dream of making webcomics.
This is going a bit off topic but you obviously haven’t looked very much at the bannings on ML if you think this is in any way comparable.
A frank discussion of certain facts around China or its leadership is automatically labeled “sinophobia” on .ml, and immediately results in an instance-wide banned. I was banned for referring to historical China (before the revolution even) as an empire. Explain how that’s sinophobic if you think it is.
You called people racist idiots and Nazis for supporting certain politicians. That goes beyond just stating the facts.
I personally don’t usually support bannings and think comment removal is a better option in most cases. But if you got banned for calling most Russians racist idiots and Nazis then I don’t think that would be too problematic.
China would be a better comparison though since they are materially supporting mass-murder but not directly doing it (at least not outside their borders). Russia is more akin to Israel in this example.
This validates my preexisting opinion that the internet is full of misinformation, therefore I will upvote it.
Even before Trump, the number of executions and forced labor in the US is much higher than most countries. I’m curious how they weigh these facts.
I personally consider solitary confinement to be torture as well but I understand that understanding is not widespread so I’m not surprised they wouldn’t count it as such.
Turns out Trump can make any world leader look good.
I keep shorting this instance but y'all keep hitting it out of the park. I'm ruined!
I’d say BPR. I think you’re largely correct on the facts but you need to be able to express them without insulting a large portion of the community you’re in, or you can expect to be banned. I understand you probably think this is a uniquely horrible circumstance that rises above such ideas of decorum but that’s obviously not how people who disagree with you will see it.
So, I’d advise you to think harder before commenting because you’ll be a lot more effective in getting the facts out there if you do.
Yeah you’ll get one board member, maybe, if they feel like it. The steps needed even just to reform capitalism to eliminate gender inequality are considered way too radical by neoliberals.
