Removing them isn't enough. Over 77 million people saw his previous term, looked at him now, and said "Yep! I want more of that!" And the media being complicit doesn't help, either.

Seriously. This election has basically validated every single criticism the left has levied against the United States since Reagan and then some.

Law is typically enforced at the end of a gun. If the government won't do anything to stop these people, someone else will.

As opposed to all those other times in history that the Internet existed.

I've been trying. Unfortunately, people in power seem totally unresponsive to the needs of the people. Don't know what the optimal solution for that is, but historically, the solution is usually something you're not allowed to encourage on social media.

 

Have you heard of the critically acclaimed webcomic Homestuck? With over 8000 pages and the award-winning soundtrack and animations which you can experience the entirety of for free with no restrictions on reading time.

What is there to think about? I complain about people who support Soviet-style dictatorships having full control over online platforms moderating exactly as one would expect, and I get told by Random Guy On The Internet #368,452 that I'm apparently a hypocrite because wanting action to be taken to stop authoritarians from controlling social networks makes me the real authoritarian or something. All this to "suit my agenda", which in this case is wanting to be able to say that authoritarians are bad.

God forbid I find arguments like that incoherent and unworthy of taking seriously.

I'm so bored of that line. At least come up with something different.

Yep. Something needs to change if we want Lemmy to be something besides a place for Soviet simps to hide from criticism. Authoritarianism cannot be tolerated.
