the creator of Loops blocked me on Mastadon because I said him generating images with AI was ironic.

I didn't say anything about a dictatorship. A democracy isn't thousands of people propping up a single figurehead to "represent" them, time has taught us countless times all that accomplishes is a recipe for corruption. Democracy looks like people assemblies and congresses, people actually representing people. The fact that you and others saw my comment and immediately went to dictatorship actually really illustrates my point. The west has a lot to learn about democracy.
Electoralism is the greatest lie the Western population has been sold on, and it's so fiercely defended.
stay the absolute fuck out of gay bars if you are straight and cis tho
Lots of people are here from reddit, so the chances of them being very racist is quite high based just off that.
Not to mention how bigoted and white focused the general tech space is, it was built by and thrives off of the white supremacist perspective. That's the real reason why alternative social media platforms don't take off, or when they do they just end up being absorbed by the exact same issues they were supposedly created to avoid, ie Bluesky.
What's the point in getting off reddit if the reddit attitude infects the alternative too? If you want to create an alternative social media platform that's actually worth using you need to make bigots uncomfortable, and follow the doctrine of the intolerance paradox. But asking nonblack people to do that is often met with ridicule or snarky superiority complexes.
I might even get downvotes or snarky responses proving that🤷♀️
It's easy to call us cowards, in reality we live in a surveillance state that makes trillions of dollars by killing and torturing it's own citizens. In a place like this lacking morals becomes a question of survival. Definitely not excusing it, but it's the truth.
