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.

Someone should start a magazine specifically to catalog the subs that aren't cool with fediverse crossposting, to save the hassle.

Most big subs ban those full stop. Just because of what you're suggesting.

I also don't like the Lemmy devs because of the nonsense they pull around the topic of the Chinese and Russian governments.

Still don't block the people on my subs from talking about it. Because I'm not an asshole, and I don't have to like everything that gets posted to my subs.

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.
