Out of curiosity I went to exploding-heads.com and it looks like it’s not working anymore. Is there a new place they hang out now? Are they undercover on the regular servers or something? It’d be a little surprising to me if they all just gave up on being active on the Fediverse.
Wolfballs and exploding-heads didn’t show up as a response to lemmy instances, they showed up in response to big tech censorship, which we have a lot of evidence was being heavily manipulated. As I said in my initial post, wolfballs was created and shut down before most of the big lemmy instances today even started, and exploding-heads was started before most lemmy instances existed.
I’m not saying that the US government did the DDOS attacks. I doubt the US government was the cause of shutting down wolfballs or exploding-heads except insofar as the establishment powers that be took advantage of idiots being tribal to push their pet policies to the exclusion of any others (which too many people fell for and continue to fall for hook line and sinker). Another form of attack is the omnipresent risk of cancelation hanging over anyone’s head who isn’t in line with the current orthodoxy.
I’m not letting you guys win because I think these replies are attacks, but because lemmy has become so ideologically homogenous in part because reddit became so ideologically homogenous. What’s the point? I already know what you’re going to say because it’s one big groupthink that at one point I was myself a part of (along with most of society), so there’s no benefit to it. I’m seeking truth, and there’s nothing new to be found in arguing with people after I’ve been saturated in their unconvincing arguments for years. So you win, yep, stupid me.
The core point that I’m making is that as far as I can tell, you can express unpopular views on Lemmy. Someone in another comment dug up your modlog to check if you’ve been being censored. I would argue that all your talk about censorship, when viewed in the light of the lack of any actual censorship (on Lemmy) and your silence when asked directly what views you’d like to share that you’re unable to because of censorship, means that what you want to be free from is not censorship, but criticism.
On this I mostly agree with you, yes. You can still say your stuff even if everyone’s yelling at you. I’ve done it. It’s fine. Your comment just sits there with a big negative number, up for anyone to read.
Not even close. Would you like to start talking with me about how the police are generally out doing a difficult and dangerous job, and the vast majority of them don’t do anything wrong and get tarred unfairly with the ACAB brush, and watch as none of our comments get removed? That’s actually what I believe, and presumably you agree with me, and most Lemmy people hate it.
You actually made me look back in my comment history and laugh out loud, because I found the comment where I was strongly encouraging some ACAB people to find some unincorporated land somewhere and create a whole new town with no police presence at all, since they were saying no cops would be a huge improvement, and they could live in paradise. They hated my suggestion. No one was willing to articulate why they didn’t want to do that though; they just downvoted me.
I constantly learn things from people I’m arguing with, even when their arguments in my opinion are dead wrong. In all seriousness, that’s part of why I’m talking with you right now. Because maybe I am wrong, or maybe in the course of the conversation I’ll learn something I didn’t know before.
Again: I am literally asking. Please share your truth with me. I would like to know what you are being prevented from sharing on Lemmy. I may not agree with it, but I would like to hear.
Well, let’s get the reality out of the way here first before you start acting like you are actually ‘somebody’ of authority or importance to even be answering to lol
Your motive in this response is obvious. Number one, you don’t even have the same account/s as the guy your responding too, so, you DON’T KNOW his social media experience.
Not just in lemmy BTW, on whatever other social media he uses. So first of all you are no one. Let me remind you of that, and secondly, no one on this earth owes you an explanation.
You’re a username on a screen dawg. That’s all you are. Please remember that before you try to play hall monitor again.
Unless you’re king of turd Island, I don’t see a fucking crown on your head. Or anything else to indicate some subservient request from you.
your personal opinion DOES NOT MATTER. At all. You are a nobody on the internet. Ok.
Another important thing here really quickly, mod logs can be purged. And I get the feeling that happens A LOT.
All day long in the admin chats on matrix, they talk about almost nothing other then how to ‘restrict’ ‘hide’ ‘ban’ ‘give false error on logins’ ‘see users dms and EDIT THEM’ allllll day long.
You have no brain in your head to deny that. Some if not most of these Admins have serious mental problems to be that obsessed with something that should be a fucking hobby.
That’s not something I need to prove. Go in the admin chat on matrix and see for yourself.
Oh wait. You’ll cherry pick the information. Forgot. My bad.
Give an excuse on how they are justified and so forth. You are predictable.
Honestly people who are intelligent question s***. The fact that you’ve pretty much already made up your mind as to who is the bad guy and you’re not asking other inquisitive questions about the situation or history or anything like that. Makes it quite obvious that you’ve already chosen a side based on your own f****** narrative. You don’t have an open mind you don’t have the ability to think for yourself. You rely on everyone else to tell you what to believe and the funny thing is is you think that you actually have independent thought when you don’t. Not everything is black and white there’s a gray area in between. But you can’t admit that exists because that’s admitting you are wrong something you will never do because you are too proud in your ignorance.
People who can think for themselves question s*** and they don’t just blindly f****** agree with everyone else because they say so and because that’s the right thing to do. Do me a favor and don’t f****** respond to me either I don’t have time for low life like you okay. It’s just sometimes y’all need to be called out on your dumb f****** b******* because you think some of us are afraid to when we’re not I’ll tell you that’s for damn sure I ain’t scared of you or anyone else be on the Internet or in real life.
Yooo
My dude you need some anger management
I actually am the king of turd island. I was gonna keep it low key, but you gave it away.
