an mbin magazine for all things related to history
Also published on this day, but in 1953, the dystopian novel Fahrenheit 451, inspired by the book burnings in Nazi Germany.
"So now do you see why books are hated and feared? They show the pores in the face of life. The comfortable people want only wax moon faces, poreless, hairless, expressions."

Why are you trying to make click bait headlines for a quote?
It's really getting to the point I need to just block every real namer I see, I don't know if you're home instance formats posts like LinkedIn or what, but you all are just always doing weird shit like this.
@givesomefucks I'm sorry, would you mind elaborating?
(Just to add in case you do: Sorry for upsetting you, and I wish you a pleasant rest of your Saturday!)
The big one is always tagging who you reply to, which for whatever reason goes around Lemmy's block.
But I think the main issue is you all don't even know you're posting to communities when it happens.
This is what your post looks like:

So I'm going to block you again, feel free to reply again but tagging people after they block you is a faux paus and seen as very spammy. And completely unnecessary for Lemmy.
But again, I think the main problem is all you real namers don't even understand you're making posts to these communities. Which is why I'm just blocking the rest I see and not taking this time to explain the posts you all keep making seemingly accidentally.
I'll reply here without tagging you, I was not aware of you having blocked me, or that Lemmy does not respect blocks.
First, I don't know too much about how Lemmy works, clearly, I primarily use Mastodon myself, and I did not go out of my way to have my post show up at that link. It looks like this was reposted by a bot because of the "history" hashtag that I used?
I would suggest blocking accounts that do that, if that's an option for you, it's not really a fault of the people whose post are being reposted to where you can see them.
Also, I am still puzzled by the original response suggesting that a quote from a book is a "click bait headline". Definitely not intended that way.
I'm just on Lemmy.world, browsing "active", and your post shows up like this:
So it looks like it's not a repost by a bot. But never mind me, I've no idea of how any of this works, just posting what it looked like at my end.
