There was a tweet from some urban African American account that was like
"what country is [trans flag]? They got the ugliest women."
This is... Truly amazing.
I wonder if it'll apply to people who post outright racist things? Ecne if it doesn't, all the people who get to establish a general consensus that free speech on politics will be allowed will make a lot of room for such people.
Let's maximize free speech!
This is another example of how the US has actually regressed.
In the 60s and 70s, journalists were protected even when they embarrassed the United States, more or less. This was the height of the cold war, yet there was more consideration for the principles of journalism than there are now.
Very wonderful so far!
Man the trans community is something else I tell ya
But it comes with the territory of massive experimental surgeries
Just made me think of Winnie the Pooh content and...
My mind had to stop there.
I think the general conservative perspective is that when police do not actually do their job, it falls on regular people to defend their property and prevent chaos from engulfing their communities.
Nobody wants a riot or general lawlessness in their areas. Poor people most of all - who have less means to replace the things that they lose.
lol
classic flick
I have no problem with that. Already it seems to be the case that things have improved.
I do not mean to put pressure on you or anything.
lol I lurked one of the nostr sites and I got that impression
Plus there's peopel who are already integrated into this community who say shit like "OH yeah I ate sushi and it was good"
and people are Zapping them (lol, some kinda crypto tip, right?) and reposting and upvoting like crazy...
and I just know that if I start posting on my own I'll do like 33 decent posts and barely get any interaction....
Meanwhile, on Twitter, I got interaction and traction...
On Gab, I got even more interaction and traction than on Twitter..!
Honestly I want to leave Lemmy - I think there's so much censorship that it isn't that worth it, and now with not being able to post consistently I just feel like lol... whatever.
Of course this is absolutely terrible for you and all the labor that you have invested in this proejct and I do not want to just up and leave a community that I appreciate and admire but I have already thought that I spend way too much time posting on the internet...
I kind of just wish we were on Nostr, all secure, not dealing with DDoS or any other shenanigans, and all the folks who didn't like it could block us as individuals...
Frankly, after all this...
After Elon purchases Twitter and allows any speech I want to make there... and after Gab has proven to be so reliable and has improved its infrastructure... I think I have less reasons to be part of these projects, at least on this level.
Absolutely love you guys but this does coincide with me coming to terms with my own issues of how much time I spend screaming into the abyss.
Smart addition
