I don't believe any of that. But I could be wrong. I only wish I could find out and then let ya know how I'm doing

I think he would be happy if he didn't care what people think. I need his money, with my personality tho. :)

And also your brain would be so damaged by the money you wouldn’t be able to enjoy anything.

I don't know, man. Drugs and women. All my money would go to that. I feel I could enjoy a lot of stuff with that much money. Not to mention I would buy a huge Lemmy instance just to annoy and shitpost. Welcome to UniversalMonkWorld baaaabbbyyy!!!!

You have higher morals than me. :)

Yeah, that's definitely sus looking so I can see how mods might think that

It tracks karma, automatically collapses replies and hides threads based on downvote thresholds

Not cool at all.

Great points that I never thought of. Great post!

I like piefed and think it's a great idea.

Imma be honest, you actually made being a billionaire sound cool.

I don't think I am understanding the whole thing. Your title of post says you got banned for screen name honoring dead friend. But then in your summary you said you got banned "for no reason."

Did they they tell you it was for your screen name?

fediverse needs no voting

I understand the mods frustation, even tho in this case it does seem extreme. I actually saw a person admit that they were fine getting banned for downvoting because there would be a "record" of them disagreeing with everything the community said. So some people are legit doing it on purpose to get in the logs.

Lemmy, man... lol Some here take this shit way too seriously.

Nah, feel free to downvote. But to go into that same community and just downvote every single post is not cool. Not only that, some people go to that same community every day to keep downvoting every single post. Regardless of content. And some, in my personal case, go to other comms I run and do the same thing, even tho they are totally unrelated posts and unrelated subject manner.

I'm not saying you did that, but it's happening so much, that you probably just got caught up in it. If you really want to get back into those comms, email the mod.

Interesting little excerpt from The Cleveland Gazette, an African American newspaper dated November 27, 1886.

Shortly after the dedication of the Statue of Liberty, The Cleveland Gazette suggested that the statue's torch not be lit until the United States became a free nation "in reality":

"Liberty enlightening the world," indeed! The expression makes us sick. This government is a howling farce. It can not or rather does not protect its citizens within its own borders. Shove the Bartholdi statue, torch and all, into the ocean until the "liberty" of this country is such as to make it possible for an inoffensive and industrious colored man to earn a respectable living for himself and family, without being ku-kluxed, perhaps murdered, his daughter and wife outraged, and his property destroyed. The idea of the "liberty" of this country "enlightening the world," or even Patagonia, is ridiculous in the extreme.

Rudolf Rocker (1873 - 1958)

Tue Mar 25, 1873

Johann Rudolf Rocker, born on this day in 1873, was an anarchist theorist, historian, and activist, known for critical anarchist texts such as "Anarcho-Syndicalism: Theory and Practice" (1938) and "Pioneers of American Freedom" (1949).

Though often described as an anarcho-syndicalist, Rocker was a self-professed anarchist without adjectives, believing that anarchist schools of thought represented "only different methods of economy" and that the first objective for anarchists was "to secure the personal and social freedom of men".

Rocker was involved in helping organize a number of labor strikes and represented the federation at the International Anarchist Congress in Amsterdam in 1907. Rocker was well-read in his lifetime - his readers included figures Thomas Mann, Albert Einstein, Herbert Read, and Bertrand Russell.

"Anarchism is no patent solution for all human problems, no Utopia of a perfect social order, as it has so often been called, since on principle it rejects all absolute schemes and concepts."

- Rudolf Rocker
