Guess we can consider that a confession.
as long as we get rollerball I guess I'm okay with it.
Zuckerberg, go play with your BBS and let us worry about what needs to be discussed in this myopic, dystopic world.
To be fair, American democracy was replaced with corporate Government a long long time ago.
Ya, but now you can't talk about it.
America was never a democracy in the first place
any terminally ill people down to go down in history as a fucking chad with a rifle or a drone?? anyone??
We're all terminally ill on a long enough timeline.
So... Was that an offer to be our chad?
im canadian, i wouldnt want to cause ww3 by assassinating a foreign leader.
Sorry Americans, this is your mess, you gotta clean it up this time :/
cause world war 3
dude, if a canadian assassinated any american leaders, I'd just think more highly of canadians.
plus, they're gonna invade you at some point anyway.
not that it should be your responsibility. the travel costs alone; oof. there are people who walk by these bastards every day.
Reddit is shadow banning people like crazy as well. This is scary
what's the difference between government censorship, and corporate censorship by organs closely tied to the government, and corporate censorship by organs closely tied to the government where certain phrases are randomly declared punishable by death?
Yeah, I was shadowbanned twice in a week because Reddit filters are garbage.
What does shadow banning typically look like? I would assume you don't get a notification? How do you find out?
Logout and browse your user profile page via old.Reddit it'll say banned or suspended.
Ah. That's even easier. Good to know how to quickly check.
you do a thing, but there are no interactions. maybe in only certain contexts. so to you it appears as if you're engaging, but your posts and sometimes reactions/votes don't show up except to you.
haha. seeing as I don't usually get much interaction I would never notice.
switched to lemmy as main platform on my phone a few days ago anyway. when boost for reddit finally was blocked completely. will try to be more active here and hope many other people do the same... there is a good chance with all that's going on.
yeah I probably wouldn't notice if everyone else in town was replaced by robots tomorrow until I went and tried to feed randos and found they didn't eat anymore.
How do you find out?
I assume looking at reddit through an incognito window and seeing none of your posts appearing
Hmm. Will try it some time. Sometimes it feels like being shadow-banned.... but TBH it's more likely just not so active communities / mediocre contribution on my part.
Shut down and delete your data on your US tech accounts. Their business's are worthless without our accounts.
It's a process, start today! With the easy ones and work towards the hard ones.

Wait, corporate government, like in cyberpunk?
I'm reading the Sprawl trilogy along with Shelved By Genre, and Gibson harps on the note that 'the Ultra Rich aren't human', and has some great examples in the books.
I think he was very observant, and Musk makes it so blatant.
Basically. I mean there's a bit more to it than that but it's the core idea. It's also the goal of several tech oligarchs which is why he doesn't want the peons to be able to talk about it.

Everyone needs to GTFO facebook. We can hardly do it because every other HOA and School PTA is there, but we get stop using messenger and stop having personal discussions over there.
Don't accept it when organizations require you to sign up and hand over personal information to private and commercial third parties. Requiring Facebook is an active attempt at curbing participation.

facefuck facebook
Fuck book
Hot singles want to FUCK in your area
Edit: I guess no one saw the raunchy pop up ads back in the day for "fuckbook?"
Quit Meta... problem solved
I have another solution, it's a little bloodier
Free rare steaks for anyone who quits! But how will we pay for it...
Thats a weird way of saying fascism
Welcome to Facebook the capital of Meta country, jokes aside, they are banning because it's a long term thing and they are scared of it derailing if too many people know.
Isn't that already happening ?
