I see, you see Lemmy as being one big community, rather than separate communities that can interact with each other

so you see defederating as like locking away a part of the community, rather than a community deciding to lock up for a bit

fucking lmao

as if they can'f make an account on another instance

y'all are just hurt because you think you're being rejected and insulted by this, when they made it clear that it wasn't personal or permanent

not OP, but sure

they filmed the moon landing on the moon

all of that footage we have? Fake

they did travel to the moon but they faked all of the footage on site (the moon)

also Kubrick was there

well congrats on being lucky so far

holy shit you have zero comprehension of politics at all, do you

"fascism is when people stop listening to you", right next to "communism is when the government does stuff"

you can leave the instance if you don't like it; this allows you to access the rest of the fediverse; saying "you're blocked from the entire fediverse" is not a good reason to not defed because it's fundamentally not true

how about that whole span of time that r/the_donald was a subreddit lmao

edit: it's not censorship if you can easily move to another instance with little difficulty and just continue from there, with most of the same communities even

people like you just think someone telling them that they don't want to hear you is the same as being suppressed

surprising how little some USAmericans know this

edit: like our Overton Window is so far right that even the Democrats would be conservatives in many countries ; if someone doesn't comprehend the severity of this, they have little business talking about the alt-right

god damn it, this "free market of ideas" bullshit never fucking worked

people who are bigots more often than not double down on their bigotry when it's challenged

because it's not a reasoned position they're taking; it's "Things in my life aren't that great, and I don't trust those people; I am going to rationalize to myself that that's their fault" or "I just don't like those people and I want an excuse to hurt them"

like yeah, sometimes it's genuinely not knowing, but if you're constantly proven wrong about your bigotry and you keep doing it then you, on some level, want to continue being bigoted

the marketplace of ideas means fuck all when it comes to people telling you that you shouldn't be allowed to exist

tell me that you're a white middle class guy who's never faced marginization without teling me that you're a white middle class guy who's never faced marginalization

holy shit, how do I even begin to explain that you can't just "ignore" Nazis and racists and transphobes and letting them keep their platform

you do understand that they hurt real fucking people, right????
