2 out of 3 of those are immediately disqualifying for me. The third is unfortunate but I'll take old over criminal fascists every day and twice on Sunday.

They permanently banned my 9yo account with 2 million karma for using the "boxes of Liberty" metaphor in a highly up voted comment about Republicans taking away access to voting. They said it was a threat of violence. 🙄 Meanwhile fascists make literal death threats in conservative subs with no consequences.

The site has systematically been banning high volume contributors who aren't right wing enough for at least the last 3 months. They, like Twitter, are trying to suppress the voices of people who are against fascism. It is deliberate and planned.

You're showing up all over my feed with paragraphs and paragraphs of good content here and on the bereavement community. I don't subscribe to these communities because I don't need most of the info at the moment, but I like to scroll through "all" just to see what's coming in. Anyway, I've read and up voted several of your posts and just wanted to let you know your effort is noticed and appreciated.

That's roughly the speed at which these sorts of things would get identified on That Other Site™️, so that's a good sign!

These super high end places around here (Charlotte burbs) always amuse me.

I mean, dress it up all ya want but at the end of the day, your ass is still in Huntersville.

I tend to prefer fuel-based strains like Sour Diesel, Chemdawg and Rocket Fuel or Jet Fuel. Whether it's a sativa or indica dominant strain seems to matter less. If it's got that funky fuel smell, it will usually treat me right.

This is great advice, coming from someone who pondered using the "Mother was really sick and had to manage her illness and passing" excuse if I ever went back, as it was true for me too. (I'm sorry for your loss, it's a really painful life transition, I know.)

I ended up taking a slightly different approach. I worked in IT project management before I retired early. My LinkedIn resume shows me currently employed as an "IT consultant" and will until I decide I need another job or I kick it.

Thanks, I'll do that!

I haven't even visited the website version yet, so it never crossed my mind to try that. Thank you!

I'm old and out of the loop but that astroturfing was so blatantly obvious it pinged my BS meter immediately.
