I just want to say a few words because I got banned from my local NextDoor app and Reddit 2x because I get so sick of seeing so many pro-ICE class traitors cheering on the abuse thats occuring in our neighborhoods and communities in the Unites States! These same people claim to be patriots as you realize they are the same people that would have snitched on Ann Frank ffs!
The rich people that own these platforms are creating their own fake realities to feel better about themselves using banning features and bot accounts but eventually it will catch up with them. It used to be normal and standard to not be okay with dictatorships and Nazi behavior. Millennials learned about WW2 in schools ffs! We KNOW Hitler is bad!
Its so insanely UN-AMERICAN to cheer on ICE as they LARP around as fake police officers, that are somehow allowed to murder and abduct innocent civilians?! Legally VIA the Federal Government? I stand by every single thing I said in my post and these people have had EVERY SINGLE opportunity to wake up. They choose to either be ignorant or just a crappy human being. Part of living in a society means community and contributing to your neighborhood somehow but instead they choose to side with the budget clown mafia that is our government and the disgusting oligarchs that are sucking all of the US citizens dry, INCLUDING THOSE CHEERING THEM ON! Its absurd and I am so sick of being censored, constantly. I am thankful for the Fediverse… But I wish more people knew about it! Its still very niche… When this time in history is over can we as a society prioritize educating the public on privacy, mesh networks and other peer to peer networking options? This can never happen again.
P.S. I am not angry that I was banned specifically. Its because these same people complained about FrEe SpeEcH and its so evident they only ever used it to be a disgusting racist, sexist ect… hateful human being. Not because they believe in freedom.
I know… I am sorry. I just feel to helpless to really be able to do much and its awful. I contact representatives. I am in a union and actively participate. I protest when I can. I helped my local 50501 w/ planning for a bit. I try to educate people but its just so disheartening sometimes and its lonely.
You don’t need to apologize to someone who is grumpy that not everything written is relevant to him.
No, you are not annoying and Im glad to hear your experience. Its sad that 99% of communication happens in the billionaires platforms.
Cool, I’m also in a union but I’m near to being homeless and going hungry. Everyone who wants to save the world seems to ignore the people who are in need right in front of them.
My suggestion for your peace of mind is to improve the lives directly in your community. Educating people is fine (when done face to face), but bringing water and basic medical supplies to protesters is going to help attrition.
Go for the smaller victories over writing paragraphs that people skim over.
This is such a smug take. You’re criticizing someone who clearly cares and is involving themselves in the solutions. Wrong person to get snippy with. You assume so much with your post about the OP. How do you know they ignore the people in front of them?
