I just got a ban for “encouraging violence”. Someone asked “what will you do to celebrate when he dies?” Someone else started talking about how they have a fantasy about getting the death note and how they’d put that to use. I chimed in with my silly fantasy of using a seance to end politicians’ careers by getting them possessed by the ghost of GG Allin, and enjoying the mayhem that would ensue.

So, anyway, right after that, I found out that all the people who were so transgressive to have actually liked that comment of mine can, as of a couple days ago, expect punishment as well. How draconian.

And so that was that. No sense in being lorded over on the internet by the same people who run HOAs. It’ll be fun watching Reddit flush itself down the toilet from over here, I expect.

      Bro, if the feds go through the trouble of setting up a honeypot to catch anti-nazi-oligarch folks, then they’re dumb as fuck. They could just start a Lemmy server.

      I think that’s one of the things that everyone on Lemmy can agree on politically

      Do you guys hate nazis?

      Yes.

      Do you guys hate oligarchs?

      Also yes!

      I mean I can’t speak for everyone but that’s a pretty common sentiment here.

      I mean I hope so, but free speech would allow you to be a dickhead here. Most here prefer the wild west option over censorship - welcome to Lemmy!

      Im a leftie (as many natives are here) but even I get bored of all the Elon bashing on here. I’m hoping it’s less of an echo chamber as the user base grows.
