Don’t ever show your face, don’t give out job or home address or where you work, don’t post photos where you reflect back, don’t fall for thirst traps and give out your photo to supposed hot N sexy babes, also vpn and tell ppl you live in Texas when you really live in Vermont to fuck with doxxers

Yeah like I’m going to trust a council of mods with agendas over the will of the ppl, terrible idea, sounds narcissistic and tyrannical, no offense. As a fellow conservative i respect you but I’m in agreement with some of the other users here and say Hard pass homie. I would rather get digitally face fucked by all the lib users of lemmy and give them free rein to say what they like on my own instance then get out voted by ten losers making decisions for us all from mommies basement while they down Cheetos and chug soy milk

What goes on down there truly is a tragedy. For many years, they had a corrupt government. I know many people from there, and they’re heartbroken as to what is happening.

My grandmother was born in Berlin, Germany in 1938. She watched the Gestapo put a handgun to her grandfathers head and murder him because he wouldn’t give up his grandsons to fight the russians towards the end of the war. Seeing an old woman cry towards the end of her life about the horrors of ww2 and the atrocities of nazis then the subsequent pillaging of berlin by russian soldiers (she witnessed her mother get gang raped by russian soldiers) i find your comment to be ignorant and offensive, Trump isnt a nazi and if he was you would’ve seen him arm his supporters to the teeth with military grade equipment and wholesale murder liberals like it was going out of style

Describes a lot of us

“Dumpster fire” a term that has described reddit for quite some time now

The real question is why are people still using that instance?

It’s up to you, but you would have to go to this website, create a profile, and then from there you could create your own community https://exploding-heads.com/comment/30820 what did you have in mind anyway?

You can only make communities on instances you made your profile on (i think) but commenting or posting is something you can do, are you interested in making a community? because if so on my instance, anyone can do that you will not be prohibited

It’s been great in my opinion, i feel like since they came on everyone is talking again, i just had an insightful conversation worth a a group of people about climate change in Canada causing the fires, im a trump guy/ poop poster but im also for helping the environment and i enjoyed the conversation very much, i think everyone is trying to gain users understandably but I’m glad that the instance blocking isn’t happening again and I’m glad ppl are embracing community blocking as an alternative

I feel like I have something to offer in terms of my thoughts on this matter. Under President George W. Bush, he passed The Patriot Act. I have read certain parts, if not most of the patriot act, and my understanding of it is, is that if someone is threatening to harm themselves or someone else, especially a child and giving great details and context to the crime or self harm that they are going to commit this could be problematic and could get you shut down technically by the US government and perhaps even sued in some cases because you decided not to do anything and let somebody just basically talk about for example, how they’re going to kill a child. Say, for example some crazy guy wanted to lay out his plans on how to commit genocide upon a minority group within the United States, if you did nothing about that and then something crazy happened and they traced it back that he had posted about it on your website, I think there might be some legal complications for you down the road. the same goes for say a guy was planning to rob a bank in great detail, and then did it or for example, a serial killer was talking about the various killings he had committed. You are giving people like that a platform to hype himself up to actually commit the crime and celebrate their criminality. There is a fine line between satire and what can be considered an actual threat to public safety or something like that. Many of us have different views on censorship, but I think calls to genocide and planning of criminal acts and planning of murders completely crosses the line. anyway, I hope that helps.

You have 3 options of viewing posts in regards to where they’re posted, choose all for everything across the fediverse, also you click where it says new to view posts based on either date of post or popularity of post, lemmy is cool in that way, much easier to find old posts than gab, twitter or scored (not sure if that answered your question)
