The ones who would aren’t going to leave. Most the republicans i know(mostly family) haven’t left the state in 20 years. And are deathly afraid of any other country in the world. It’s menacing. They believe the US is the best country on earth. Because they have experienced nothing outside of it except what American TV news is telling them.
I reached out to the NYC mesh folks and they are going to walk me through it. It seems like a lot of work. But the more people who can get to help. The stronger it becomes.
I’ll be participating today as well. But I’m Curia what others think, as someone whose been a part of a dozen of these protests over the years, I don’t know if anything positive has actually come from them? The enemy is the billionaire class whose ruining everyone’s lives through greed. But I don’t think they actually care if people are in the streets since it doesn’t affect them at all.
I feel like taking these protests to their personal homes would be much more effective no?
I think what would help in this would be more options for apps (which there are thankfully) but also an easy to read guide on how this all works and how to sign up and get on board. It’s complexity vague in this effort. Which does weed out the certain kind of people who aren’t tech savvy. But it would help its numbers quite a bit.
I was on reddit since around 2010. Had probably 500k karma in total? I was around before the apps. Still in the air of early internet vibes. It was a great place to find your community and chat.
I got my first ever temp ban a month ago for saying Luigi started a movement that our world needs. For billionaires need to be afraid of every day people.
Got a ban on r/news. Then shortly after a full ban.
I’ve been banned from plenty of right wing subs and it’s never been an issue. But one comment into their top corporate subreddit did it. So I left. Fuck em. There is no free speech there and to be honest. The quality of comments and community has dropped so heavily since 2016 that it doesn’t feel like a loss to me. Reddit community used to have standards and free speech for anyone. Now it’s no different from Facebook. Shitty joke comments on serious topics. Bots everywhere. It’s just a black hole now.
Funny enough. I just joined like 10 minutes ago. As someone whose been on reddit since 2008! I’ve finally had enough when my 15 year old account started getting permabanned just for understanding why people like Luigi exist. And getting banned all over because of one comment. Then I saw another post this morning talking about alternatives to reddit and how someone else started getting banned for just about the same reasons. Then I and came across this platform. And it seems very promising at first glance. I’m m very hopeful it can make its way. Reminds me of the older days of early Internet.
