Honestly the whole reddit protest was really good for me. I stopped spending so much time online, I only open lemmy occasionally too. Overall goodness for the planet

I actually don’t think it looks TOO bad. But in not sure what it means.

While writing this I figured out its an ‘a’ @ symbol. Instead of following the one line, it uses the a with an overhang

Been playing Hero’s Hour recently from the itch summer bundle. Never played any Civilization style games before but this one is really fun.

Sorry to be a party pooper but it might be on the inside of the phone

Crazy that instances wanna defederate from a whole other instance because there’s a community for another political party. Let people who challenge your ideas exist, jesus

Definitely captcha. Email anonymity is nice, and I don’t want to sign up with my email to everything.

If there is going to be a captcha tho, use hCaptcha or one of the cloudflare ones. Google captcha is just free labor for developing AI and I don’t think anyone wants to keep contributing to that.

This is cursed design

I’ve found Top Day works best for “active”

“Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation and race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.”

Don’t try to misinterpret what I said. Censorship of opposing views is attacking someone’s right to free speech. Once again, you are correct, you don’t have to listen, but they have every right to say. I’m sorry that you truly believe that people that don’t like you should be censored. I don’t like them either, but censorship is a violation of their rights.

“But this isn’t a government entity!” No, its not, but that doesn’t mean I can’t argue for the right to free speech on here.

“Letting them have a platform will spread hate.” The right to hate is part of free speech. Just as you may hate, from what I can tell, republicans/people on the right, they can hate anyone else too. “Speech can be ugly, disgusting, hateful, prejudice, and alarming, but it can never be dangerous to a free society as long as men and women of good will have the freedom of speech to dispute it, challenge it, and reject it.”

As my final comment, because this comment chain has gone on for too long… the instance isn’t far-right or disgusting. All of the arguing of “They’re equal to nazi’s!” is an equivocation that resulted in an unrelated argument. They don’t have “hate speech”, just speech you hate. Anyway, I suggest that BOTH of us stop arguing on here. As good of a point as either one of us may have, I think its clear we’re cemented in our morals and are wasting our time. I encourage you to fight for what you believe in, and have a nice day.

If you don’t like tacos, you don’t like me, and i will not allow it. Defederate immediately.

Please explain to me what I misinterpreted so I can understand better. And yes, I will defend the rights of all who want to express their viewpoints.

You are correct. People having free ideas is never going to work if you want everyone to have the same ideas. That’s called fascism.

If being bigoted is wrong, it doesn’t take a genius to prove that, no?

I can disagree with everything they stand for, and think they are absolutely stupid, but god damn do they have a right to be. The mentality stemmed from twitter of “They are just so wrong I wont even listen or let them talk” is so ignorant and authoritarian. What if north korea censored people for saying anything negative about their government? That would be wrong to us, but to them it is based in logic.

The internet has become so used to banning expression, it baffles me. It used to be commonly agreed apon that every individual has a right to thought, and if they’re stupid it should be easy to prove them so. Nowadays everyone is censoring everyone they dont like. Some people on the right wanting to stop LGBT content, someone in this thread wanting to censor the Matt Walsh documentary. I’ve watched it to hear his opinion, despite how much I may disagree with him. And it brought up some good points. If the documentary is so wrong, we should put it out there to show and publicly shame, no? Censorship is the weakest form of countering, no one is the moral authority they may think they are.

Sorry to make this so long but I am tired of people being willingly ignorant because they don’t like what someone said. Have a nice day, stranger I disagree with.

No, don’t defederate. Just because an instance doesn’t align politically with your views doesn’t mean that they have to be gone. And we should definetly avoid a mastodon blocklist situation.

If you refuse to meet someone on level ground because you consider them intolerant of your own ideas, you’re the one being intolerant.
