Yeah exactly, what good is a more powerful legislative if it spends its entire existence not doing anything

I agree but at the same time the US congress has been incapable of doing anything to the point where the only feasible way of change is through the US president. Point and case, look at the naked orange baby.

Yeah he just deleted my comment lol. Well I guess that’s that, time to pack up and move out

The instance name is cringe and dumb. I’ll give you that 😭

Yeah the conservative community is a trainwreck. Thats every conservative community though not just the one on hc. I blocked it when they first announced it lmao because I knew exactly what it would turn into. Probably why I haven’t seen any of the right wing extremism stuff people keep talking about lol

Thanks I did just that and was able to see it :)

I mean that entire thread is a dumpster fire but I see what you mean

Yeah trolling is a whatever issue for me, I’m not bothered by it. I haven’t seen any right wing extremism stuff. I am blatantly leftist and haven’t been kicked out of hc. I think tolerance of leftism sorta disqualifies it from being extremist lmao. I didn’t realise so many instances de-federated from hc. When I had my account deleted from lemm.ee with no warning for expressing my disapproval of moderators I joined hc. I’d had fun interactions with Alice before and the instance description stated they had a free speech policy (paraphrasing) so I joined up. There’s a few things I dislike such as downvotes not being visible but when I brought that up the whole community actually had a discussion about it which I’d never experienced before and made me feel like I was actually part of a community. I’ll think about trying out another instance to see if being de-federated from really bothers me. Ideally I want to be able to talk with as many people as possible.

I think that link is dead?

What’s exploding heads?

Or you could visit said communities and make up your own mind.

Thank god

I just want people to be called by their preferred names and pronouns

They’re worried about you. If you’ve been unemployed for 6 months while actively trying not to be then yeah, that worry is probably warranted.

Saying words like that on some platforms makes the algorithm that distribute content distribute it less. People will also talk about the censor in the comments creating more engagement and so the algorithm will promote further. It has absolutely nothing to do with being kind and respectful to people who might be triggered and is infact exploiting their negative reaction to generate fake internet points

My crackpot theory anyway

I never would’ve guessed 🙄

WHAT!!!??

TEENAGERS??

ONLINE???

Brooo I had no idea… how could this happen? I never would’ve guessed there could be teenagers despite at one point being one and using the internet. I get you’re probably pretty new to being online but like come on, the rest of the world doesn’t discover things at the rate you do…

Are you really surprised about being banned after admitting to breaking the rules and then expressing intent to circumvent a ban?

Something something if it smells like shit wherever you go something something
