It would be funny if he started a Mastodon instance with whatever his values are. The reason he would never do that is because it's not for profit.

You're correct. It doesn't stop Nazis from having a home or building a following. It just allows users to not see it.

Uh... source? This runs counter to everything I've seen and read about it.

No... NO. It was appallingly terrible at banning Nazis, worse than even Reddit in many ways. Twitter banned a tiny, tiny fraction of extremely prominent and openly fascist accounts that had been permitted to operate for years, but they ignored Nazi dogwhistles from large accounts and smaller accounts that didn't gain a following and were used to harass 1-2 people were generally allowed to operate freely.

Remember: they didn't even ban Donald Trump himself until he tried to literally violently overthrow the US government. Twitter pre-Musk was an absolute shit hole, but it was at least headed in a hopeful direction. Musk kept it a shit hole and just changed the direction it was going.

Thank you for the explanation. I essentially agree with your position, but also fear most of the people upvoting this meme aren't appreciating a distinction between choosing "no ethical action" and "inaction". Things inside the US are slowly, but unquestionably moving in a better direction today than they have been the past century. It's upsetting when people who claim to care for their fellow citizens advocate for surrendering the already extremely limited power they posses to turn the steering wheel.

But the sonic meme says voting is unethical

The way to tell MAGA propagandists from real lefitst activists is that propaganda will ignore primaries and local elections. General elections in America are for forming coalitions, not rejecting them.

Anyone making memes telling you not to form a coalition against MAGA is working to further the goals of MAGA.

I know your intentions are good but if my kid stumbled across gore or animal abuse they're going to require a level of "talking to" that is waaay beyond my skill level, and a content blocker is a lot cheaper than a child psychologist.

I know what these words mean:

These are the words I need to learn more about:

NAS pi firing docker yaml

Bitwarden. I would like to self host it one day (and keep that backed up) once I learn more about all that junk

You are a Trump supporter pretending to be a leftist on the internet.

I am not a right wing troll. You are a right-wing troll pretending to be a leftist.

Reply with "Deep!" if I'm correct about you being a Trump supporter.

You are not an antifascist. You want Trump to be elected.

You are a Trump supporter pretending to be a leftist on the internet.

You are only pretending to be left wing. You want Trump elected.

The comments here prove it's no strawman.

"leftists" like to pretend the primaries don't exist and then they are all "wah wah how did we get here?"

Correct. It means not getting fascists elected.

Anyone who helps Trump get elected is pro-MAGA.
