He paid for a server upgrade, he’s gonna get his money’s worth.

No, a third voted for Trump. Another third sat at home and didn’t express their one voice to make a change at all.

Putting our mouths where their money is? No, I don’t like that after all…

That would be fine with me if they had no effect on me and lived in a vacuum. Which I propose we put them in. The vacuum of space or a vacuum tube at the bottom of the ocean, either works for me.

They also love ruining things so their mindless voters vote to defund it.

I’m guessing you have no idea that the mods of world and shitjustwork talked with the mods at behaw, and they all agreed it was the right thing to do at the time. You obviously don’t know the situation, or understand that the fediverse is not supposed to work like a centralized platform.

If you don’t want to color with your opinion, use a different word than shadowban. They didn’t do this with malice as the connotations of that word would imply.

Eh, that’s true of most plants. If you want it really successful, you gotta put in the work. Honestly though, just start growing and see how it goes. If it’s legal, you have very little to lose but time and whatever fertilizer you used. Goes bad, start again…

Kbin also has a user karma system, which I want nothing to do with. I feel it’s a system that was abused on reddit and didn’t make anything better.

Yeah, most people posing as children online make jailtime, not bank.

The two most common posts right now are complaints about reddit, and complaints about complaining about reddit. Be the change you want to see…

This is said as if they wouldn’t ban the left otherwise, or are not already banning being trans or books right now.

While I think it would be more than a few minutes, this would still limit people’s time on Twitter. I can’t imagine advertisers are super happy about that idea.

That’s some good stuff. Highly recommend clicking through and watching the video.

Better find one that makes money or we will drag our feet doing it I presume.

Sometimes it’s a circle, sometimes it’s a Mickey Mouse hat on Ron DeSantis’ head.

This just is, foxes will protect your chickens if you leave the gates open says business man I. R. Fox.

So it’s only a concern for Americans then?

I feel what we’re seeing is a lack of OC from actual humans, that is being filled in by your standard karma farming bot. Doubt we’re at the AI filled posts time yet. Thinking those will be less obvious, and show up over the next couple months. So glad I’m part of a site without user karma. It means reposts are likely from passionate users rather than bots.

This is true, nothing is exactly equivalent, bad choice of words. It’s not remotely equivalent either though. An equivalent scenario would be if immigrants showed up to the border, and were turned away, but also had a 1000 other places the could go within a few feet. And it applies to everyone making demands of server owners. Make an appeal for your wants. If they ignore it, find a server that fits better.
