I like this perspective. I hadn’t thought of it this way and until I read this, I sort of felt the same was as them. That times have changed. And where the powers-that-be used to take all things into consideration, we no longer have that luxury or right to be heard- or taken seriously.

Knowing that it’s not expected to move the needle, but to create a collective unification of voices, and to see and be seen….

…definitely lends to its true purpose.

Thanks for sharing this perspective.

Such as?

They don’t want proof that what’s going to be happening soon, was ever mortally objectionable.

The next what girl?

I think you know exactly how empirically provable facts work. And I also think you’re a troll.

Yeah. 0 points. I either aced it, or I colossally failed it depending on perspective.

But they’re saying they do know. And they are correct.

I do know. It’s not sentient at all. But don’t get angry at me about this. You can put that all on science.

You know “Grok” is not a sentient being, right? Please tell us you understand this simple fact- because you just defended a computer program as deserving rhetoric same freedoms as a human being.

I can say from experience that in at least some corners of social media, (LW for example) the removal of “Luigi content” is strictly because a large amount of it is advocations of violence/murder/assasinaion.

On many social media platforms, that type of content is against ToS because of the laws in the country that hosts the platform that the site is located in.

It has little to do with personal opinion and everything to do with staying within the legal threshold of the region to avoid being shut down.

I’m not sure I’d ever put TS in the same sentence with that Nazi gremlin.

Yep. It does.

You won’t find a lot of moderation in a shitpost community. Because of Its “anything goes” nature, trolls are able to take advantage of it.

And as I like to say, we used to prescribe cigarettes for asthma. The times will change.

Ironically, this response breaks LW instance rules.

I did the same to VoteBlue for spamming the shit out of me every day since before the election.

Disliking what someone think doesn’t mean we care about what they think.

People really need to accept the nuance in a thing. Because included in this is the notion that one can “care” about something or someone they dislike.

For example:

I care about what Trump thinks about immigration. I care about what he thinks about the rights and freedom of our LGBTQ+ friends and family. I care about what he thinks about other nations and the diplomacy needed to maintain a relationship with each and every one of them. I care about what he thinks about our healthcare system.

I don’t, however- care about him.

This is how nuance works. Everything isn’t simplified down to this, or else that. Black, or else white. Up, or else down. That each of these things to exist, one accepts that there is also a spectrum associated with it that allows for a gradation of perspective that has potential to lean in either direction.

EDIT: I hope this didn’t come off as condescending. I didn’t intend it to sound that way. I’m actually only trying to offer a different perspective.

People can dislike both, you know this… right?
