this was a good place to be. dang.

The thing I liked the most about Lemm.ee was that there was a general policy against defederating. It let me drink directly from the whole lemmy firehose if I wanted. If I wanted to block individual communities or users, that was within my personal power and nobody decided to step in my way and decide for me.

It looks like you’ve defederated from 4 instances so far, so… that’s pretty good. threads dot net by user vote, and three others for being virulent hives of pedo shit.

… you know what. i think i might be cool with this. I’ll watch for a bit.

seize it via eminent domain.

Would be fuckin hilarious if the dog got up after the grim reaper leaves being all like “nah I was just playin :3”

Any good tool can be a weapon in a pinch!

Geologists get it.

Yes, it’s a shame fascists are so hell bent on doing that to us. But perhaps if they experience consequences, they may elect to do literally anything else with their life than harass queer people.

But I know I’m being too optimistic.

Some fascists would rather die than be better human beings… So it is only generous to oblige them.

It’s nice not being so full of shit, right?

He didn’t even say thank you to Mister Zelenskyy, not even once!

… It’s weird how most of me was resigned to believing this was never going to happen, and then all of a sudden even more of me is like “FINALLY!”

Be gay do crimes :3

looks perfect!

and i am never showing up on your feed again. BLLLLLOCKED :D

Japan…

i just really freaking love public transportation infrastructure

i want to ride ALL THE TRAINS

It’s only a matter of time for me…

Then again, the account I left behind says “user has deleted” instead of “user was banned” so…

false dichotomy.

art belongs in the public domain.

no billionaire has the right to exist.

whether one wishes to call it “currency” or not, there will always be some form of communication between the systems that decide what is produced, how it’s produced, and for whom.

Although part of the problem with currency in the liberal capitalist paradigm is that the household sector has a deliberately suppressed voice in that decision making process.

In capitalism, the private corporations and government bureaus just eat each other’s excrement and try as hard as possible to ignore the household sector (the citizen population).

The ability to communicate demand is the entire purpose of even HAVING some store of value/means of exchange/unit of account.

Automating this such that nobody would even have to do any personal tabulation, though, would indeed be ideal. Such as the lovely Fully Automated Gay Space Communism of Star Trek! Everybody’s basic needs are met and even most of their reasonable wants. Even then, not everybody can just requisition a whole-ass starship for their own personal use, though. There are inevitably SOME limiting factors on what someone can acquire.

Everyone taking her side like “ohhh won’t someone pleeeeease have sympathy for this blood-sucking billionaire?!?!?!” in here make me SICK.

FUCK OFF

You are correct and so is Marte.

fuck me dead, these people really are tweaking all my alarms. red flags as far as the eye can see. they sound exactly like born again southern baptists asking an atheist “why do you hate god” >_>;

The Centauri: “You call this a convention center? I would not host my second cousin’s baby shower here; it stinks of commoners.”

(which is to say, i watched it two decades ago)
