I just want to say a few words because I got banned from my local NextDoor app and Reddit 2x because I get so sick of seeing so many pro-ICE class traitors cheering on the abuse thats occuring in our neighborhoods and communities in the Unites States! These same people claim to be patriots as you realize they are the same people that would have snitched on Ann Frank ffs!
The rich people that own these platforms are creating their own fake realities to feel better about themselves using banning features and bot accounts but eventually it will catch up with them. It used to be normal and standard to not be okay with dictatorships and Nazi behavior. Millennials learned about WW2 in schools ffs! We KNOW Hitler is bad!
Its so insanely UN-AMERICAN to cheer on ICE as they LARP around as fake police officers, that are somehow allowed to murder and abduct innocent civilians?! Legally VIA the Federal Government? I stand by every single thing I said in my post and these people have had EVERY SINGLE opportunity to wake up. They choose to either be ignorant or just a crappy human being. Part of living in a society means community and contributing to your neighborhood somehow but instead they choose to side with the budget clown mafia that is our government and the disgusting oligarchs that are sucking all of the US citizens dry, INCLUDING THOSE CHEERING THEM ON! Its absurd and I am so sick of being censored, constantly. I am thankful for the Fediverse… But I wish more people knew about it! Its still very niche… When this time in history is over can we as a society prioritize educating the public on privacy, mesh networks and other peer to peer networking options? This can never happen again.
P.S. I am not angry that I was banned specifically. Its because these same people complained about FrEe SpeEcH and its so evident they only ever used it to be a disgusting racist, sexist ect… hateful human being. Not because they believe in freedom.
I was on ND for about a week, some 8 years ago. Absolute dog shit hellsite that somehow makes FB look reasonable by comparison. Ended up shit-canning it because I’d rather not have to know that I’m surrounded by shitcunts.
ND is just FB all over again, but by neighborhood rather than friend group. Fake names, rants, and e-begging. You could get a better experience with any other website.
Sounds like me and you are living parallel life’s, I’ve been banned from Reddit and other platforms as well all for doing exactly as you said- standing up to fascist and Nazis- it’s clear they want to keep us in our place while they break us down. Reddit has become really bad since the election, it’s heartbreaking but I refuse to go quietly
Same! I had a 12 year old account that never had so much as a strike and then I started to go viral and made it into the top 1% club on there or whatever and then they banned me for no reason at all. Then, my partner let me use his old account because he wasnt using it and it was also around 12 years old (I had a new phone and VPN). Same happened! I went viral speaking truth, they got scared BAM banned… no appeal allowed. Permanent ban on both! Nothing I shared was against the rules. It was just anti violence and anti fascist.
Oh, and r/economiccollapse is where it started, after Elon threw a fit and the site cracked down thats the page I was going viral on all the time and they switched mods at the same time Elon bitched… and then I got banned. Coincide? Idk, but it pisses me off. They dont want to hear about billionaires stealing from the working class and they dont want to hear about how toxic this entire regime is when it was completely NORMAL to shit talk Naiz and billionaires not even what, 10 years ago?!
Eventually this fake reality will catch up with them. Humans are intelligent and find ways around systems. Faking your entire reality while yelling about free speech isnt going to work for very long.
These people are this generations version of those you see in the history books, standing around, smiling, at their town’s lynching.
Absolutely. Its absurd.
Politics on Nextdoor? Yeah, that’s cringe. It’s for lost dogs and shit, dude
Even if you say “hating ICE isn’t politics,” making blanket statements about hating all your neighbors isn’t what Nextdoor is for
Why do people come to Lemmy to complain about other platforms?
It’s like complaining about Big Macs at Five Guys. Nextdoor and Reddit sucks, that’s why we’re not hanging out there in the first place.
There are lots if people new to Lemmy and not everyone is aware of what really happens on the large platforms. Maintaining awareness is a good thing I think. Especially for new users it can affirm a choice to leave those platforms.
