When they added all those default filters to bluesky for things like violence and hate speech and didn’t add one for politics, I deleted my account. I’m so so so very tired of it. I’m also 100% sick of slacktivists thinking posting their politics on social media does anything other than make other people post their politics on social media.
It’s the most cultivated fruit in the world. “Is your method superior??” Get outta here. If you’re bored and want to see people argue, try reddit.
But we live in a society.
I can’t even remember the title of this post.
I know I am. Spooky, huh?
That “who, me?” shit is just cowardice. I haven’t presented any arguments because you haven’t expressed anything to argue against. You posted a dogwhistle and got called out. Go find your tribe.
I think people use that word to mean immature. Childish implies that a behavior is age-inappropriate, but also implies that the behavior would be appropriate for a child, which is often not true. Immature is a better word to use when someone is doing behaviors that indicate their brain development hasn’t caught up with their life situation.
No, you’re here to spread hate.
Go look up the definition for dogwhistle. That word you used is a dogwhistle indicative of an extreme religious right wing ideology. That’s why you won’t explain it - you can’t. You don’t know why you’re afraid, you just are. That’s indoctrination. Everyone here understands what you mean, you’re just terrified of explaining it.
Don’t dance around it like a coward. Say what you mean. I’m an adult, you’re an adult. You came here to express yourself, don’t get shy now.
What is transgenderism? I googled it and the top result for that word is a link to a religious website.
“Since you didn’t bother to write it, I didn’t bother to read it.”
Same experience here, and when I traveled as an immigrant, everyone was always very cordial and welcoming to me (which is more than I can say for the immigrant experience in America). I was in Brazil during Bolsonaro and found many lefties who appreciated the acknowledgement that they were still there working hard despite their country’s leadership (one of them got murdered by his father over politics). I was in Chile during the student riots under Pinera too and was welcomed by the leftists in the street throwing bottle bombs and the cops in riot gear with water cannons. The average person everywhere is involved in a continuous global struggle for human rights, education, economic equity, etc, and they recognize your empathy no matter what flavor of billionaire is currently running the country.
Tô the good, a lot of governments are pushing through regulations on AI usage and development, clean energy developments including wave energy will come to fruition, and economic shifts in what countries do business with each other could mean more development in Africa and South America.
To the bad, food insecurity will become a more exigent problem as basic needs get more expensive, global armed conflicts are escalating, and more folks will be injured through lack of regulation.
Any local who can’t separate you from the corrupt billionaires who run your country isn’t worth your time no matter where you are. Anyone who would lie to another person about where they’re from because they can’t separate themselves from the corrupt billionaires who run their country isn’t worth my time no matter where you’re from.
They would see cities designed for pedestrian and bicycle traffic. My city here in America is proud of the hundreds of miles of bike lanes but all they did was paint a bike stencil on the shoulder of the road and put up a sign telling cyclists to stay to the right.
I understand that user moderation is an accepted practice nowadays, but people end up on those blocklists for invalid reasons and I’d prefer a default filter like there is for hate speech.
