  • I used to love Reddit and it was my only social media site for a decade. But it became so Kafka-esque that it was causing me a tremendous amount of stress. Constantly fighting mod bans was akin to tilting at windmills, as it was completely pointless. So I quit cold turkey last year, deleting my account, and found Lemmy a few days later. I still find the content on Reddit incredibly helpful when I’m searching for information and posts come up on Google but I cannot interact with the site/app any longer. The constant deletions and bans are contrary to the original spirit of the site and have reached SNL sketch level.



  • I am personally not against the death penalty for some crimes if the culprit is indeed responsible but there are too many people in prison for crimes they didn’t commit already, so the burden of proof needs to be exceptional. Also, I’ve heard before that it’s actually more costly for states and tax payers to impose the death penalty because of all the built-in appeals, with the costs of the court system and attorney fees, than it is to house someone in prison for life. I further think that those convicted should have the option to choose the death penalty and type of execution for themselves, á la Gary Gilmore.

    From my perspective, it’s taking a slur people like Kirk embrace and throws it back at them by labeling their alleged all-consuming love of Jesus as homosexual. It’s a bit reductio ad absurdum - they label us sinners but they’re the ones with a hard-on for Christ. I’m gay and I created the meme, btw. But I also enjoy really extreme, offensive humor (I’m just saying. Not trying to be confrontational)
