Reddit is a community of millions, and I can no longer talk there because they do not like my politics. It is not illegal to do this, I agree entirely. This is not a violation of the constitution. I am not even an American.

But it is a violation of my ability to speak freely, inflicted by a billionaire because he is politically allied with Israel.

The places we treat like public agoras in the modern day are controlled by private citizens, based entirely on their wealth. Zuck, spez, Ellison, Musk, and a few more; these handful of white men control who is allowed to interact in the defacto public arenas of the internet.

Sure, I can come here, and this is exactly why Lemmy and all the other forums of the Fediverse were made. I hope this gets big.

But right now, what opinions and ideas the vast majority of people are exposed to are quietly being limited, so quietly they mostly don’t know.

Is that good? Should I shrug and say “Oh well, it’s a billionaire, not the government, so it’s okay that they have all this power.”?

Shoulda stayed in the Mozart Life House. Rookie mistake.

Hmmmm. It is sort of a devilish waiting room. Valid.

No! They’re places you pass through to get somewhere else! Places between! BETWEEEEN

Sorry for shouting.

Why is everyone always against the small businessman? I even gave a free sample!

He also wants a magical pony.

Wrong meme template, but the story hits right in the emotions. I once met a kid on an Outward Bound boat trip. We spent the entire time talking about fantasy novels, and did not really interact with anyone else. Trip lasted a week. We were 12. Never saw him again.

And boy goddamn do veges taste good roasted, if they do it right. You don’t even need animal fats to make potatoes the king of foods.

Zuckface?

No, that’s for robots.

Clanker eyes?

Watch it without spoilers right now, the one with Bowie

More like brainuppercut. Goddamn. Thankyou.

Look, we might not like it, but we gotta get down on Friday; that’s the law.

Anyone who’s been chucked off Reddit knows we’re already there.

It’s the love, not the quantity. Although Ireland still has it beaten imo.

Kinda like Shadowrun.

Induction cooktop, definitely want one at some point. I’ve seen what a proper one can do and now I’m finally okay with switching over from the beloved gas burner I’ve always thought was king.

Know why it’s annoying to clean? Because you left the dirt on it for a while, and successive heat events from your regular cooking baked it into the surface.

Source: I do this, and when my partner or my mother cook, they easily wipe the surface off every time with a wet rag. I wait ages, and have to clean it with a scrubber and Jif.

Getting ever closer to smart dust.

Still not good for lounging in. But very entertaining, and full of civic responsibility, so I like it.

“I thought I was horny once, but that was just when Rush Limbaugh died.”

Immortal words, my friend. I commend their beauty.
