PTB: I wish i could say this type of response was a surprise, but it’s what I’ve come to expect from .world.

A perm instance ban is just way over the top too. Unless someone is routinely spamming, a temp ban/comment removal is all that’s needed.

A dude wore these to a club I was at. Not easy to notice unless you’re looking for them. He was creeping on people showing skin and was a known stalker for one of the dancers in particular.

Fortunately he got kicked out unceremoniously.

asshole perverts will always find ways to ruin things for everyone else, but these glasses just make it way too easy.

It’s one button click, plus it’s funny to see when gross reactionaries are crying about getting a slap on the wrist

that ban also expired almost a year ago

the feeling is mutual, I was just pointing out that the trash was taken out

I can just read your modlog

.ml account is one way, means I can access spaces that arent polluted with toxic libs and reactionaries, but still be widely federated

Racist lib gets banned for being obnoxious and gross, shocking

It was a 1 day ban too, the horror

You have no loyalty to ‘Israel’ yet you spend all this energy denying their genocide and doing hasbara on their behalf.

comparing occupied Palestinians to Nazi Germany is absolutely vile. They’re not a military power threatening ‘Israel’, they’re a captive population being exterminated.

It’s been an obvious genocidal apartheid state since the Nakba in 1948.

Democrats didn’t ‘change their stance’, they armed the entity through election day and lost defending it. You’re still making excuses. That’s the team loyalty I called you out for.

the person saying I have blind hatred:

no one has ever used that term for similar actions in the past.

They have, it’s been a genocide. The whole point of the genocide convention was to stop them while they’re happening, not to preserve the term for historical labeling and partisan bickering. The person cynically wielding and demeaning the term is you, because you only recognize genocide when it’s not ‘your guy’ doing it.

People like you disgust me. So invested in team loyalty you will minimize a genocide to avoid admitting your own parties participation. Just because I criticize democrats for their complicity doesn’t mean I am happy Trump won.

They were still doing a genocide under joe biden. She did nothing to distance herself from the admin and the only people to blame for her loss are herself and her enablers.

Don’t trust him at all, absolutely still CIA.

TBH I was more using that facetiously because it’s what our media tends to call any regime successors in enemy countries, regardless of the accuracy

The enraged downvotes are all the engagement I ask for 🥰

Okay, but that’s a very disingenuous framing of most the people we’re talking about. Especially on the fediverse. I 100% believe that someone somewhere made such claims but that wasn’t the common sentiment. No one was largely telling anyone not to criticize Harris and the Democrats for their stances. Far from. They earned all that and more.

I am not interested in getting to shitflinging because we agree on most other things, however this itself is kind of disingenuous framing of what I just said; I said:

I find the people complaining about ‘both sides’ rhetoric and blaming nonvoters incredibly off-putting because they’re absolving a hostile party of its obvious negligence and preventing any lessons from being learned in the name of smug self-satisfaction.

I didn’t say that they were saying not to criticize the democrats even, I just said that fixating on blaming voters is serving the end of whitewashing the failures of the democrats and contributing to an atmosphere where they learn nothing.

I don’t blame or begrudge people for feeling betrayed by Harris and the Democrats.

They have been betraying us, it’s more than a feeling. The democrats as a party are not invested in winning and have no principles they run on other than being ‘not trump’ while still being fully on board with war, empire, harsh border controls, and corporate monopolies.

They’re more interested in scolding voters than reflecting on how the parties own actions led to them losing to a game show host, twice now.

He didn’t drop out until they had effectively prevented any internal challengers by waiting until the primary was over the make the switch to his hand-picked successor.

If they had had an actual primary and not just ignored all the people protest voting ‘uncommitted’ in the joke one that they did have they wouldn’t have botched it as bad as they did. That’s on democratic leadership, not the voters.
