modem noises

I used to call support to see if the internet service was down when I couldn't connect, now I browse to a status page to see if the phone service is down, and I work in tech support.

sad old man noises

right? I read this and my first thought was bwas "only 20?!"

Us rare ones pay a price for it too. Just about my whole family is hard right republican and religious idiots. Life with them has not been great.

I managed to get part of the article via wayback machine, but it cuts off

they don't accept sources outside their local news and social circle where they accept everything as truthful and any outsider is automatically untrustworthy. I've run into someone utterly convinced that their local schools were forcing kids to become trans against thier will, because they heard it repeated by thier idiot republican social circle. No evidense required. Instead in thier mind burden of proof is on me for saying that's ridiculous.

Even when they don't wholeheartedly believe the lies they've been goven they will pretend to for fear of their social circle response.

You get what you deserve! #jokerwasright

I do this, but every comment I make gets removed by either a subs automod or a reddit admin.

I got banned from half the subs on reddit for trying to explain the scunthorpe problem on programming related sub, because all that is what happens when everyone uses the same automod that has the exact problem I was trying to explain and they also ban you from subs you've never even been to because they share a naughtylist of ppl who use the c word.

for anyone that's never heard of it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_problem

reddit admins and mods are just using idiotic automation to shoot first and ask questions never

and also to help the billionaires not have to look at things they don't like so elongated muskrats don't get thier feewings hurt

gotcha, that's my hope as well.

unfortunately I'm not up for growing a new community myself right now, tbh I'm not doing a great job at attracting members to the one I did start so I don't think I should try and handle 2 already. I'm bad at social things in general but I try.

they ban for upvoting "eat the rich" too.

yet reddit admins never had a problem with thedonalds posters litteraly saying people should be shot and other violent rhetoric for years. the key difference is this time the billionaire class got upset.

I need a lemmy based replacement for MarchAgainstNazis since that mod team has been seriously compromised.

Can't sound like you criticize reddit itself or admin actions in any way, benign things being silently removed/hidden. can't say anything against actual nazi's now.
