Part of the grift is passing a bunch of money around at the top.

The ‘people in charge’ don’t even want us poors to know it’s possible to host things without the cloud, let alone how much easier and cheaper it is.

If you think they are the same, then I can’t help you.

Good job fitting in with everyone else. Mission accomplished.

What do we do about the guns already there?

Are you seriously trying to argue that if it wasn’t for the US supplying them, then the cartels wouldn’t have firearms? Please answer yes or no so anyone with a brain knows how seriously you should be taken.

Well, you’d be wrong about that.

The cartels are harming Mexico, and we should be helping to protect innocent Mexicans because that’s the decent thing to do.

You guys are clearly too far gone and are just trying to fit in with each other. It’s pretty disgusting and sad, but I’m glad I’ve learned not to take you people seriously on anything.

And everyone on lemmy thinks the US shouldn’t intervene to stop the cartels.

Lol.

No, not just like Iraq.

Myanmar has been going through civil wars ever since its inception.

I doubt the people fighting in them now have any idea what they’re fighting for beyond escalating previous escalations.

I’m going to hate the state of Israel for the rest of my life.

I can tell none of you have an answer.

Reddit-rhetoric.

That’s fine.

It’s clear that you don’t want such instances to exist, so you’re trying to convince others not to want them as well.

You can just go on about your business and if those instances ever pop up, you can just ignore them.

It’s there when you try to make an account.

It’s fine for you to think that.

It looks like you’re happy with how things are going, so it’s not really a concern for you.

Checking their TOC, it looks like they don’t really value freedom of speech.

They would probably not be acceptable by people who approve of the current state of lemmy moderation, and that’s okay.

There already has been.

Really? Can you give some examples?

The modlogs should give some insight into how much demand there is for instances that won’t censor people.

The fediverse as a whole is still tiny, so it may seem that getting defederated from the established instances is a death knell, but it isn’t.

I know. People are afraid to make them out of fear of defederation.

Eventually, we’re going to have to accept that there will be different parts of the fediverse for different people. And that’s okay.

The useful idiots are already gearing up to run him in 2028.

We’re fucked.

I agree. At some point we’re going to have to see a split between the heavily censored instances and the ones that let people say what they want.
