Downloading books needs to be the norm for education.

It’s disgusting how we create this culture where those who have wealth get priority access to knowledge that will help them further their wealth.

Publishing shouldn’t even be an industry in 2025.

Or 2024… 2023… etc etc.

Man this generation sucks.

The disparity in wealth should shrink instead of grow.

Sharing software is a tool to achieve that end.

I disagree. The government doesn’t need to step in and dictate how lemmy moderators moderate.

We just need to build and support communities that don’t abuse mod powers over those that do.

I hope Houthi youth grows up to wage asymmetric war against the West as punishment for these crimes.

Nobody else will punish the West for what it does.

Sigh, more censorship.

We need more lemmy communities that don’t do this.

Kamala would have done the same thing.

Democrats have never shown a willingness to challenge Israel on anything.

The “absolute fucking morons” are the ones who thought kamala would be any different.

Maybe Bernie would’ve done something different, but neo-liberals don’t like him.

Oh, you said you could either “deal with the limitations or go home.” Does “dealing with them” involve mentioning how things can improve?

Does anyone know of lemmy instances without as much censorship?

I’d like to decide for myself what I get to see. There’s a block button for that reason.

It’s no coincidence that Tom Sawyer is satire about the ignorance of Southern Whites.

Wow, mods are really going to censor this guy for saying “Oy Vey”?

What group of people do you think would shout the loudest and pull the most strings to make sure it’s still legal and encouraged to mutilate the penises of newborn males?

Jesus fuck, even on lemmy we can’t criticize them.

Pretty sure in Egypt they still cut off the clitorises of preteen girls as tradition.

Why do parents keep choosing to cut up the genitals of their baby boys?

Is it because the dad had his penis cut up for him, and therefore he must do it to his son because “nothing is wrong with his dick”?

Yeah, you’re not allowed to advocate for improvements in any way unless you’re a natural born citizen to whatever country you’re in.

I don’t agree with what this commenter said, but his post should not have been censored.

I hate defeatists like you and the impact you have on the world.

I wish you people would get off of your hands and do something instead of just telling other people to sit on theirs.

Blocked.

Making it illegal just causes more problems.

That’s fine. “Defederation” will have less meaning as time goes on and there are different sections of the fediverse that support different ideals.

The more people that are afraid of “defederation” and adjust their behavior as a result, the more power it has.

No alternate opinions are allowed apparently…

Yeah, mods will just ban us if we get reported enough. It doesn’t matter if the reports or accurate or if we’re actually breaking any rules.

They don’t realize it, but that kind of behavior has a long term effect on the health and perception of the community.

I’m looking forward to the sections of the fediverse that don’t abuse their mod power. Right now we don’t really have any since most of the mods are immature.

Lemmy is definitely turning into an echo-chamber among the bigger instances.

It’s okay, though. Once enough people get censored, it opens up the opportunity for people to start instances that don’t abuse their mod power.
