but I don’t like news. It’s stressful, annoying, confusing, etc.

So you don’t like news, and that made you decide to tell people to block me?! Ok… Um, what about the other people who post a lot more news than me? Most of the news I post is pro-socialist news. You can just admit you don’t like socialism. But to tell people to block me because of it, is hilarious.

So now I have advice for newcomers: Guys, ya’ll should block Camille_Jamal. He doesn’t like news about socialism.

See how that works?

to be clear: block universal monk

For sure. I’m terrible because I post so many articles promoting third parties, socialism, and anarchy!

Yeah, I was surprised someone hadn’t heard of Pioneer. It was everywhere when I was growing up. Sucks getting old, friends!

Fair enough! Thank you!

I can take it if you wanna give it up. DM’d you as well.

Thank you! I don’t know how I missed it. I looked that sidebar up and down and didn’t notice it first time I looked, but there it is, nice and bright red! lol

Actually it looks like !fediverselore@lemmy.ca shut down. Anybody have any news on that?

ummm excuse me but you are getting upvotes instead of downvotes. is everything ok?

Yep, I’m feeling great! People are finally starting to realize I was right all along. The only reason they were angry in the first place is because I challenged the duopoly. Now that looks like a much stronger position than it did before the election.

The “Blue no matter what” crowd is finally being outnumbered, because their hostility toward diversity of political thought pushed people away.

I was bullied and everyone tried to push me off of Lemmy. But here I am. Still here. Still saying what I always did. It’s awesome! lol

Goldman and de Cleyre maintained a lifelong friendship and respect for one another even though their beliefs differed greatly. de Cleyre explained these differences succinctly in her 1894 essay In Defense of Emma Goldmann and the Right of Expropriation:

“Miss Goldmann is a communist; I am an individualist. She wishes to destroy the right of property, I wish to assert it. … But whether she or I be right, or both of us be wrong, of one thing I am sure; the spirit which animates EMMA GOLDMAN is the only one which will emancipate the slave from his slavery, the tyrant from his tyranny — the spirit which is willing to dare and suffer.”

I moved to peertube, but wow, it’s not a super easy transition when it comes to posting stuff.

Maybe it’s just me, but the UI is definitely wonky and not very intuitive. Took me a bit to figure out how to post.

I plan to really go big with posting soon, so maybe I can make the workflow faster.

Good point! I forgot where I was for a sec.

I see how you feel with your Peertube song.

haha, thanks! Yeah, I was feeling creative that day. I figured, “Hey, I should make a Lemmy song!” You reminded me of it, so I posted it to a nerdcore comm just now. lol

I’m with ya. I LOVE the decentralized nature and concept of Lemmy. Just wish some of the more extreme rhetoric would die down. Because this would make a great creative space. People should def not take it quite so seriously and spend more time outside.

But as an aside, I just had a talk with one of the admins for my instance, and it was a great convo and they are supported of creatives here. So right now, feeling good.

Let me know if you find a better venue… I am also disappointed in Lemmy.

I still love Lemmy, and my main Lemmy instance. But ugh, everything is getting so political and extreme everywhere. I’m trying to transition into just posting my writing and staying in writing communities, but my reputation proceeds me (still no regrets and I still believe in everything I said) and things can downgrade pretty quick.

And if I came up with an alt name, people would recognize my writing and say I was ban-evading.

So ugh, we’ll see. I’m trying to just stay out of everything political, but people mention my fucking name all the time anytime someone talks about “trolls.” And I never back down when I get false accused. lmao

Agreed. Lots of missed opportunities, and Lemmy is also shunning away their allies against Trump by overusing the words Nazi and Fascist to describe every poster that disagrees with Democrats. My gf, who is very very anti-Trump, lasted on Lemmy one day. One day!

She said it was way too hateful and political. lol

I feel bad even recommending it to her, and I don’t recommend it to any of my friends anymore.

Lemmy will die in a few years because of it’s extremism. It’s already slowing down. But I’ll ride it to the end to prove to people that they didn’t bully me off of it. :)

I wish people was more forgiven of Trump voters, it is not the monolithic the Left tries to portray it is. Trump sold himself as fighting the establishment, being anti-war and pro-antitrust (many small business owners supported him)

Be prepared to accept accusations of being a fascist Nazi for saying this. You’re right, but Lemmy is so extreme on this subject, that if you aren’t with the majority, then you’re an evil nazi pig–regardless of reality.

I still get accused of it and all I did was vote third party in the election. 9 months ago! lol

Can confirm. about 15 years ago, my bank account was frozen for 3 weeks for child-support enforcement. Only they weren’t talking about my kid or even me. Some dude in Florida with my same first and last name was a deadbeat dad. So they froze my account because apparently, he didn’t have a bank account or something.

What’s super annoying about it is that we had different middle names, not even close to the same social security number, and not one person even contacted me before my bank account was frozen. I only found out because a check I wrote or something bounced. And I was like, WTF?

I was finally able to talk to enough bank people to clear it up. But it took 3 weeks. I never got an apology for it either. And the fuckers did not refund my insufficient funds fee. I mean, it was only $15 bucks, and it would have cost me more than that in my time to get a refund, but still…

So yeah, even here in the US, banks can suck.

Hey! I resemble this remark!

I’m late to this party so can’t play, but thank you for posting this!
