@verita84 @freedompatriot maybe we just need to be okay with gay cities being gay cities and straight cities being straight cities.

@alex it sucks and it is largely unnecessary IMO

@REX Democratic response has been what's most surprising to me about this whole thing. They seem to be clamoring for complete control by trying to pressure Trumpians into a response and thus fracture the Republican party. But it's short-sighted and going to fuck them in the long run.

@BlackPowderPress why is it so hard to believe that they are working to try to prevent violence right now?

@SocialConstructEverywhere the concept of a social construct is a social construct

@photophoregirl "someone has a different political opinion than me! How dare he!"

@Xenidae "plants" I don't buy it. There are millions of people who think the election was rigged, and they were just deplatformed, their capacity to peacefully and legally organize was taken from them. Of course some of them will actually fight back.

20k military troops, reports by the FBI of armed protests at every capital, and now they're locking down every single federal prison?
I think it's safe to say that this week is gonna be kinda shitty

@franklinlopez As an American, I personally choose to avoid chinese social media apps.

Twitter refugees are somewhat toxic, lol. I'm glad I never got into Twitter.

@pj a ban or block is a good indication that they don't want you interacting with them or their community. There are more than enough mastodon instances that there aren't monopoly issues to worry about.

@pj using a vpn to circumvent a ban isn't innocuous.

@hugopoi looks like they're working on it https://mobile.twitter.com/signalapp/status/1350185818527211521

@franklinlopez xmpp is probably the best stable protocol if you need decentralized chat.

@hugopoi signal is down because they gained 40 million users in just a few days. They have no funding issues.

@PonyPanda you literally said in your root post "Can I register an account with a VPN and then just shit post with my normal IP?" You rude ass
