@nesquik I don't know. I thought the technology was called mastodon and everyone had their own instances. I don't know. I mean basically anyone who can reply to this post would count.
I though it was like 10 million or so people.
@johnlitt unsure. I guess you would have to ask some evil nonsense who would do that.
It appears shadowbans are now standard fair over at mastodon.social. I contacted the admins to get their response, lets hope im mistaken, but the more I look into it the more corrupt the joinmastodon and mastodon.social organizations are starting to look. Uncovered some really nasty stuff these past few weeks.
I'll share the full details in a post later today. I'd like to see if the admins actually respond first.
@freemo Yes, I Agree.
The time for American's to pick up guns to over throw the government died almost a century ago, if not much earlier.
I also agree, that not everyone can afford to move.
For most people though,(*acknowledging I am not a psychic) it is a large percentage of indoctrinated and willful ignorance and/or not wanting to participate in politics in any way.
This is also a lesson that Germans had to learn and why watching the government is not only a right but a civic duty.
The mainstream media has a lot to be blaimed for, but they are not soley to blaim for this.
@TheGnuMaster I agree they should have overthrown their government. Regardless of 911 I'd say its about time we overthrow the american government too.
But I'm not sure its that simple. I identified the corruption of america, my solution was to move away and remove my tax dollars from funding it. But those with less money than me really dont have that option. I know I didnt pick up a gun and start charing the white house.
It just isnt so simple sadly.
@freemo I do understand we do not want the poor and vulnerable to have to pay for the crimes of big wigs. That said, all Germans had to pay. Collective punishment, whilst in almost all areas can never be justified, may be the only way an EMPIRE can learn from its mistake.
@freemo I think that if we look at the effect that the drastic consequences Germany faced after the National Socialist down fall, we can't deny how effective the punishement was in acheiving a result of a Free, Just and Human Rights respecting Democracy. (atleast for the most part)
@freemo Also, I will add that regardless of your personal politics or that of Germans of the third reich era. One of the important questions was, why did you let it happen? why did you not overthrow the government?
In todays context we may think that the US government is impossible to overthrow, were it necessary to establish justice. But it only takes the power of one person to change all that.
The impossible empires have always crashed and burned because they thought they were invulnerable.
@freemo I suppose I can agree with you to an extent. But also remember that the toll that this took on society to reflect and never forget which will ensures that people can never repeat the same mistake with the same excuses of ignorance that those who tried to escape Nazi prosecution did.
@freemo Reparations, Reflection and serious imposed changes like that on post Nazi Germany would be a start.
@freemo You fired a reply before I had the chance to send my next toot which alludes to that.
