Ryle had a heart attack.
People being sent death threats... DDoS on UFoI members, one LGBTQ server in good standing was blocked by 33 other instances for supporting us openly.... Yet they insist there is no problem that needs addressing, to the point they violently oppose an agreement between server admins to engage in transparency, ethics, and evidence in interinstance moderation....
These things prove that the need for the UFoI is very real.

There's a common Libertarian cliche: Assume the regulation you favor will be enforced by your worst enemy.
I'd like to add another one: Assume the regulation you favor will be enforced by blithering idiots.
@jhertzli All this bullshit abou t " your truth " . As if...
@jhertzli INn OP it is called a right wing "fascist" myth by mister black anarchist. FWIW.
I agree with your second sentence but perhaps no in application.
meta, racism: Rant on whiteness on the Fediverse (long)
@ yuki2501@hackers.town
RETOOT ME ONLY
This is a tiresome rant we hear recycled over and over and over again as if (1) black folks are the only ones in the whole wide world that got beef, (2) all white folks and especially white men have nothing of value to add to the conversation on #moderation and #racism and #whiteness and the #nazi harassment against #Jews and outspoken #allies is not significant.
We have heard this line ad nauseum and most people are moving on to other concerns. It is bad enough when privileged African-American Australian and UK authors who are #POC endlessly repeat this "we-so-special" canned pitch.
No one wants to hear it from an anonymous cartoon character.
Guaranteed the hate mail pile - on I will receive for expressing 'enough' with this saturation coverage of the alleged "silencing" of black voices will far exceed the alleged #trolling ande #shitposting that the OP receives.
Just, enough already. We don't need these #condescendingsaviours.
Here is more of the patent BS which forces me to not deal with this particular breed of leftist. It's pretty obvious that the planetary carrying capcity is exceeded it is not "eco-fascist". In fact, most - but not all - far right ideologies hew the capitalist line that this dude is putting out.No point engaging.
What is cool about qoto.org you don't have to worry about getting cancelled. Any attempt to argue with the idiot on kolektiva would result in a permanent IP ban.
It sames right there in his handle he is presumed to be black so he can say what he wants.
Who was it Himmler that said "is a jew who I say is a Jew".
So now this dude is all about "is a fascist who I say is a fascist".
Fucking idiot.
@ceoln so so much for "reparations" endless victimhood posturing I never owned slave and never robbed nobody at knifepoint. I am not asking for reparations for all the violence directed at me by blacks.
@ceoln All true. But I suspect that there is a lot more black-on-white violent #crime (robbery, rape) than the reverse. Assault, maybe less. People base politics on personal experience, hence the left is unhinged from the working class. Sad reality of the matter. If true, explains incarceration rates, capital punishment. That, plus institutional #racism which I don't deny is a big factor.

I just learned of several more instances that have removed us from block lists.. Im glad to see so many instance admins are willing to listen to reason and have changed their decisions in light of the facts and evidence. From what I hear it wasnt just my emails but the efforts of so many in the community showing support for us. I really appreciate that from all of you.
In this corner you have CCP #ZeroCOVID
In the other corner, you have politicized ostrich #covid denialists.
Ready...set...go!
Inviting #kanye to dinner might have been an effective checkers move in some universe, maybe.
Breaking bread with #NickFuentes was utterly fucking stupid. He has no real base, the far right thinks he's a jackass and wrote him off months ago. If he ever had any traction to begin with.
#Ye is simply crazy, out of his league, the perfect picture of nouveau riche. Not even so talented just got lucky and hit the charts big, made all the right connections with high powered producers and promoters.
With #DeSantis gaining on him the #MAGA movement might continue without Trump. His one last chance might be the #ElonMusk #twittertakeover but he will likely squander that opportunity.
The madhouse that #twitter is becoming will probably be a laughinstock for centuries.
If the US electoral system was not so rigged with two senators per state, electoral college, etc., the #GOP would be crumbling, It's not doing so well as it is. 2025 will be a very interesting year. Prepare.
All that has been said, black people are fucking people like anyone else. They are not monkeys. They are not "lower". Their DNA is 99.9% the same as anyone else's. Some of them are badasses and smart as a whip.
Me, fuck it. I just work here.
It is a coin toss whether I get a pissed off white supremacist or a pissed off black nationalist yelling at me in my DMs.
But actually, I don't give a fuck. They can tear each other apart I tried to do the right thing and keep the peace but the extremists on both sides won't stop and take a breath.
"If the boys wanna fight you better let 'em."
Not all white people are fat cigar smoking tech bros who don't have a clue what it is to be poor, battle weary.
Look at the history of Ireland.
The former Yugoslavia.
The crap going on in Ukraine.
You think those (white) people don't suffer?
#racism
also the black-on-black racism is awful look at the way the South African blacks terrorized the Zimbabwe blacks. Similar shit going on in Kenya. The Congo is one of the worst human rights disasters on the planet you don't even want to know about the way the soldiers rape the women.
The Rwanda genocide.
But oh, yeah, they blame white people.
And no I don't use the term " #reverseracism
because it is plain old black-on-white racism.
Prejudice toots that "fish" for replies so as to accuse people of prejudice.
@empiricism Recently? Someone just posted a thread today where they quoted someone from ___.xyz making a perfectly reasonable remark and they held it up for ridicule. And like parrots everyone in the thread chimed in...I don't want to provoke a pile on but I remember who the OP was.
Maybe it was your comment that was being held up for ridicule.
@ceoln OK so then do you think that it will ever be acceptable to have "whites/caucasians only" threads?
A thought experiment
How about if someone posted "White people only reply to this thread. POC you can boost and favorite, only. OK now let's talk about black on white crime...you know I know you know it is real, it is often pretty extreme, and you're not supposed to ever ever bring it up or you will be labelled as a "racist".
OK now I am not into Tucker Carlson or any of that. But this is the reality that comes out of trying to be a decent human being. I see all the antiracist people ready to throw stones and run you off if you have the slightest sense that maybe just maybe the "blue eyed devils" are not the root of all evil.
