The longer I’m on lemmy, the more I realize just how dumb reddit user controls are
When I was on reddit, it seemed to matter so much how old your account was on any given subreddit, but now i realize it’s extraordinarily bad opsec to have a single account.
All this to say: there being a single point of authority that can issue IP bans and shadowblocks and generally have control over user identity information is just so needlessly stupid.
Depends on the type of magnesium
Just for the record, this is what democrats always do, and it’s why they keep fucking losing.
Democrats would rather have trump than have a social-democratic platform, and it shows every time they have the opportunity to fight him and chose to capitulate instead. The democrats aren’t a left-wing party, certainly not now, and arguably not since FDR.
Definitely illegal, and definitely a test balloon for what types of executive authority they can get away with.
They chose Khalil specifically because of the subject of his protesting - they might get a handful of judges that allow this abuse because of the near-universal bipartisan support for Israel.
Whether or not this sticks will be an indicator on how far the US slips into fascism, and I’m certainly hopeful this gets reversed quickly.
Idk if using a homophonic slur (even as an lgbt individual) will fly here either, honestly.
Just a heads-up
They want Europe to feel threatened so that we come to them for help where they can put on the mask of protector when in reality they want to turn the entire world in the dystopian shitshow they have
Couldnt this just as easily be about the US?
For anyone still curious, the ban was lifted already
I’m attending the second funeral in as many weeks this weekend for very close childhood friends, and the thing that’s getting me is the grief of losing not just those friends, but loss and realization that I’m not even who I was when I knew them anymore
Like I’m kind of choking up now just thinking about it.
It’s been a rough month.
