In the insane asylum we didn’t care about genders, we were all shacked up together regardless of identity or sex at birth, no doors were allowed on rooms or showers or anything, so I’m not sure where I’d be insulting genders with that statement.
I’ve been forced to stay at an insane asylum, I was only going based off my prior experiences is all, had no idea about the trans thing.
Which subs pray tell?
Would just be nice to be able to have open dialogue instead of all this tribalism and rage and arson and violence and assault and whatnot. Seems like a fair ask but everyone has lost their minds lately it seems.
That’s around when my account was 7-day suspended, early Feb. Interesting.
That’s what I think happened to me, seems weird that so many of us are getting banned at the same time. It’s different for me though, I get banned or downvoted to oblivion if I express any right wing ideas. It’s 98% leftist there now it seems. Wouldn’t surprise me if they ban r/conservative entirely this year.
Makes me wonder if a social site could advertise a “bot-free” environment somehow. Some sort of verification system, one e-mail, one verification picture (handwritten note picture maybe, not face or anything.) And only 1 account per human, no bots… I feel like that’s going to have to happen eventually at the rate AI is going. Facebook is probably half-AI bots at this point already.
I signed up for hexbear out of morbid curiosity, that place feels like an insane asylum.
I went through a phase where I would find good posts on reddit and then just copy the link and post here… but as of now, reddit is like 95% anti-Trump posts so it’s all noise. Lemmy is fairly noisy with that lately too but not as bad. I need to figure out a better way to filter out politics because it’s ruining online discussion even in non-political threads, somehow it devolves into “orange man bad” somehow at some point and it’s just tiresome going over the same topic over and over with the same talking points. Musk nazi, orange man bad… when you see it 50000000000 times it just gets old after a while, with RES I am able to filter out subs which helps immensely but I don’t think that’s possible here. But like r/pics, r/interestingasfuck, r/lotr, r/lego, r/technology, r/news, many many others… 90% political now, so the majority of the site is useless to me now. And it feels like it’s majority bots now, probably LLM-generated discussion through an API, dead internet theory is in full speed ahead mode.
I think the mainstream isn’t quite ready for the fediverse yet, I see people complaining about not knowing which instance to sign up for and how it works on reddit here and there. I just got a 7-day site-wide suspension because I guess I said something the admins didn’t agree with (didn’t violate any ToS, they just see something they don’t like and banhammer.) This is why decentralization is the key to the future, reddit admins/mods are psychotic power hungry assholes 99% of the time it seems.
I mean Jesus did literally walk into temples and flip tables over and kick people out for bad behavior, so this isn’t far off.
Yeah, google ITEP and see that they are classified as “left leaning”. I feel like this lemmy instance is all hard-left at this point.

Isn’t their source of data characterized as “left-leaning”? How valid is this information?
Why would a pro-Trump supporter blow up a car outside of one of his properties? Something doesn’t add up. And in one picture he had a pro-Ukraine shirt on. Doesn’t really make sense.
No we’re just functional adults in the real world, you should give that a try sometime.
Actually all MAGA people I know are extremely happy and successful, 300 of us are meeting up in person next week. You wouldn’t believe the amount of love these groups have.
Can you imagine siding with the political party that got completely decimated by a career criminal on a national level?
I’m not registered to vote, where did I mention trump at all in my comment? “Your opinion is different than mine, PISS OFF TROLL HURRRRR DURR mouth frothing”. Great argument, was great speaking with you today, thanks for your contribution.
The “vote democrat to save democracy, you must vote one party, … for democracy” seems like Orwellian doublespeak at this point, because if you look at the numbers, democracy is about to be heavily eroded over time by the democrats. I’m not even registered to vote, but it’s obvious to see the tactics being pushed and enacted.
I’ve been in an insane asylum before, we didn’t have gender identity as part of the program there… everyone was shacked up together regardless of gender or identity, no doors allowed on any rooms or showers or anything. No contact with the outside world, no internet, no TV, no movies, no music, no books, nothing allowed. I was just noticing similar behavior to all of us at the asylum, that is all, it had nothing to do with gender or trans people whatsoever as we never talked about any of that in the asylum either. But okay, friend, I hope you have a great day.
