I too was permabanned for inciting violence. I suggested Princess Leia should strangle Trump with her chain. Is this a new thing maybe? The story is common.

I like Lemmy. It reminds me of early reddit. For me, it’s a shame to watch it slowly bring more of the dumb junk I didn’t like into the mix. It’s inevitable, I guess, but the memes and reddit culture are bleeding out of their containers and into the other sections. Im seeing more balanced views and it’s kind of nice to read intelligent posts from people I disagree with rather than the mudslinging from common reddit views. There’s safety in numbers, and people know what is reddit-popular to say. Opposing views are buried there.

Haha. Im not alone! A very similar thing happened to me, except I said that Trump needs a metal-bikini-clad dancing girl to strangle him with her chain. Perma ban. Same appeal. Same result. Maybe they’re not Star Wars fans.

Anyway, now I have lemmy and I think I prefer it.
