This. Why would anyone want their private conversations, out there? Don’t put your password in you will. Put a dead man switch on your PC.

If it is to close down a social media account they can contact the company directly.

If it is to take out money, they can contact the bank directly.

If it is to inform contacts, they can live without knowing.

If it is to cancel subscriptions, you’re going to have to send letters, wait in a phone call for hours, and cancel the credit card either way because of scummy cancellation practices.

I already know the story of Pepe and the attempt at portraying it as a hate speech symbol. Almost everyone made fun of them when they first made that statement.

And the thing about Pepe is that he is a meme template. That means he can be used in any ideological statement, greentext story, copy-pasta or anything. It is very apparent that the ADL do not understand internet culture, and that’s why no one took their statement about pepe seriously. They have no idea what they’re talking about.

I made that exact statement in another thread on Lemmy before his video was even out, and it is the most obvious thing to point out so I doubt I was the first to do so either. And the way you phrase it makes it sound like you disagree with the argument. Do you consider pepe to be a dog whistle for racism? Because I think not even a small percentage of conspiracy theorists seriously do that. Or maybe you just want to argue with someone?

I think every youtuber has talked about this now, not just Asmongold.

I haven’t downplayed death threats. It was a conversation where someome falsely alleged that someone else had received death threats, which had no evidence, and the person in question never even claimed they had received any.

The rest is just me calling out misinformation about black myth wukong (the sexism allegations that turned out to be mistranslations) and about the harassment campaing against Sweet Baby Inc, bias in gaming journalism, etc.

I’ve never taken a specific political stance in any of their conversations. I just am against misinformation and censorship and call them out when they happen.

The reason I’m against what your post is about, is because ADL were extremely dishonest in their findings, and I think they’re biased or politically motivated to implement restrictions that require users to give up more private information about themselves, or not be allowed free speech.

And no, I didn’t break any rules either. Every ban I’ve faced have all been completely unjustified, which is why I’ve blocked most of the communities I’ve been banned on. It’s like being banned from hexbear and you saying that makes me deserve to get my account removed. The little information you get out of that modlog only shows the mods being biased.

And you would know about biased mods, seeing as you yourself have been banned and then called out after making a thread about it. It isn’t all black and white. I’m not interested in who was right in that post, you or the mod, but you get my point.

Yes that is me, and no I am not a transphobe. The ghazi mods banned me because I said that someone losing a visa for something they said is fucked up. I didn’t even know who the person was who lost the visa or what they had done. I have never made any transphobic statements whatsoever, and you can dive deeper through the modlog to find evidence of that because it would show.

Also, I don’t appreciate you trying to cancel me just because I don’t agree with your post. We’re adults here.

ADL says steam was unsafe after stating that pepe the frog is an extremist symbol to more than double the number of cases found.

Remove the meme, and take into consideration the number of users, 0.1% of users have used some form of extreme symbol or statement. That is a lower ratio of extremism than what Lemmy has.

This is a reach for control and surveillance. Nothing else.

Fuck ADL.

What criticism? Your post literally is “haha, look at sad white people after they get what’s coming to them”

And your entire joke only works if “all of white people” was one single entity, but they’re not. A white person is not responsible for other white people.

And why should that one white person just shut up and take the punches for something they’re not responsible for?

But I will read CRT and get back to you one day. If it is based on science as you say, it should offer an explanation to why hate only is acceptable when it is directed at someone with a system advantage they didn’t ask for.

My definition is the number 1 definition on the dictionary you linked.

And here’s how definitions work:

If you fall under only a single of the definitions, you are as defined. I.e. maybe you don’t have a systemic advantage over me, (neither do I over you, because I don’t live in the US and am a racial minority in the country I live in), you are still racist under the other just as valid definitions. They’re not outdated definitions, they’re official and still very much valid definitions that apply to you, a racist.

I am not helping the right one bit, you are radicalizing the right by spreading hate against people who had nothing to do with building the system, or had anything to do with slavery. Why would anyone listen to a raging lunatic calling them all sorts of slurs? They’ll think “the fuck is wrong this person?”

You are so blinded by hate, and so motivated to “get back at the oppressors” you would attack an entire race over it. Go outside.

You are so cherrypicking definitions, you think you’re cute.

a belief that race is a fundamental determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race also : behavior or attitudes that reflect and foster this belief : racial discrimination or prejudice

Hey, that sounds just like you.

Nice racism, bro. The literal dictionary definition of racism includes against white people. Whether the target is a marginalized group is not relevant whatsoever.

You just wants to be racist but also think you are morally right to be so, and posts like yours only serve the right-wing. Kindly remove your bigot self from Lemmy.

Or, get this, every white person in this meme is a different person, and the last one is completely unrelated to the above ones.

The last white person has original sin because other white people were racist pieces of shits.

How about we stop fighting racism with racism, and instead try to unite against the elites?

It is a nice concept in theory. It has a bit of resemblance to the metaverse minus monetary enshittification, but there are some challenges to this.

It would for example end up just as dead if the other players got bored of it and stopped playing. Then there is server costs for something where there really isn’t that much realtime interaction in, and all these metagames would need to be just as fun with a global time at a set flow, or be OK with synching only at the end of the day.

These of course aren’t impossible challenges.

You could leave the “online” part to a simple global api backend and skip the gameserver itself to greatly reduce costs. You wouldn’t see the other players in person but you’d see their shops grow each new day, and there could be an NPC of their owner walking around.

You could bankrupt inactive players and give their lands to new players, and implement import/export costs for distant shops incentivizing local trade. You’d probably still want normal NPCs, but their interactions would have to be predetermined each day if you don’t have a game server running all day, and want to prevent cheating.

The implementation difficulty and cost greatly varies depending on how much interaction and fairness you want, but setting up an API server is fairly easy if you don’t worry about scaling in case the game really takes off.

Host it on the tor network.

Host it on web 3.0.

Host it outside the US.

Host it over torrents and i2p.

This is why I was secretly rooting for Aether to take off instead of Lemmy.

The one war I hope both sides get annihilated in.

Patent the code and sue Nintendo when they release the game.

Why not just use Matrix? I thought it was the goto FOSS and decentralized Discord alternative.
