    They are trying to make it seem like they care about kids at the same time they released the Epstein files… While Trump is lying saying he is not guilty / not in them. They are trying to rile up their base even more and encite violence towards their political enemies. People have been calling for violence on Twitter and ramping it up. I am sick of leftist platforms censoring so much because its very scary.

    compelled to use

    I gotta say, a lot of the compulsion seems to be around “adult content” which is fairly easy to avoid in most cases.

    I would be more interested in how these rules tend to target LGBTQ+ groups for censorship than how they slap a “teenagers” tag on anyone who isn’t feeding them biometric data. This feels like another edition of “straight is normal, gay is sex” Christian orthodoxy being codified into the digital landscape.

    Complete anecdote, but without exception, every non-corporate Reddit community I am a member of is evaluating something like Zulip or Element right now with the majority of the users ready to jump ship.

    This compels me to learn deepfakes, which seems not too hard as long as you have sufficient hardware… Or if not then those Death Stranding like methods might still work :AyameHmm:

      It’s quite doable. If you have pretty much any not-prehistoric GPU, you can run quantized Z-Image turbo. If it’s a not-ancient Nvidia GPU, you can run a 4-bit SVDquant version extremely quickly.

      There may even be versions runnable on Intel IGPs or beefy CPUs these days, though I have not personally investigated this.

      Or you can just use the Artbot through the AI Horde for a deepfake, with no corporate servers involved. It’s crowdsourced inference, basically the equivalent of the Fediverse.

      They seem pretty reticent about pursuing white collar crimes, particularly when they intersect with sex trafficking of under-aged girls.

      Enjoy your “AI” biometrics!

      There’s going to be many pictures of Sam Bridges in the Palantir biometrics catalog.

    The guy that said:

    Finding things on their way to collapse was much easier than finding the next bargain.

    I genuinely don’t understand how is he still free and alive. He’s as close to a real life devil you’d find. In his own words - he’s working on societal collapse to gain more power. Can someone do something already?

      I’m milking it for SEO until I get kicked off. It’s been a shitshow since the pandemic. Probably had 10+ accounts banned for having an unpopular opinion, I wear that with pride.

      Unfortunately probably a lot fewer will move than we expect. People seem capable of accepting all sorts of shittification in favour of actively changing their platform. Just look at how many still uses twitter, despite its literal nazification.

      That honestly isn’t possible. I have several accounts perma banned and I just make new ones. VMs circumvent hardware ID mapping, VPNs circumvent IP banning. Until they require phone numbers to create accounts circumventing their bans is childs play.

      How do they permaban you? By IP address? I can’t see how they could verify a new user being the same person as a old one. Email address is trivial to get around too.

        I got permabanned a while ago. In the time since, I’ve moved to a new country and gotten all new devices. Made a new account with a new email address to try to join local subs in the new area.

        That account was banned a couple hours later for ban evasion. I had made zero comments or posts and hadn’t joined any of my old subs. After that, I assumed they just have an AI that auto bans a chunk of new accounts “just in case”, because I genuinely have no idea what they could have done to connect the two accounts to each other.

        They use several metrics to fingerprint you supposedly. I’m sure there’s a work around but I’m too fucking lazy for that when it comes to socials.

        Someone posted they wished Trump would die (basically). I said nah, let him stroke out and suffer.

        That was like my last strike. Before I had said stuff like Miller is a nazi and stuff(prove me wrong Reddit!). People would report those as threatening harm and I don’t think the Reddit goons really care so yeah…

        I was just permabanned on 3 accounts for anti-ice/trump/pedo comments. 2 existing accounts were 10 years old. One was pretty much just for NSFW/NSFL stuff and I rarely commented on anything with.

        One new one I made afterwards was permabanned within 5 hours for ban evasion.

        Somehow I forgot I’d made one with “sign in with Apple” a while back and it was on my iPad. That account still works fine.

        It’s weird.

          All of my accounts got permabanned on Reddit for calling someone “A piece of fucking human garbage” for saying that only vulnerable and old people died from Covid and how Covid wasn’t a big deal. I lost friends in their 20s to it.

          Apparently what I said was inciting hatred and violence. But saying a deadly pandemic that killed millions “wasn’t a big deal”, and “Your friends were probably going to die anyway” is perfectly okay to Reddit Admins.

            Sorry if you did end up reading the comment I deleted. I misread your comment and thought you were denying COVID. I’m over here flighting off the flu (even though I got flu shot) and not thinking clearly.

            I once got a sub ban for speaking the truth about Lauren Bobert. Called her a “dumb cunt”, which is 100% true.

            Permabanned from the sub.

              All good. Thanks for the correction I appreciate it. Yeah I was defending people who died and buddy was saying that only vulnerable or old people were dying so it’s “not a big deal”.

              I knew people who died who were healthy and young. The entire idea that anyone dying from a global pandemic is “not a big deal, they would die anyway” can eat the biggest bag of dicks.

              Apparently reddit disagrees.

    I have not experienced such on Reddit myself, but I am diversifying my use, just in case.

    This place looks nice so I’ve created an account and set up a new bookmark.
