Hey dude, berserk!

If they praise Stalin, Mao or the CCP, then they’re on the same level. Genociders all.

Depends on your flavour of tankie. I’ve met many who are pro-uyghur genocide and think the holodomor was a good thing.

equal levels of shit imo

you wouldn’t be saying that if tankies were replaced with nazis or something else, just sayin’

Many certainly care.

It’s already gone down. Beehaw has almost most other large instances defederated because of Beehaw’s admins having beef.

Having been called fascist, troll, sealion, and all manner of insults because I dared disagree – Yeah, you’re totally right.

People gotta learn to deal with speech they dislike or disagree with. That’s the beauty of democracy.

Oh it certainly wasn’t free speech. Tons of users trolling neo-nazis got banned.

Most definitely!

I was one of the first users on voat and one of the first banned users on voat. It had horrible admins who were way out of their depth and a posting system that could be exploited. If your account reaches a certain amount of downvotes, it is automatically locked, meaning that bands of users travel from profile-to-profile, destroying any other profiles they dislike.

also, the lack of diversity killed Voat, having nothing but Neo-Nazi and extremist content. This is still a problem that Lemmy faces, where instead of dealing with disagreeable speech, it’s easier to defederate whole instances.

Oh, it wasn’t for free.

Awkwardtheturtle is supposedly the Digital Marketing Manager, Assistant Director of Web Services, Digital Communications Specialist, and Digital Media Strategist in the Innovative Learning Technology Initiative, all operated from within the University of Southern California. Most of their work consists of creating media strategies for pharmaceutical companies. They have a constant Slack channel with direct access to the admins at all times and regularly met with the admins in person. From their qualifications, they likely provided Reddit media strategies.

They still have some of their numerous alts online, which they’re currently being outed.

Worth noting that the subs their alt manages aren’t participating in the blackout. Curious that.

They are a sexist, racist power-mod who regularly bans users they personally dislike. Because they controlled hundreds of subreddits, if they banned you, they banned you across pretty much the entire site.

They are infamous for encouraging male suicide, getting away with their hate speech and selling drugs to minors.

Most likely refusing the admins.

Awkwardtheturtle is a part of the Powermod Slack Team, who aren’t the best friends with the Reddit admins.

There’s nothing that can be done without risking an all-out war. North Korea’s military isn’t a threat, their soldiers are weak, and their technology is ancient.

It’s China that’s a threat. They have been itching for war for the past few decades yet haven’t had good enough of a clause to do so yet.

North Korea is pretty much a vassal or a landing ground for China at this point. North Korea obviously doesn’t want this, nor can they begin communicating and making amends with South Korea because that’d disrupt their power over the citizens. Currently, South Korea and North Korea are in communication again, thanks to both third parties of China and US suddenly becoming unstable (Trump and Ping).

The food and medical supplies don’t go to the ordinary people. Assassinating political leaders only fuels their followers.
