    Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine Brazil apparently propping up the internet, but huge swathes of twitter shutdown when Brazil banned it a while back, for a short time.

      It’s easy to be bold when the US president is weak. I don’t think they’d ban X if Trump was president at the time.

        Hahahahahaha, that was a good one. Do another one where you pretend Trump wasn’t the biggest, weakest idiot ever to hold this office.

        So strong he needs both hands to drink a glass of water?

        Or is it the way he literally shits himself in the middle of a rally? Oh wait, of course! Cause the only thing strong about that dementia riddled moron is his stench.

        Imagine looking at Trump and thinking, “Wow, him strong!” Fucking weird, I tell ya what…

        Vladimir Putin agrees and is greatly looking forward to it.

        Confessed serial rapist Donald Trump is one of the weakest presidents we’ve ever had, the fuck are you talking about. We, quite literally, have video of world leaders laughing at him to his face. Jeff Epstein’s best friend who bragged that they have the same “On the younger side” tastes didn’t accomplish a single one of his campaign promises the first time, other than tax cuts for the super rich.

    Brasil, please ban facebook. First twitter then facebook. Fuck the gready corporate assholes. Someone needs to make a first step and create a precedent, we need this. Social media will be (already is) the downfall of our civilization.

    Meta’s anti-LGBT rules are closely knit to their ending the fact-checking: It is science denialism and linked to racism and vaccine skepticism.

    Homosexuality and gender identity are not considered mental illnesses, Sex is not a binary, and Race is not connected to intelligence.

    Bigots never liked science on these three, and now they use political power to impose their narrative.

    Meta never moderated such discourse. Nor reddit nor twitter nor youtube. There was no censorship to end here. What this is, it is a free pass to punch down trans and gay people. It is incitement to violence, and Zuckerberg and Musk must go to the gallows for it.

    Don’t get me started on the toxic harassment these platforms have allowed against African and Carribean reparation activists, how they have destroyed the lives of feminists, and how they have named all Palestinians terrorists.

    At this point race realists and gender essentialists have ensured political and technological control of the narrative.

    There is no room for debating sealioning trolls on this one. If they don’t understand the social dynamics against gender/sex/minorities at this moment, they are no better than brownshirts.

    It is permabans and hooks and jabs all the way, for every single weird freak that backs this deranged hateful shit.

      I agree. As a mod on LW myself I have to wonder how far the admin are willing to go to enforce such a policy. Are they really going to start removing mods for banning trolls and bigots‽

      *Edit: oops, I got the posts mixed up. I thought this was the post about lemmy.world’s new policy on debating trolls instead of banning them.

            A modern use case: I like RSS in my terminal so I use newsboat but hate it opening firefox and swapping me out of the terminal when I want to read more. So I have it use lynx instead.

            I also have a computer without a DE that can browse the web (lynx), look at pictures (JP2a), watch movies (I don’t recall the name of the program but it converts the video to ASCII), edit word docs (take your pick), and send email (mail).

        as a PSA, before 🫵you post images on the internet, it’s important to put alt text whenever you can. Some people need screen readers to acess the web, and it can give context to help understand it. Give a good description, and if there’s text on it, include that in the alt text. Acessibility is important!

    According to the extrajudicial notice, this allows users to associate sexual identity to “a mental illness or abnormality” and allows “the defense of professional limitations based on gender.”

    Why does anyone associate with this site. It’s beyond me.

      They do, tho. It’s community notes. If multiple people agree on a correction, especially if those people usually disagree with eachother, it becomes the note
