    This was the straw that broke the camel’s back. I remember seeing something a while back on r/coolguides about alternatives for various sites, including Lemmy as an alternative to Reddit. Today, I saw the writing on the wall and decided it was time.

    The worst isn’t just the Luigi thing, it’s that in the future, they will most likely expand it to include any topic that the administration disapproves of.

    Remember, they’re not threatened by Luigi. They’re threatened by the fact that so many people love Luigi and what he stands for.

      This. He’s basically a martyr at this point.

      Luigi reminded the people that we have power. We don’t need to be subservient to the whims of corporate interests. We can choose to go a different way. He’s in jail but millions of people who are inspired by him are roaming free, any of which could become the next Luigi, and wack some CEO who is devoid of empathy or ethics (which is all of them). Anyone could be the perpetrator, anyone could be the target.

      It’s like a large chunk of the USA is now part of anonymous. Expect us.

      (And for anyone who binds anonymous with 4chan, you don’t understand anonymous)

    Kill one rich guy - complete and utter censorship.

    Be a rich guy who is a twice impeached convicted felon presidential traitor making decisions resulting in casualties over the thousands - whoah, now, wouldn’t want their feelings to be hurt!

    State of the world in a nutshell.

      Boycott Amazon. Thiel sold his PayPal shares so he shouldn’t have a significant stake in eBay anymore so I don’t know if they’re worth boycotting.

        Look. People been saying that for a decade per my memory. And nothing was done - this tells me your little boycott ain’t gonna work.

        No - do smarter.

        Get a gun.
        Fund WFD.
        Fund eff. Call your rep and tell them you are done

          If you think giving Bezos money to fly a flag is praxis and boycotting isn’t, I don’t really know what to tell you.

        Both will collect your data, Amazon will sell it to the highest bidder, and you’re ultimately supporting a big corporation. DIY
