Be the change you want to see in the world!

Also sub to smaller and more contrnt specific instances? Personally I have been having fun interacting with communities from my hobbies (most specifically manga) and at the end of the day that’s what matters most.

No no, socialims is when I have two cows and the government eats one of them (or something like that, I didn’t advance much in my theory)

Already responded, seriously, edit your comments instead of replying twice, it is really annoying.

Emmmm, kind of disingenuous. And by that I mean a lot.

First of all, who takes the word of someone at face value that they didnt commit a crime. One thing would be a confession, which you can of course still doubt if there are proper reasons, but a defense saying “what I did is not a crime” is useless in itself.

Second, he is being disingenuous here. He mocks the loverboy methos like it is a fake accousation with no meaning behind, seriously describing it as “being nice” is sick.

If you are actually interested on why it is condemned and considered part of traficking, read the part on grooming here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_trafficking

And here is a law firm article on the matter: https://www.carlsonattorneys.com/news-and-update/loverboy-andrew-tate

Seriously though, this clip is no reply. He literally deflects the accusations “I pretended to love girls to make ticktock for money”, no, that isnt the accusation, it was forcing them into porn by coercing them and placing them in situations where it is difficult to reject. The allegations are serious, one thing is to defend himself saying he didnt do it, but to try to downplay what he has been accused of (and even said himself he has done years ago) is sickening.

Here is an archive of his old website, which he has now deleted, I wonder why.

I can’t be bothered to search for the clips themselves, as I really don’t want to hear him talk anymore. But I remember a plethora of yt shorts were he described this one easy way to make money…

Out of context? Mate I’m not basing my reasoning on a bbc interview I haven’t watched to begin with…

“Without evidence” bruh he has described using the loverboy method himself, consistently for years.

And even if you were to say he is lying (which would be a weird thing yo lie about) you do have 2 rape allegations back in the UK plus allegations in Rumania, if you go and ignore it all saying there is 0 evidence that is on you…

You might say there is no definitive evidence yet, but that is just because he hasn’t gone through trial, which says nothing about culpability

Eow that suuuuree is some strong evidence that he hasn’t committed any crimes

POV: you see someone who doesn’t believe what Andrew Tate has said himself but is a fan

Oy, unrelated question, did you changr instances??? I can’t see the posts you made yesterday. Or did you delete them/were they deleted?

Also, must say, I’m quite enjoying your posts. It feels like a mixture of bait low effort trolling with a little bit of honesty behind and I just find it hilarious, so don’t stop (well of course until you get banned)

I’m personally deeply skeptical, even if it’s from one of the most secure companies I would have a heart attack if I hear it’s hacked.

I personally just use pen and paper, two copies, and try to do variations or new passwords for things I care about and then one common password for useless things with no credit card info.

One of his main talking points it’s how we are all living on the matrix and you have to deprogram yourself, of course he sells courses on how to do exactly that!

It is one of those things when scam artists poke at general sentiment but actually their message has 0 substance, similar to when alt righters say that cultural marxists have taken over. It means nothing but they love to play the underdog to some nefarious force, pretending to resist which is the way they use to justify why their ideas are so frowned upon on today’s society.

Common law legislations also have piracy laws? I would rather say it’s more of a western kind of affair, since a lot of countries in the east + africa (especially underdeveloped or that only recently developed) have yet to sign international treaties on enforcing piracy law.

Having the law is one thing, but of course most countries that aren’t on western europe or North America barely enforce piracy laws. (For example look at the entirety of south america, where official huge bus companies will just play pirated movies on the screens)

Only 1, haven’t needed to have more accounts and there isn’t an instantance I have wanted to visit but that has blocked mine yet, so no need to have another one right now

The one I use doesn’t block other instances, although I probably will block the same instances and people that big instances already block, I want to be the one to make that choice and shape the content I see.

r/writtingprompts by far my favorite community of all time and I hope it makes a resurgence

Other ones would be r/the10thdentist, r/nottheonion and r/askhistorians (they probably will never join since they have their own website to fall back own if it all goest to shit)

Lastly r/manga, I said this one as separate because I have seen a few but the community is not there yet, especially lacking features like what are you reading this month and at MOST having 15 subscribers

“Developer claims” didn’t steam literally announce this like 2 days ago??

Fine, I just don’t get the echo chamber feeling but admittedly I only use beehive for gaming/anime/escapism hobby related communities so I haven’t seen it being all about conteolling politics, at least not directly.

At the end of the day I barely get what you mean by controlling politics, since it is not apparent on the communities I visit. Also keep in mind, I’m not american so if this is about the culture war over there or a republicans vs democrats thing I probably won’t notice it since it hasn’t affected any discussion I’ve had.

But I would need concrete examples for me to see it as authoritarian because in a vacuum as I explained I can see communities pulling this kind of conduct without it being about controlling the discourse per se but more about helping communities.

Edit: forgot to say, but if it was over politics I don’t think that would necessitate a ban lemmy.world (or alternative ly that would mean complete defederation) since it has no clear political affiliation, I see it just it being massive and difficult to moderate otherwise they would have targeted many other toxic instances way before touching .world.

Why would you not be welcome? Is it for your political opinions? Even if it were, I don’t think they would personally shun you unless it entails attacking minorities.

That aside, and having said that of course it is everyone’s perrogative to judge this behavior, I personally feel it is an exaggeration. Not every instance is about free speech nor should they be, at the end of the day the fediverse is about creating communities, one is able and should shape them into what their vision of that is. This is not authoritarianism, in this case they said it is due to their inability to moderate.

Even if it weren’t for that, it is good that communities don’t federate with every instance, aa I said, not everyone is about free speech and changing opinions some are here to have a good time and for that adequate protection is necessary.

I myself prefer deciding myself when to block other instances, so I joined one that let’s users decide. But if other instances decided to block us I would understand and either move on or join another instance to interact with them without thinking much about it (having multiple accounts is kind of easy on the apps,)

I think I’m kind of used from servers blocking one another from my time on mastodon and I’ve seen the necessity of the practice, for example an anime focused group blocking bot instances, brigading, alt right groups, etc.
