Uh-oh X-boycott bros, what's going to happen now..?! NFL vs r/NFL?!

[Boredfrom]

Again, I don’t think that is particularly funny and more like genuinely worrisome.

Do we really have to ban people for making the obvious joke that literally all of us are thinking? A month for a gif that is so inoffensive you don't need to remove it from the banned post?

This is a sentiment that is only going to grow. jettisoning good members of the community is just going to hurt the forums.

Fascism has arrived. The decorum goes out the window. Banning people like DigitalOp and Fat4all is just going to drive more and more members away.

This admin and those that are bowing to it are fine with many members of this forum ceasing to exist. Other social media has been overtaken by Nazis.

It’s 2025 and they’re still at “everyone I don’t like is a Nazi”. Amazing. Keep going, fellas.

I mean, their broken clock got one right with Elon.

bdubs post about how disabling the twitter embed would be a "massive amount of work" and the "biggest project we've ever done" or whatever really pissed me off. I hate it when fuckers knowingly lie or are ignorant on that level. neither option makes me think highly of him.

i want to write a fucking greasemonkey or stylish script to do it.

he worked himself into a situation where he's probably correct. "breaking future embeds while not breaking old ones (which would tank seo and numbers)" is probably an actually difficult task. its one he decided is the only possible solution so he's put himself into an unwinnable situation just so he can claim it to be impossible.

Why does anyone care about breaking Twitter embeds in old threads? 

No one is going to them anyway.

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

Uhm, chuddie? It's important for the Palestine/Gaza thread and the Ukraine thread. They need to be able to go through old tweets from unverified sources.

Meta should be next...

Many subs are including meta.

Ngl, tiktok bent the knee too. Just saying. Ain't none of these major sites shit.

They won't stop at one. May as well ban all social media, dubs!

Youtube does allow alt-right videos and platforms literal Nazis too..

You are not obligated to vote for evil.

Are you implying that people who did vote, voted for evil? That comparison seems...inflammatory. It might be seen as antagonistic to other users. I wonder if this user has an extremely long history of the same? 

Is she implying Kamala is evil?  A black woman is evil?

Are you implying that NepNep isn't one of those people who questioned Kamala's blackness?

Ban oligarchs and their platforms unless they specifically have not done a 180 on how they operate. Can include the Washington Post, make it only screenshots and quotes of their content.

B-dubs is his own worst enemy. He complained about how banning Cyberpunk was so hard on staff and now he has his next self fulfilling prophecy. He goes along with their idea of banning X and now starts the call for other platform bans.

User Banned (Duration Pending): Advocating ethnic cleansing, previous severe bans for dismissing representation and racial issues

All I did was quote the thread title, dude.
I'm not gloating here.

What are our options for supporting Palestinian emancipation if this ceasefire falls through?

i don't know what would be involved but imo its far more realistic at this point to setup some sort of fund/system that relocates all Palestinians out of Gaza/West Bank into somewhere else. There are a total of 5m Palestinians who live between the two areas. If a fund was created that had say 5-15 billion dollars, which is literally chump change for big projects. I'm sure there are a few countries out there that would accept 5-15 billion to resettle 5m people.

Yes, it means Israel "wins", they get to keep all that territory and move in all their settlers and they will celebrate and blah blah blah but end of the day the war is over, no more genocide, and a few million people can restart their lives in peace.

Of course it won't happen because people who want to fight for Palestine think it would be "giving up", it removes a lot of political hot buttons that various governments and entities use for their own goals and the idea of using Western money to "solve" genocide is very parochial and imperial and I'm sure a dozen other reasons but dumb me thinks the world is gonna end up spending way, way, way more money in the next decade and hundreds of thousands more civilians will die with no real solution that seems likely. Israel/USA won't allow an independent Palestinian state to exist, Israel has no intention to ever accept Palestinians as Israeli citizens.

User banned (duration pending): Blut und Boden

Which ever admin banned him for this gif is so out of touch with reality it's mind boggling.

One, it's a fucking joke.

Two, learn to read the fucking tea leaves.

The times we are living in are going to be viewed as a massive inflection point. We are all in for a tumultuous decade; whether it's class strife, technological disruption, global resource scarcity, climate issues, etc, all these things are coming home to roost all at once. But income inequality and "Luigi" vigilante attacks are probably the most direct example of this societal upheaval in action.

Era has made it nearly a decade so far, but if that gif was all it takes for a ban here, of one of the more active community members, there's no way this place is going to survive the next decade.

Aaah the bans for us regular folk letting off steam against people destroying the world. 🕊️

Right? Why do we have to maintain decorums but it is okay for fascists to call for the destruction of our society? Absolutely nonsense. What, are we going to hurt the rich dicks feelings?

Exactly. Also, this just plays right into MAGA ideology to be afraid to voice our discontent, even when it is done in a humorous way.

Mod that issued this ban is wearing clown shoes.

Yeah these bans feel obtuse. It's obviously in jest. The rich bigots are saying "fuck you, die" to all of us, but heaven forbid we have some morbid humor hoping they croak first

Make sure to be polite during the class war. Make sure to tip your executioner.

The state has a monopoly on violence, so even though poverty kills we have to suffer in silence.

I think the Left, or at least American Leftists, wants to be perceived as being polite and civil, even if the adversary is metaphorically stabbing them and threatening them, you should never attack or even raise your voice back, god forbid. Also don't help that when politicians try to be more aggressive, there's pearl clutching everytime.

Fuck that, be nice to those who are nice to you. Fuck those who wishes ill upon you. Niceness only goes to a civil adversary. That time has long past.

And yes, we shouldn't be banning people for obvious jokes. Especially a month.

Absolutely. Stop banning folks at the drop of a hat. Did DigitalOp's post receive a significant number of complaints?

The absolute fury I feel reading that, let alone reading it in a Twitter embed

100%

Don't mean to thread derail, but was Fat4all banned for something similar?

Agreed. All this ban is doing is hurting the community and effectively encouraging bending to the powers that be to appeal to their... good nature? ??

Why is it always the absolute worst members that these simp cunts go to bat for? 

DigitalOP and Fat4Cum are the some of the worst members and getting rid of them permanently would actually measurably improve the discourse.

ATTENTION: Some politics are discussed here but it's not JUST political, so please leave if you don't wanna interact, I wouldn't blame you tbh

Okay so I am going to start this off by saying I have this weird feeling. I cannot place it, it's not paranoia, it's not being scared. It's like some kinda detachment, it's so hard to put my finger on. I wanna rant for a second, it may not make total sense but I need to get it out.

So, like many of you I see the world as a terrifying place right now. I feel left out of a larger cultural zeitgeist that I was not aware of or have just not been part of. Maybe that's my own little bubble I have been in, but isn't everyone in their own bubbles these days?

I have this weird background feeling that I am being left behind in a lot of ways. One way are cultural norms, I feel like I am an outsider to what is a cultural norm nowadays (see modern media, movies, tv etc). I mostly consume my hobbies, lots of learning on YouTube. Lots of fact reading, stuff like that. I am not up to date on the latest fashions, cultural happenings and trends. I feel like I am an outsider for not frothing at the mouth over AI, what even is real at this point?

It feels like we are at some inflection point in society where "reality" feels more and more manufactured. I have a good foundation and ground for myself and a sturdy mental home, but I just feel like the world is "off" like I'm not in on some secret. Is anyone else feeling this?

I'm doing alright mentally, holding on. This last election kinda blindsided me. I feel like there are more out there that may empathize with this. Culture has blindsided me. I am okay not being trendy but I just feel like there is some background BS happening that just FEELS off.

I know that some of this has been self imposed by myself and my wife. We have created media boundaries, learned better habits with tech, we have a very very strong community around us and are friends with our neighbors etc. I'm not talking about that, I am talking more about SOMETHING that is happening socially and tech wise. It just feels like we are at a breaking point, something's gotta give.

Thanks for reading, like I said some things seem fucky to me and I can't quite put my finger on it.

Sounds like the dude just turned 30.

- I am 34 and about to turn 35.

What you're feeling friendo, is the slow realisation that the choices and behaviours of people like you and NepNep and Melody and Fat4Cum and kyujijigi and excelsheets the rest of the weirdo extreme left around the world have handed a second term to Trump with a majority in the house, senate and judiciary and the public mandate to just implement it all without any regard for anything your faction of the left says. 

In fact, resistance to Trump and his lunatic policies is so fucking low that you're likely to end up with President Vance as your next president and then the real fun will begin.

The Sulzburger family (owners of the far-right New York Times) only values all their assets at twice the value of Reddit.  

But it's only owned by that family unlike Reddit which is half owned by two multi-national conglomerates (Tencent and WBD), is this worse or better? Intersectionality is such a tough cookie to crack. 

[Potato]

Uhm, chuddie? It's important for the Palestine/Gaza thread and the Ukraine thread. They need to be able to go through old tweets from unverified sources.

I think I cracked the case. They need to keep old embedded tweets alive in old unused threads in case they need to go back and retrospectively ban people for wrongthink six months later.
