So I’ve tried Mastodon, Pixelfed and didn’t like them. Mastodon is nice if you wanna ”tweet”, but that’s not for me. Pixelfed was dead.
I quit Meta because of tech bro fascism, and hated Twitter even before it was X because, let’s face it - nobody has ever changed their opinion on anything because of a Twitter conversation (I know I’m exaggerating, to get my point across). I was in Reddit for a few weeks, and the conversations there seem mostly friendly and constructive, but I decided I don’t want to have anything to do with social media corporations. Besides, I noticed I could scroll endlessly. And that’s not good for me.
Lemmy seems nice. There are still some topics I’m interested in that don’t have active communities, and I’m still learning on how to have my feed from multiple instances. But still, this is the way to go for me.
Against algorithms, against fascism, for free internet. Thanks for coming to my boring Ted talk and have a nice day.
And you're eager to jettison them.
Hahahaha, I'm not the islamic state.
Do you have to be?
Meaning, I don't push gays off a building.

Well, yeah. You have to deny them representation first. You have to build to pushing them off of buildings.
Invite all of IS in your country, they'll show you that those things really aren't necessary. You just need people wanting to do it.
Why do you keep trying to pivot to talking about IS?
Not to mention it's going to be common knowledge in 20 years from now that IS was designed by you know who to fuel Islamophobia.
By Voldemort?
Because I find it amusing that you're talking about a pro LGBTQ country as if they are IS.
Maybe you should be the one talking about IS if you care about LGBTQ
In Europe we have lots of refugees that are LGBTQ because they'd be suffering great consequences in their home country. Those people aren't from the US.
Yet.
Then they are welcome, easy to integrate them. They speak a language we speak. Hell, it has never been as easy as now. Thanks to English being spoken by a billion people now.
At least the ones that can make it out in time. And it's neat how blase you are about it.
It's never good enough for you, is it
You're living in a country with 560k USD mean wealth. Which fuels your tax revenue. Through hoarding assets that come from around the world.
And here, you're just complaining complaining complaining
You'd be a great Belgian
Wanna come here? We tax fund trans surgeries ☺️☺️☺️
Contentment got us trump both times. It's good enough for you, I'm certain.
Well yes, I made money on trump. But that's just me
Trump's great for Europe. Just.. bad for you
Btw, you got trump twice because you're polarised. Half the country hates your guts
Be a big boy, learn to compromise
Yes, the only reason we got trump is because democrats didn't capitulate enough.
Aye, the solution to polarisation is being even more polarised. Didn't work the first two times, third time the charm
You would have preferred harris run even further to the right?
Or are you trolling here too?
Oh, so who did you vote for?
Go away, troll.
👀 so you didn't vote for the liberal and now are stuck with the most extreme republican as a result.
Absolutely hilarious
I voted harris. No liberal was running. Just conservatives.
Go away, troll.
Then why would she need to be more left wing? If she already had the left vote. Then it would be smart of her to go more right wing, right?
Tsk tsk, your country really is all about trump uh. Even a right winger couldn't seduce them.
How far to the right did you want her to go? How many more genocides would it take? Maybe you would prefer if she campaigned on lopping off children's hands for not producing enough rubber?
Go away, troll.
Enough to get a majority vote?
Nah I'm fine with trump. I'm not American
I know. Your country has a proud history of being happy with atrocities elsewhere as long as you're comfortable.
You typify it. Go away troll.

It's good that china is taking over the abuse in the 21st century 🌝
Who needs history, when you have the present
Whataboutism. The Gaza genocide wasn't enough for you.
Do you enjoy watching Chinese business owners man handle African wagies?
Does it fuel your han supremacy desires?
Gaza sucks, we should punish Israel like Russia.
What should happen with chinese man handling Africans? Do you know how Africans are portrayed in china? Or even elsewhere in Asia? My indonesian mother in law literally says the full Spanish word of black when referring to Africans. It's quite normal there
Have you seen a lot of immigrants from Africa in Asia? I haven't. Honestly I haven't seen a single African in Asia the entire time I've been there
I get that you want to talk about anything but how your country committed atrocities and how your positions represent a continuation of same, but no.
I am not going to indulge your whataboutism. harris didn't support the genocide in gaza hard enough for your liking. You've spent this entire thread saying she wasn't far enough to the right for you and I sincerely wonder if trump is far enough to the right for you either.
Now try desperately to steer the conversation to a country you think is worse than yours. Well, congratulations on being second worst to China. You must be so fucking proud. If they were a majority white country, you would support 100% of their atrocities and clamor for more.
So many countries are worse than mine. Oh boi, do you know how bored I am hearing about free state Congo and Belgian Congo? It's just people wikipedia'ing it while I had it in my history classes.
Aight let's see 1885 to 1908. Whoopsie. Free state Congo. Literally ran like a company without any human rights whatsoever. No information of atrocities are leaving the country. 10 million Congolese died. Leopold II even hated the maiming, not because of his kind heart, but because they couldn't work without hands.
Then 1909 to 1960 Belgian Congo.
At the peak of colonisation 10 to 20% of Belgian GDP depended on the Congo. A lot of development happened but it was all in order to extract resources.
1979... Whoopdiedaisie, they really did not succeed in having stability. Their purchasing power decreased to not even 10% of what it was in 1960.
Now it's China's turn.
Buddy, my child is half Asian. My wife looks Chinese according to people from her own country. She probably has Han DNA.
I don't give a fuck.
I only talk about china because most people on this platform view China as the shining hope. That can do no wrong.
If you dislike china, then I'll start talking good about china 🤣
This really just is a game to me isn't it
And so many more would be, but your country contains you.
I found that telling you my positions on anything just gives you something to troll with, but it turns out that my positions don't matter to you since you're just trolling. Like so:
Well, that's because you're a troll.
I prefer the term ragebaiter 😡
