I think he wants it removed because of the effect on Tesla. He’d prefer if he could do things without consequences for his actions.

Are you saying that the Verge is not a news website? Because I’m pretty sure that the removed post was a link to a perfectly good article.
Fair. Well now you’ve got confirmation, lol.
My Lemmy suggestions only got shadowbanned so far. Have they moved on to more radical action?
Honestly that is something I’ve always been ok with on Kickstarter. But it’s 50% scams now of people who never intended to deliver anything in the first place and Kickstarter is taking a lot of steps to protect the scammers in this. The only reason I ever back anything on there anymore is because of campaigns by companies I trust will at least try. I trust Pebble will try, so I personally am very tempted.
Wish I could take credit. I’ve seen it around and it just fits perfectly when it comes to all those tech bro’s and the way they are acting in relation to politics and power. It’s now just part of my vocabulary.
I love Pixelfed specifically because of the artsy, visual inspiration. I dearly miss browsing through my instragram feed and getting incredibly inspired by seeing people create amazing and beautiful things, including using techniques and crafts I had never even heard of before.
Pixelfed is starting to kind of be that for me, but Reddit did some of that too. Some of the most niche crafts even had their own subreddits. I just want to be able to be inspired by my social media feed again - ideally without algorithms aiming to get me stuck there. And without the broligarchy threatening to take it away at any moment.
Sure, but I still suspect that we’ll get a large influx of crafters and other artists that will be visible in Lemmy directly. Still very much excited
This is absolutely perfect! The crowd I am following on Pixelfed is pretty much exactly what I am still partially missing on Lemmy. So excited about this. Thanks for sharing!
Sounds exactly like my experience going through the shadowbanned comments. I understood a few of them (like my recent comments suggesting Lemmy). But others were exactly like what you described. They were comments I spent an hour mulling over at times to get them just right with the right nuance and resources. So sorry that this was happening to you too.
Btw, for anyone mistrusting this tool, logging out and viewing things as public or from an incognito browser window should show the shadow banned comments as “removed”. Obviously difficult to do for large scales, but that’s why there’s a tool I guess.
I tried setting up a dual boot Mint next to my Win 11 last night. Just so I can experiment with getting all the (replacement) programs of my Win 11 install to work on there… froze during install and was busy for hours getting my boot files for Win 11 back.
I’m not a technical genius or anything and now I’m scared to try again. I assume it’s way easier if I would just rip the bandaid off and do it in one go. Sadly too much relies on me still being able to use the computer close to the way I could before. Ah well. Another day, another chance to nuke the boot files.
