Man goes to the doctor.
He says “Doctor, I am miserable. I have been banned from one of my favourite Lemmy instances for no good reason.”
Doctor says “Treatment is simple. db0 runs a community for disputing wrongful bans. Go argue with strangers. That should pick you up.”
“But, Doctor…” says the man, “I was banned by db0.”
You're very lucky to be able to work 40 kilometers from where you live. Nobody in the history of the world until about a hundred years ago could do something so ostentatious. The way people of 200 years ago would see your life, is the way you and I see billionaires flying across the country on a private jet every day to commute to work.
Absolutely correct, comrade. And what happened? We leftists told everyone Kamala is evil, and the people listened to us and didn't vote Democrat. We got Trump into the white house. And then the Democrats realised that they need to appeal to the left to win next time. So they've cleaned up their act and taken genocide off the agenda. And now they're actually stopping Trump's fascism. He'll be impeached any day now!
Not if they didn't remove any comments

That's too hard for the average Lemmy user. They need a mod to tell them what to think instead of reading comments.
Luigi would be a hero if he were the guy who did it
Luigi wouldn't hurt a fly.
Nah, mods can just lie in the modlog. Verify that shit, don't listen to someone just because they're an authority.
Unless they're a .ml admin. The admins of lemmy.ml are always perfect.
You can block tiktok's domains at the router DNS level. At least then they can't watch it on the home wifi.
We have taken parents rights away to allow children to make decisions on their gender and name changes, yet we expect parent to be responsible for their actions like accessing porn.
That's not a contradiction. Gender and name are about who the child is. Porn is about who the child wants to imagine having sex with. One of them, 99% of children are perfectly capable of making a good decision on. One of them can potentially be traumatising, and certainly isn't absolutely necessary for a good life and healthy development.
That said, it's not the government's job to control it. An "I am 18" button and a lesson in health class are enough.
If porn sites must be legislated, here's a better way: force them to display information to users on unrealistic depictions, the dangers of underage sex, and counselling resources.
I'm a proud Marxist-Leninist! I personally believe that using tanks to suppress the Hungarian Revolution was justified, because anyone who disagrees with Stalin on how to achieve communism is a Nazi. And if you want to see the benefits of the marxist-leninist ideology, all you have to do is look at Joe Biden's recent outspoken support for a worker owned state.
