let us jack off to the weird shit we want to jack off too
That's been grounds for defederating some Lemmy instances in the past.

(Ignore the name, they mean anti-neozionists and are willing to shame Jews who protest against Israels actions as well, they even have a tag for them)
An ideology declaring itself to be the representation of a demographic and accusing members of that demographic who don't believe what they are supposed to (aka in line with the ideology) of hating themselves?
What do they call it, internalized antisemitism?
Basically every other ideology that considers itself to be representing some demographic does basically the same thing.
Trump/Musk (they’re joined at the hip AFAIC, except Trump is definately the bottom, despite his diaper issues)
Didn't Musk's son tell Trump he wasn't the real president? You know the one who started showing up publicly right after the Luigi thing, who we should probably just nickname Kevlar?
Now I’m hearing that they are banning people for UPVOTES!
Only upvotes involving Mario's brother, so far. Presumably the "issue" being that he has too much support and the time between posting and it being moderated away it's getting enough votes to still have significant visibility which is what they're trying to avoid.
The great part about federation is that there isn't a central control, and so they can in fact have their own instances, and either your instance can block their instance or you as a user can block their instance and you never have to see them or deal with them.
When it comes to controversial subs, the general rule is if you have really dedicated mods who are super careful to never break a rule themselves you can generally keep it up.
Those mods not breaking any rules individually is important because otherwise the admins will invoke their backup plan for dealing with a sub they don't like but isn't breaking any rules - keeping the mods under a microscope and looking for any excuse to ban them and immediately ban the sub for being unmoderated, refuse to give it to new mods, and ban any replacement sub for recreating a banned sub.
They could just ban the sub because they don't like it, but that kind of seeming capriciousness tends to get a bad reaction from the userbase, which is why they look for an excuse to justify the ban.
Not quite. KiwiFarms is older than 8Chan. KiwiFarms was originally called CWCki and was dedicated specifically to Chris-chan because Encyclopedia Dramatica wasn't quite what some of that person's harassers wanted it to be. 8chan wouldn't open for another 8 months after CWCki was founded but before it was renamed KiwiFarms.
Let's be clear here - Chris-chan has been systematically harassed for literal decades, has a bunch of problems at least some of which are consequences of that. Chris-chan is also probably the single most documented human being in history as a consequence of the massive and dedicated "fan" base.
Pretty sure there's at least one quote of Davis himself using the n-word to refer to federal agents before describing how bright they glow..
Generally ad companies want to sell space to the highest bidder that won't cost them more money than they'd make. They only bow to foreign Nazis when foreign Nazis are the most efficient way to make money, and that is more about bowing to money than bowing to Nazis.
You can never trust a salesman. And ad people are salesmen selling you buying stuff from other people. Politicians are salesmen selling that they should be in charge of you.
Hey now, biology is pretty definitively open source. Every generation produces small patches of varying quality (mutations) and for most organisms the source is freely distributed to create new builds (reproduction). I mean if no one is downloading your genetic repo that's largely a you problem (natural selection) not a biology problem.
