I’m not going to express any racist opinions, not now, not ever. It’s not about that.

People should be allowed to say what they want as long as it’s not illegal. If you don’t like what they’re saying, you don’t have to look at it.

The average person also doesn’t care about their own right to free speech or their right to bodily autonomy or agency over their own lives.

There’s people out there that jumped at the chance to have an ID chip put under their skin and to have a QR code associated with all their identity info.

People don’t realize the threat of centralized supreme authority that’s accountable to no one. And it’s really sad.

I get downvoted for being in favor of free speech, because I bring up free speech rights whenever someone says something bigoted. If you don’t support the free speech rights of the people you hate the most then you’re against free speech. Censoring a bigot is only going to make them double down on their beliefs. But reaching out and having a civil conversation with a bigot can make them realize that the people they hate are going through the same problems they are.

Everyone gets fucked on their taxes, everyone is getting a lower wage than what their employer could give, everyone is paying more rent than they should, everyone is paying a higher interest on their debts than they should.

I used the same username.

I’m already on several instances, I just wanted to know if there was another one worth joining

How do I see which lemmy instance has the most users?

Facebook sucks, there’s nothing but dumb boomers on there now. And the amount of data they harvest from their users is insane. If they think you’re a bot, they’ll demand to see your government issued ID or your SSN to “verify” you and totally not to get deeper insight into who you are and how to sell shit to you.

I agree, but I’m still on Reddit.
