cut the nose off to spite the face

the silver lining is that this will hopefully create more of an incentive to create more alt-tech solutions, decentralized hosting, payment processors alternative currencies etc

That's concerning. As long as I get my 2 orders from Daniel Denfense, I'm square for now. Better not start shutting down existing orders.

yeah paypal is known for deplatforming people

well more, succumbing to twitter mobs

thats what i dont get about these twitter mobs attacking advertisers

like... they obviously arent your target market so why the fuck do they care?

I feel like I'm missing something. There must be more to the story.

but, part of the google adsense monopoly

im speaking in general its been done to multiple sites

gab got hit hard

because in the beginning the only people who really used nonmoderation sites were super edgelords

the same for bitchute too i believe

they popped up around the youtube adbpocalypse

I think I'm going to ignore this deplatforming stuff for a few days. It seems too fantastical.

been going on for years

very simple, internet activists cherry pick a few comments, attribute it to the entire community/site, demand it get taken down, if the website doesnt remove the community (or is the whole community) they go after advertisers, then they get their buzzfeed journo friends to label it a hate site, etc

very predictable pattern

basically exactly what happened with parler, but on a very accelerated timeline

if you want an encrypted and gtg messenger i'd recommend signal

i've met moxie marlinspike the guy is a zealot about a free internet

i hate when i see people typing for 5 minutes then they stop

giving me internet blue balls

We still pretending that antifa was responsible for the capitol riot

@james j, you just advanced to level 45!

Rwm can’t enough of the one guy they keep showing

@JD~Jordan "In fact, the majority of the people in this group are Pro Trump but Anti Cop." Um who put you in such a position to make such a statement of fact? Think a bit more what you post in the future as fact. I doubt it is true but would never say that is a fact. The fact is we can't really reliably know if this is true or not.

It was all him guys

you can be anti police brutality without being anti cop

Cmon it wasn’t all the other Trump supporters

@james j why are you howling at the moon?

When our local police are asked about lockdowns and covid stuff they respond "We do have a constitution."

@ImNotGas I’m just asking

@ImNotGas what do you think the chances are that @james j actually a rabid omega wolf troll?

@Kaptain Tailhook i thought that before, but i honestly think that he believes everything that comes out of his mouth

*fingers

@Erusia, you just advanced to level 1!
