Been using this handle on the internet since 1993. I'm the real, original Syun.
Here because it's still the 80s in my brain.
I've degoogled and life is sweet.
Me too! Yesterday was my first day here, and Nicole was the last thing I got before I went to bed.
Please do. It was a good idea for the US to ban TikTok due to Chinese security law, and of course the worst man on earth granted it a reprieve.
Also, when are you guys going to denaturalize Musk? He cheated on his US citizenship, so I hold out a shred of hope that after his rampage is ended and it all wraps up, we'll revoke his citizenship as fraudulent and he'll have to return to a failed state that's following in Robert Mugabe's anti-white race war footsteps. Can't think of a better place on this earth for a Nazi to belong to.
Well, an unpaid job that involves exercising power over others is always going to attract insufferable, self-important people. It's why I say they're the same people who run HOAs. Just petty little power trippers. I mean, if it ever gets bad, one can always start one's own instance, make competing subs, and make them off limits to the offending mods. Odds are good they'd be driving the members away as it is.
Hehe, I actually joined my instance in no small part due to it already having taken anti tankie countermeasures. Don't need those people buzzing around like horseflies, I had a tankie father and my patience for that shit is basically zero.
Thanks for the recommends, neighbor!
Yeah, I've gone through and did a bunch of subscribing and a little bit of blocking a handful of instances I know will flood my feed with stuff I find creepy. I actually spent a couple days deciding on the right instance to join. I'm looking forward to more people showing up, and it's nice that everyone I've interacted with so far has been pretty chill.
Well, I assume a lot more people are gonna be showing up any minute now.
I just got a ban for "encouraging violence". Someone asked "what will you do to celebrate when he dies?" Someone else started talking about how they have a fantasy about getting the death note and how they'd put that to use. I chimed in with my silly fantasy of using a seance to end politicians' careers by getting them possessed by the ghost of GG Allin, and enjoying the mayhem that would ensue.
So, anyway, right after that, I found out that all the people who were so transgressive to have actually liked that comment of mine can, as of a couple days ago, expect punishment as well. How draconian.
And so that was that. No sense in being lorded over on the internet by the same people who run HOAs. It'll be fun watching Reddit flush itself down the toilet from over here, I expect.
Of course it will.
I have to wonder if it's at all coincidental that this comes at the same time as the Crypto Reserve announcement. A few years back, Putin legalized money laundering in Russia with the introduction of an electronic ruble, and a 25% tax on e-ruble conversions to regular rubles when provenance of the e-ruble's source is not provided. An easy way to hide illegal transactions, and a nice cut for the state so Putin can take it for himself.
A sex abuser who's going above and beyond the rest of his party by doing the bare minimum? No, there should be no rallying around that.
