Is this platform the best alternative?
I genuinely miss having discussions with Maga people. Even though the conversations are rarely productive, I still have hope that my comments will sometimes give that person (or a Maga lurker) some food for thought that could potentially get the ball rolling for them to eventually find rationality and basic decency.
However, I haven’t found any places to have those types of civil conversations on here.
Please tell me more about the daily new account strategy. I’ve been permabanned (my email address and IP address) for unintentionally accessing a subreddit with one account that another account had been temporarily banned from.
With a brand new account, I figure you are automatically shadowbanned or at least in most subreddits. Also, aren’t there quite a few subreddits who simply don’t let you participate until your Reddit quality score is high enough?
This measured response feels much healthier than my/our kneejerk reactions. Any prosecutor is going to seek information that would help their case, and they expect the Court to simply say No when it isn’t compatible with the law. It sucks that this Trump admin and retributive DOJ have such an anti-American track record that our initial instinct is that every move is another attempt to suppress criticism (which it likely would be if they had any scintilla of competence to go with their thirst for fascism).
Suppression of anything critical of Trump and the other snowflakes is the goal. Oppression is their favorite tool, but they’ll settle for intimidation which still ends up being effective even when our institutions uphold the Constitution.
I finally left just a couple weeks ago. Seeing and hearing about entire accounts being banned after simple peaceful criticism of political leaders showed me that they use poorly programmed algorithms to issue bans and also confirm them on appeals without any reasonable human elements. It also seemed like some accounts would get perma-banned by simply complaining about this process.
And, when mainstream media periodically interviews republican congressmen who happen to be opposed to the Trump admin’s latest corruption/idiocy, why the hell do they never ask “Since you’re against these illegal/irresponsible actions… what the flying F are you gonna do about it?”
