Ah shit. Didn’t know about that. Uninstalling. Is there an iOS browser that will hide my device fingerprint other than Brave?

Oh they will but in the same breath say how Biden and Harris would have been exactly the same if not worse.

Why do you think the government either controls the social media networks

I think you’ll find, in 2025, it’s social media that controls the government.

Yeah I got permabanned for supporting Luigi. Maybe a bit too enthusiastically but it is what it is. Every account I make now gets auto banned even if I use VPN.

I could probably get around it with a paid VPN and the Brave browser but I don’t really want to blow any money on getting to a shit community anyway. The only things I miss are my interest subs like pottery, landscaping, etc. The ones here are dead.

But enough CEOs are turning out to be asshats and people are fleeing for the fediverse so it may get more active and diverse here.

As it is, I don’t really mesh with the majority of lemmys and “wrongthink” is actively policed here. It will be nice when less terminally online people join and water down the extremists.

You never emulated it either?

Yeah no, I get that. I mean I can walk in and do what I want exactly once though.

That was my second mistake. My first was not blocking hexbear in the first place.

I’m learning that most of Lemmy has pretty thin skin. Lol.

Oh but it does. :)

Never said they didn’t. Unlike some, I don’t get bent out of shape when I get banned.

I may post and laugh about it though. And fuck no to moderating. Lmao. I have a life.

Ah also it seems you and others are confused. The 1:53 action was not my comment though I did approve of it.

I updated the post to give the full context.

The screenshot doesn’t have my comment in it hun.

Yeah I can see how that could be misleading. That was a comment from someone else that got removed (and what I was referring to when I said the rest of the modlog was pretty entertaining). I guess I should have cropped it but I thought it was funny too. As you can see that mod action happened two hours before my ban.

At the time I screenshotted they hadn’t removed my comment. I think they did now though.

The numbers quoted within the article do not matter as the fact that someone claiming genocide is more interesting news than people who do not. You can’t really use any news article quoting a handful of people you don’t know how they sampled to make a calculation on consensus.

Now you are looking for only works published within the last 15 days only (since that is how many days we’ve had in 2025 so far) and you claim you are not moving goal posts. Lol.

And you change your request for a third (fourth?) time claiming it was about the UN and Amnesty international. Lol. That was literally not part of your original request and this constant goal post moving is why I refused to engage with you in this futile exercise of you lifting the football every time I try to kick it.

Remember your original claim is that “EVERY expert agrees that a genocide is occurring", something I’ve already proven wrong several times at this point. Take the L and let me move on with my life. Goddamn.

Hell I don’t even think Israel is justified in the amount of damage they are causing, they are obviously committing war crimes, and Bibi should burn in hell. I just don’t think it’s a genocide.

If that means you have to stalk every thread I go to to alert people that I don’t agree with you that a genocide is happening then you my friend have too much time on your hands.

Genuinely curious here. What comment? As far as I saw the modlog didn’t show the comment I got banned for.

Full context: someone had posted a picture of the Obamas in a wine cellar and deriding them for being so bourgeois as to own a wine cellar.

I pointed out that this was them at a private event at a restaurant that has a wine cellar and not their own personal wine cellar. Everyone then freaked out that I was “defending the Obamas” and I got banned for Liberalism. Lol.

But hey you can make fun of them here. So it all works out in the end. Let them have their circlejerk where they can exist without having their views challenged. In reality (real reality, not the rest-of-lemmy reality which is just as skewed) literally nobody likes them and most people in their lives probably think they are insufferable.

You don’t get to claim moral superiority and do whatever you want regardless.

But see the thing is, I do in fact get to do that. They can ban me but I can still claim moral superiority. What do you think this whole community is about?

Meh. If you don’t have the freedom to be an asshole on the internet, what’s the point? Lol.

The fact that someone supports Israel in this conflict is likely what you’ll use as evidence that someone has “strong ties to Israel”.

Most claims of genocide come from people who have strong ties to Palestine or people linked to Palestine. Why does the same bar of evidence not apply to you?

https://time.com/6334409/is-whats-happening-gaza-genocide-experts/

There are several people referenced in this article not Israeli or tied to Israel that claim Israel’s actions don’t meet the criteria of genocide. As I recall your request was that I provide just one. Now I’ll wait as you claim that these experts are actually just Israel shills and they should thus be disregarded.

You stated that “EVERY reputable expert” says Israel is committing genocide literally using a source that was TITLED “experts deeply divided on whether or not Israel is committing genocide”.

Then you said that you would only accept experts as “reputable” if they didn’t support Israel in the conflict. Lol.

I deny a genocide when there literally isn’t a genocide bruh. Using it for every conflict waters down the term to basically mean nothing.

I couldn’t respond to you anyway (not that I was going to) since I got banned for breaking the cardinal lemmy rule that you have to hate Jews to post here.
