          Ahh, so you aren’t American. So do you think it’s cool just to go judging other countries that you don’t really know anything about?

          So would it be cool for me to start judging you and your country, even tho I don’t live there? No, it wouldn’t.

          You’ve implied in your other posts that I may be a troll, yet here you are commenting on my posts and you’re not even American.

          I mean, it sounds like you are being pretty trollish, friend.

          Thanks, Amiko!

      Well, you surely don’t have to.

      But I like the Daily Mail; it’s not illegal, it’s not even radical, it’s more honest about it’s reporting than many US sites, it’s a very popular site, and I think it’s awesome.

      But you are free not to use it and I 100 percent support and respect our differences of opinion on the matter.

      But I’ll keep using it.

      Thanks, amiko!

        If you don’t think there are any problems with The Daily Mail, then I suggest you read a bit more about it.

        I won’t use it, but I will downvote any submission without question, as it is considered a poor source.

          And that’s totally your right. I respect your decision, even tho I disagree with it.

          Thanks, amiko!

            and I respect yours also. I hope you can consider the bias/balance of the sources you use. Best of luck with all.

      I didn’t even notice, I thought it was just one person who was really upset that an ex-president exists

        I’m not upset that an ex-president exists or upset that anyone exists.

        That’s really odd thing for you to say. Are you doing ok?

        I’m glad you’re here, friend. Thanks!

          You keep posting these “biden bad because I repeat myself a lot” articles. Which suggest to me this may be an emotional thing, especially give the emotional titles.

          Or you’re a troll :/ or something

            I don’t actually write the titles though. I just use the titles of the article as it is posted on their website. So not emotional at all to me.

            Which makes me the opposite of a troll since I’m transparent.

            If you have a problem with the titles and/or the articles, please don’t hesitate to write to the authors/publishers/news orgs that created the articles.

            Dude, it’s just a news article posted to Lemmy. Calm down. It ain’t that serious. lol

            Thanks, amiko!

      You probably aren’t familiar with my saga, but here’s a quick rundown. Before the election, I refused to support either Biden/Harris or Trump. I advocated for third-party candidates. It seems silly now, but just a couple of months ago, that was a HUGE no-no on Lemmy.

      People started calling me a bot, a nazi, a nazi-progammed bot(!), a Russian troll. Some even created elaborate stories about me living in Russia and getting paid in rubles to post on Lemmy. It was crazy. LMAO

      After hundreds of complaints about me and being mad that I was still around, one guy even wrote a program to track me and offered it to other people to track me on Lemmy (Hi @[email protected] https://lemm.ee/u/pooperNickel). He was, and still is, really really mad about me not voting for Harris.

      Eventually, they banned me from the .world instance, and then made a post celebrating my “demise.” On top of that, people took over the communities I founded and deleted all my posts. With great glee! lol

      Later when asked about why I was banned, admins accused me of “harassing” DM’s but, mysteriously when I ask for proof of these, the people in charge just say “It’s private–we can’t show you.”

      I say just show those to all of Lemmy and hide the identity of the receiver, and at least show us what I said that was so bad or what they consider “harassing”.

      The real reason they don’t show proof? There is none. Because I never sent harrassing emails. LMAO

      But the beauty of the fediverse is its freedom. I moved to other instances, ones less censor-heavy, but many followed me there too, trying to get me banned again.

      To avoid losing all my communities at once, I diversified and spread my name across multiple instances, so they can’t silence me with one action.

      I know this sounds exaggerated, but it’s not. Just last week, a new thread was started to ban me again. Here are the links to the main threads:

      https://sh.itjust.works/post/31017252

      https://sh.itjust.works/post/26969318

      Luckily the admins took my side, saw the witchhunter-ry aspect of continually tracking me instead of just blocking me, and stood up for me.

      But since I have such a passionate “Hate and Destroy Monk” following, I have to keep things spread out.

      Actually, I’m a very boring guy born and raised here in the US. I’ve never even been out of the country. Was a teacher assistant in a middle school until I retired last month. :)

      So thank the .world community for inspiring me to be EVERYWHERE now. They should have just ignored me. lol

      Pics in case my links don’t work. Just do a search for the titles in your search bar and it will bring them up to:

          You seem like a super friendly and easygoing guy. Thanks for jumping in.

          But I’m not playing victim. I’m playing victory.

          See, I fucking won.

          No one stopped me. No one changed my mind. And I’m still here. Posting what I want, where I want.

          U mad, brah?

    How funny! That’s how I think of the leftists. I can’t even think of the name of the candidate that they got onto my ballot.
