Hasn’t the pig suffered enough? lol

Great film!

Ok, thanks! What’s ernest’s magazine called? I’ll definitely subscribe to that, and keep an eye on the bug report.

prevent microblogs from federating to a magazine

I didn’t even know this was a thing, but definitely sounds like it needs looking in to as well.

Thanks for this info, I guess it’s good to know it’s on the to do list, but I completely agree, since realising this my motivation to post, knowing my moderation doesn’t have any effect on a large chunk of users, has dropped significantly…

Is there a place to check for updates on this, is the post you shared it?

Thanks for explaining, but wow, that’s really unfortunate and seems like something that needs addressing, especially since they’re the biggest instance.
I thought the whole point was to have the freedom to associate and disassociate with the content of our choosing?

Is there a way to know if/when this is fixed? Because I honestly don’t feel comfortable posting the content I do to my target audience if I can’t properly keep the trash out.

Same here, I hate it so much.

Yeah, which is one reason poor and disabled people are still marginalised and excluded, funny how that works, eh?

I’m more inclined to think they don’t admit it mostly to avoid consequences, legal or otherwise.

To others - probably, I was thinking more to themselves.

Anyway, hope you have nice day/night wherever you are, I’m off to have a very late supper.

knowing exactly what one is and seeing it as right or wrong aren’t always a pair.

I think that’s a good summation of the point I was trying to make, and I agree with the rest too (as for the reasons they won’t admit it - probably good ol conative dissonance, so back to the difference between knowing something is wrong, and acknowledging it), though I try to avoid naming any disorders since I’m not qulified to.

And thank you, too, it’s a really interesing topic that I’m not sure even the experts know the whole answers to (if they did, you’d hope we wouldn’t still be dealing with such abusers and exploiters), the human brain is a hell of a drug lol

We’ll never know I guess, you do give them more credit for seeing what they do as wrong, than I do though…

Not saying any of that is ok in any way, or that they’re right, but none of it means that they would ever acknowledge themselves as evil. You and I seeing them for what they are doesn’t mean they ever will (mostly because they don’t see the people they oppress as fellow humans).
Do you really think Hubbard or the pope would ever hang a quote that condemns them and their respective churches to hell for their exploits on their wall?

I honestly don’t know that they are, not to the point where they would consider themselves evil, or even as causing misery to anyone, these kinds of people get high on the smell of their own farts, and almost certainly see themselves as redeemers of some sort, it’s all about feeding their ego.

TIL
Unfortunately it’s not in the best company by the looks of it

If only, but that would require levels of self awareness (never mind empathy for those they fuck over) which they could never possess…

Lmfao way to miss the point

Lmfao, you not being comfortable with the reality (or only using a single exception to the rule, talk about lacking nuance) doesn’t make it any less real, but you’re clearly not here to learn or improve so feel free to fuck off…

There is good reason we say fascism is capitalism in decay.
Which is why we need to abolish it completely

Well said

Racism is systematic and rooted in literally every aspect of life, trying to exclude yourself is what’s ridiculous.
Fuck off with this bullshit
