I was kind of surprised to find so many that were banned and denied even their appeals. I chose not to appeal because it was obviously they were power addled assholes.

I don’t know if I was part of any major purge or not… I had some temp bans from a bot and then finally a permanent one, just expressing a wish for some blood clot to break free. I mean, it was way less expressive than other posts but I was marked for exit due to violence?!. I felt sad. I deleted an account, made another and then got re-banned within 24 hrs for no specific post, just for trying to overcome the ban… then I did a bit of research and honestly decided they suck, I don’t need them and life offers better platforms. I hate this current internet shitification level though. The way I was treated… well, I kind of understand why people decide to be trolls as a lifestyle behavior. I am not a troll though… just a bit rowdy and irreverent.

I can’t comment there anymore. However, now and then I check posts/comments that seem interesting to read but perhaps the subreddits I check are different than yours. Also… the GenZ influence is staggering. I miss the old internet where people just developed a thick skin and still engaged. But then, I am old.

It was at least kinder, humorous and creative. The National Enquirer which is packed with made up stuff designed to hurt and exploit people.

We have all been “convinced” to carry tracking devices with us everywhere we go. Way cheaper than a brain implant.

The CRISPR technology is more advanced than brain implants.

Like “Unauthorized Toast”… with all the DRM laws, we could get arrested and charged with a felony for trying to repair ourselves.

Not “The Matrix” – we will just serve as batteries for someone’s AI or Crypto farm while having/living in lucid dreams?

I am siding with the zombies in that apocalypse.

Technology and social media are entirely under regulated with basically no privacy restrictions. Look what DOGE has done to the entire American Federal agencies… “Read-Only”-- As If. They just pirated all our information.

Like everything else, it will be come enshittified and we will be living in the Johnny Mneumonic world.

The billionaires today have an opportunity to eliminate world hunger yet they don’t. Instead, they fly rocketships, sail on giant yachts and buy island compounds or towns in Texas. So yeah, No one at that RB club is going to win a Nobel Peace Prize. They all suck.

I wonder how often you have to back up in case you need a reboot.
