Pro, but in a much more direct fashion that exists currently. I do believe that not participating in elections leads to worse outcomes, and that unless you want to have a bloody revolution , which I and the overwhelming majority of people do not want, then democracy is really the only path forward.

A gold plated statue is really on the nose for this con artist.

U wot m8?

The only drama I am aware of recently was a piefed admin blocking some smaller anarchist instances, but it stirred up a shit storm and they reversed it. Not sure if that is the drama in question.

Who could have seen this coming?? Oh wait, anyone with a brain.

What part of what I said implies that I want bots to take the place of humans on social networks? What a very strange conclusion to jump to. I just think that AI has some useful applications.

People have different opinions on AI, not everyone is vehemently opposed, and some view it as useful if used on the appropriate configuration.

We really need an alternative to Lemmy and piefed for the threadiverse. I say this as a leftist. People are not children who need child locks put on their internet. This is not the type of environment I joined the fediverse to be a part of, that censors links just because the server admin disagrees with the politics.

How is ita false equivalence to say that animal rights matter? Do sentient beings deserve to be eaten by us, simply because we have consciously decided that we want to be at the top of the food chain? Should you continue to have the highest emissions from your diet, simply because you’re “at the top” of some hypothetical food chain you have no part in executing yourself?

I get that some people need to eat animal products for health reasons, but if your entire reason is “I am an apex predator” (which you’re not, btw), then I don’t see why you shouldn’t be called out for that mentality, which is promoting a view of the world that is pretty exploitative of other living beings and environmentally damaging to boot.

Yes, right after working families goes bankrupt because they can’t afford to go to their job.

There is a difference between bottling up your emotions and realizing mid sentence that you are not making sense or saying anything that anyone cares about and wishing you had not started talking at all.

I was considering a fair phone, but that announcement has me waiting.

They remade Riven, and it got a sequel, Obduction.

I heard this spoken in his voice from south park, like the “it’s a plane” dude.

Gotcha. Well hope I set you on the right track at least, not sure what else I can do to troubleshoot. At least p.piefed.social works, so that’s good.

I recommend trying a smaller instance on piefed, it is better than Lemmy in a number of ways.

I don’t consciously remember making it, but I might have made it in the troubleshooting phase. In any case, still doesn’t explain why I cannot login with any credentials at piefed.social. I am able to login to p.piefed.social, but those exact saved login credentials do not work on piefed.social.

When I click that I get a blank website that says not found, so I am not sure where in the user list you saw that. Unless I just can’t see it because it’s banned. I do not recall consciously making another username after I was banned, unless I had done that to try to see if it was an IP ban.
