I am here to help build and support vibrant communities not controlled by Big Tech that help others solve problems, examine new ways of thinking and improve their quality of life.

Campaign finance laws
Not saying we shouldn’t donate to worthy causes, but if we’re going to call using free software without paying abuse, then there are many technology users to round up.
Google sometimes deplatforms people as well. Regardless of one’s politics, one can’t be positive it won’t happen to them should the winds change.
I’m missing the rage over the switch. I like GNOME.
If I were Elon I would respond with a “Challenge Accepted” and start floating balloons with access points.
Divide and conquer. One of the oldest tricks in the book.
Tribalism has a great place in finding us community and support. That having been said, we must never, EVER lose sight of what is right and what is wrong.
OK…but there were many witnesses and writings of him spread all over the region. That’s a lot of written accounts in many unknown places to edit.

What is the recommended on-ramp for someone with a CS degree and a networking background?
And this is why security and privacy practices are so important. It’s not important until it is.
Until MAGA isn’t the one. Until it’s somebody else, like a pro-Palestinian group or a gun control group.
Right is right and wrong is wrong.
It’s one of those things that’s OK until it isn’t.
We neocons, along with the DNC, lost our minds in the wake of 9/11. We’ve since reevaluated the implications of much of what we greenlit back then. Sadly, at this point it’s too little, too late.
That’s a shame, because that’s how freedom of speech functions. It’s also a great way to show the world the higher road one chooses to walk when their opponents refuse.
There’s a difference between thinking of something and doing it. Many leftists dream of punching conservatives in the face but only a few of them actually do. The ones who refrained do not rate punishment from the government over a thoughtcrime.
Please don’t play such behaviors off as if they’re exclusively exhibited by conservatives. There’s plenty of said behavior by those identifying as progressives as well.
Everyone is responsible for their own actions and behaviors. Cancelation happens both ways. Its occurrence or lack thereof can be influenced but ultimately not controlled by the subject person.
I’m glad we agree that win/win situations exist, that life isn’t a zero-sum game as George Carlin (tongue-in-cheek, I hope) suggests in “Free-Floating Hostility.”
Thank you for your respectful explanation.
I must point out, however, that those in the community the dissenter joins don’t necessarily change their views, either. If we’re going to hand out blame, then it’s a double-edged sword.
So wait til they start killing people openly before we identify their ideology as dangerous?
You illustrate my point. Whether or not an ideology is dangerous is besides the point.
You’re blocked
That’s how the left exercises “tolerance” towards those of opposing views. Again, you illustrate my point.
Sorry for the delay. Suffered another job loss a few months ago and had to work my second job like crazy. A couple accounts are in collections. I flew to see family in Japan, got another job and am looking at ways to boost my income and get ahead. No one’s going to do it for you.
