Ive just started arbitrarily blocking every single account I see post "so I asked chatGPT, and it said...". In any context.
100% of them. No exceptions. These arent people from the culture I am from, and they arent serious about life on earth.

@aral "just like how it is in china" lmao sinophobic white imbeciles the world 'round.
Meanwhile the only country on earth qualified as a "tankie" nation is the US, who have been using armored vehicles and tanks against peaceful protestors since tanks and armored vehicles have existed. 😆
If a nation/state is going to have my data, Im going to wager that nations that have NOT terrorized the world for 100+ years for PROFIT are better off with it.
@aral hey cool now do one for Detroit. They were in the last bubble. Food for thought. (There are millions of workers who live there who are not rich)
Between Russia and Ukraine, the US is openly conducting a proxy war is Russia using Ukrainian blood.
Between "Israel" and Palestine, the US is openly conducting a proxy genocide.
What do I mean?
-Israel cannot wage war against Palestine (or anyone) without the US. In their own words and ours.
-genocidal Joe Biden is *rushing* $20 billion to the Israelis to enhance and broaden their wars. Plural, now.
These are the US's wars. #generalaction now!
@neckspike @silver_huskey @majorlinux if you expect assumptions about everything that benefits your position, and refuse to provide even one fucking link to one fucking thread where all the hidden racism is, I am beginning to suspect you arent authentic.
@silver_huskey @majorlinux 30+ year tech worker, an I know mastodon very well. Its tiring explaining this to people, but this is my life lol.
I know how to access almost any masto instance, yes, which is whI was interested in th8e instances seeing waves of bullshit. I literally want to try to engage and fight fascists, as Ive been doing offline and online for decades of my life. I want to protect masto.
@silver_huskey @majorlinux speaking of believing people -- you are saying I must believe you even though there isnt any evidence of anything (its all private, hidden, deleted), and so therefore I should agree that mastodon is shit and racist without actually verifying that myself even though this SPECIFICALLY helps facebook and fascist twitter companies claw back users? Huh.
@majorlinux @silver_huskey weird. Why would they attack you, randomly like that? I mean I am very promiscuous, I run a blog, and Ive been a pretty aggressive antifascist and leftist voice online forever. Where are my attackers? lol why arent I getting hate DMs? This is my original account.
@majorlinux @silver_huskey this is worse for you than any racist interaction? Wow... ok... I think I see what Im dealing with here.
@silver_huskey @majorlinux understood. That may be true, but Im always looking for it -- I have numerous accounts and have no trouble accessing content on almost any instance.
So you are saying most of the hate speech and personal attacks are done privately, through DMs, and that's why nobody sees it?
Yeah I follow a few people who discuss leftist ideologies, which is what "anti black racism" is included within. Would love to see the threads with the actual racism in it so that I can engage.
@silver_huskey @majorlinux yeah, this. Im nb, a writer, tech worker, hard leftist, and I keep hearing (but not really seeing) this. Ive heard this identical thing for 8 years now, on and off, since the first large migration of users began, which threatened the large corporate networks who want ALL the data to train their "AI" with. That's right around the time when the "its too hard" and "its filled with racism" people showed up.
@silver_huskey @majorlinux Im not entirely sure about this. Im antifascist as fuck and I look for a fight with racists and people from that ideology every day that Im online (which is every day), but I dont see anywhere near as much of that here as on any of the other corporate, non-decentralized networks.
Also mastodon dot social is connected to threads, which is facebook, and can re-expose people to the standard racism and bigotry that exist there.
@majorlinux @silver_huskey you got "hate bombed"????
Ive been trying to get hate bombed here for literally 8 years, as Ive been doing online for the better part of 25 years. I go uninvited into large mainstream threads and write hard left politics, speak on the Israeli genocide of palestine, LGBTQ rights,m etc etc, but I get back 1/1000th the hate here as on any other network Ive used.
Not you though?
@majorlinux its weird, but since coming here in 2018 all Ive seen masto do is grow, all the while, since basically the start, people say "its not working/people are leaving/nobody cares."
Huh. But they are flocking BACK to regular old corporate trash social media? Ok.
@Mary625 here it comes.
"Everyone is equally responsible for wars we are involved with and sell arms into - both systemically impoverished, occupied, lynched indigenous people with no military who do desperate guerilla warfare, & massive western-backed, intentionally-built, nuclear armed Divide and Conquer projects who receive billions every year to do exactly this."
We sell white phosphorous to the Israelis and others, with the stipulation "only use it for signalling and smoke screens". 😠
@Mary625 @msquebanh Im a bit afraid... and extremely sad. I just can't fathom taking either the side of the occupier, or the "safe" narrative that says Palestinian guerilla warfare against an occupier is just "terrorism".
On top of all of this, there is the propaganda! The propaganda is SO bad lately that you have to do your damn research before offering opinions! What about 70 years of settler violence, supported by the Israeli state, ON TOP of military violence??
@Mary625 @msquebanh biden just fucking said....... he's asking for ONE HUNDRED BILLION MORE for war funding.
#GENERALACTION NOW!! Before we have NOTHING left!
@Mary625 @msquebanh we have been looking for a place to move for a few years now, and we were seriously considering Canada. Then we started paying more attention to the politics and national news up there, and saw the creeping trumpism/fascism problem showing that it had roots there, too. This made us think twice about uprooting everyone and possibly winding up... with a similar problem AFTER moving.
Ive had 4 masto profiles. Instance admins tend to lean neoliberal or right-wing, and I havent found my "home" profile yet, so this will be it until I find something better. Medically vulnerable family here, sheltering in place for over 4 years so far. Science-literate, history and politics-literate, and not interested in "america first" propaganda.I'm also on Climatejustice.social and the mastodon dot social instance, for now. Just trying to find home.
