I said something along the lines of:

“Wow, I haven’t had a reason to smile ear to ear in a while.”

Along with

“Nah, the more dead corpos dragons, the better.”

In response to some liberal going off about how violence is never the solution, not mentioning how this murdered dipshit has personally overseen a system that perpetuates harm, suffering and death (violence) in the name of profit.

Good ole’ civility clause.

Whats the paradox of tolerance?

.world mods have never heard of it I guess.

    Let me just say I’d love to continue this conversation, but even talking further about real world examples of things that have already happened, which I have no intention of doing pr emulating myself, would risk … lets say a kind of moderation from a higher authority.

      You’re talking nonsense. We are on db0. You can talk about violence to make a political or historical argument. I know, because I just did exactly that.

      Even on lemmy.world, I think you can usually do it also as long as you’re not calling for or celebrating violence, although the moderation is sometimes weird and inconsistent there. But in this particular community I don’t see any kind of issue if you want to say what you mean.

          While you can certainly trust us, you should still practice proper OpSec for any stuff that can land you in trouble (not talking about a shitpost obviously) even on our instance. If worst comes to worst, we won’t be able to stop nation states going against us.

          More importantly, on unencrypted communications channels. In cleartext on a public facing website. In a country where it’s well known that the entire fucking internet gets saved to NSA’s Utah data center.

          In a country where, during the War on Terror, they wanted to slap non-violent Quaker protestors with terrorism charges and people who viewed linuxjournal.com were chosen for extra surveillance because linuxjournal was defined as an “extremist forum.”

            Yeah, people just kind of forgot about how that NSA facility in Utah basically is the Aquinas router in Area 51 from Deus Ex, at least in terms of scale and ability to just know nearly literally everything that happens on the internet.

                Morpheus was more or less correct as well.

                We are building ourselves a new God out of data mining algorithms (LLMs) and it is psuedo omnipresent, on basically every phone, soon to be in basically all software.
