Sobering how all the tech bro social sites are programming people to self-censor so the bots don't cull their posts. The Internet is turning into a shitfuck.

We needed a national online govt forum where we could sue for freedom of speech violations by mods etc. Unfortunately our government lacks leadership or progressives so

I'm picturing a discord-like server run by USPS and boooooooooy what a cluster fuck that would be

(Mostly because of the users, but also because of the way the current and previous administrations have repeatedly hamstrung USPS)

I more mean something organized like Reddit or Lemmy, with multiple aids for translating into other languages and disability access and allowing for an audio mode or text mode. Eg instead of going to my city's Reddit, I'll go to their actual official forum page. Instead of viewing my rep's stupid Twitter, I can view their actual offical forum account.

And yeah it'll be a fucking mess, legal nightmare, and expensive. But we need it as much as we need the post office and everything else.

I agree, it's a necessary clusterfuck. But a clusterfuck indeed.

Not only are they censoring porn, they're censoring the word itself!

Why you think the net was born? P*rn, p*rn, p*rn!
