I don't get this attitude. Obama was literally against gay marriage. Biden's policies have been so much more progressive than Obama's and yet nobody I know likes him more. I'm not a "fan" of Biden but that's because it's weird and creepy to be a "fan" of government officials. He does a lot I don't like but if you literally hate Biden I don't forsee any president ever meeting your criteria.

Not voting doesn’t mean you support Trump.

You're saying that if you did vote, it would be for Trump? Because that's the only case in which not voting wouldn't help Trump.

Your point? If you have conservative values, then not supporting Trump does indeed help Biden to win.

Fuck this system for making me choose between bad and worse

Don't make me defend the US voting system but that is not how it works. Primaries exist and that's where voters make the case for a specific person. The large, general, national elections are for forming coalitions and compromising. This is what we do to decide who gets power instead of physically fighting. There will never, ever be a time when a single candidate is the ideal choice for a majority of Americans. Compromise is a core tenant of democracy and by definition it means nobody gets everything they want.

And while we're on the topic, 99% of leftists understand this. Anyone telling you "voting doesn't matter" or that "both candidates are the same" is just trying to reverse the progress that's already been made.

It would be funny if he started a Mastodon instance with whatever his values are. The reason he would never do that is because it's not for profit.

You're correct. It doesn't stop Nazis from having a home or building a following. It just allows users to not see it.

Uh... source? This runs counter to everything I've seen and read about it.

No... NO. It was appallingly terrible at banning Nazis, worse than even Reddit in many ways. Twitter banned a tiny, tiny fraction of extremely prominent and openly fascist accounts that had been permitted to operate for years, but they ignored Nazi dogwhistles from large accounts and smaller accounts that didn't gain a following and were used to harass 1-2 people were generally allowed to operate freely.

Remember: they didn't even ban Donald Trump himself until he tried to literally violently overthrow the US government. Twitter pre-Musk was an absolute shit hole, but it was at least headed in a hopeful direction. Musk kept it a shit hole and just changed the direction it was going.

I know your intentions are good but if my kid stumbled across gore or animal abuse they're going to require a level of "talking to" that is waaay beyond my skill level, and a content blocker is a lot cheaper than a child psychologist.

Most of the "communities" are just endless meme reposts like reddit,

all the big brains on wallstreetbets out there saying reddit didnt have any additional value to offer shareholders well THINK AGAIN

Meanwhile Apple does this every few years and nobody cares.
