Agreed. Lots of missed opportunities, and Lemmy is also shunning away their allies against Trump by overusing the words Nazi and Fascist to describe every poster that disagrees with Democrats. My gf, who is very very anti-Trump, lasted on Lemmy one day. One day!

She said it was way too hateful and political. lol

I feel bad even recommending it to her, and I don't recommend it to any of my friends anymore.

Lemmy will die in a few years because of it's extremism. It's already slowing down. But I'll ride it to the end to prove to people that they didn't bully me off of it. :)

I wish people was more forgiven of Trump voters, it is not the monolithic the Left tries to portray it is. Trump sold himself as fighting the establishment, being anti-war and pro-antitrust (many small business owners supported him)

Be prepared to accept accusations of being a fascist Nazi for saying this. You're right, but Lemmy is so extreme on this subject, that if you aren't with the majority, then you're an evil nazi pig--regardless of reality.

I still get accused of it and all I did was vote third party in the election. 9 months ago! lol

Can confirm. about 15 years ago, my bank account was frozen for 3 weeks for child-support enforcement. Only they weren't talking about my kid or even me. Some dude in Florida with my same first and last name was a deadbeat dad. So they froze my account because apparently, he didn't have a bank account or something.

What's super annoying about it is that we had different middle names, not even close to the same social security number, and not one person even contacted me before my bank account was frozen. I only found out because a check I wrote or something bounced. And I was like, WTF?

I was finally able to talk to enough bank people to clear it up. But it took 3 weeks. I never got an apology for it either. And the fuckers did not refund my insufficient funds fee. I mean, it was only $15 bucks, and it would have cost me more than that in my time to get a refund, but still...

So yeah, even here in the US, banks can suck.

Hey! I resemble this remark!

There is no story. And I haven't been banned from "everywhere." Those two posters (and most of Lemmy) are mad because last year I voted third party in the US election.

Back then, many on Lemmy thought that if you didn't support the Democratic Party, then you were a russian spy working for Trump. People legit accused me of living in Russia, being paid with russian bitcoin (to post on lemmy! WTF?! lol), and trying to get Trump elected. All because I posted news articles about third parties.

Several posters tracked me, one actually wrote a program to track me and the times I posted in order to "prove" I was "russian." Didn't work tho, cuz I'm not russian and I don't live in russia. It was a wild time. lol

Even tho I created and mod several socialist and third party comms: Socialst, Anarchist, Green, etc. :

And I actually voted for a Socialist party. Now, third party is cool, but right before the election, oh hell no! You were a traitor if you mentioned third party. lmao.

My post history and my comment history is public both from on this instance and my former home, .world under this same username. :)

Basically they all swore up and down that I'd disappear right after the election. And blocked me. But I didn't disappear, and since they blocked me, they don't see my posts. So they keep going on and on about how I was banned from Lemmy. lol

Now, anytime they see a poster they don't like, they like to say it's an "alt of Universal Monk" trying to worship Trump. When you ask them why I would post and create so much Socialist stuff if I was really a Trump voter, they usually then attack you and say that you are an alt of Universal Monk too.

All the while, I'm over here just posting away and doing my thing and posting my fiction writing, socialist articles and anarchy articles. :)

I appreciate your well-balanced tone and explanation. A rare thing on Lemmy lately.

I support you. Stay strong against the serial downvoters and don't let them bully you.

Stealing from the rich to give to the poor. You’re distributing the wealth to the poor, right?

• I sponsor a family with Compassion International. (https://www.compassion.com/sponsor_a_child/) One of the better .orgs, but I don't like how they don't give the money directly to the families themselves. They give to the community, which is fine, but they should be more specific about that. I signed up before I knew those details, but I get such special letters from the child that I support w this program, that I don't wanna cancel.
• I sponsor two different families through Unbound. (https://www.unbound.org/) One of the top orgs for sponsoring a child. Both families are in Guatemala. I exchange letters and videos with both families. And this org actually sends 90% of donations directly to sponsored families, giving them control to meet their specific needs rather than funneling aid through preset programs.
• I donate to the elementary and middle schools where I used to work as an affective needs teacher before I retired. Both schools serve children in underserved communities. I also regularly visit local thrift stores to buy children’s clothing to donate to the elementary school. The clothes are kept in the principal’s office and used when students have accidents (bathroom, playground, P.E., or art class, etc.) so they can change at school. Many parents can’t leave work during the day, so this helps prevent embarrassment for the child and keeps them comfortable without disrupting their learning.Please call your local elementary school and see if they need donations like this as well, and ask what sizes they need. Solid color clothes with no logo or graphics are preferred.
• I buy children's books for the Free Little Library that I have in front of my house so that it is always stocked with books. I also buy and donate books to the Free Little Library in front of my former schools.
• I'm a member of the Red Cross and I volunteer there by transporting donated blood from donation centers to hospitals. I do that 2 days a week, and that takes gas.
• I donate to the teacher's union that I was a part of.
• I also donate to a local Socialist Workers Party office in my city. And regularly donate to their main org as well. I also started and maintain SWP comms here on Lemmy.
• I also keep up a spare room in my house for friends (or friends of friends) that need a quick place to stay in order to get back on their feet for whatever life throws at them.

I don't have a lot of extra, but what I have goes to those projects.

Now list what you do, friend. Because I bet you earn way more money than I do.

Right?! Thanks, friend! :)

You’re taking glee in stealing from artists.

I'm not stealing from any artists. I'm stealing from the capitalist megacorporations that stole from artists. Also, throughout my entire career I worked as a professional artist.

This is a pro-AI instance. Get used to it.

You are Fuck you; got mine-ing the humans that the capitalists are feeding to the machine.

No, because you can do the same thing I am doing. Nothing is stopping you, except for your hate of AI.

I have no respect for that, nor you.

I don't care. You don't pay my bills. :)

I'm using their own methods against them. No regrets.

Me taking glee in stealing from a capitalist megacorp is not a "fuck you, I got mine" comment. You can do the exact same thing I'm doing.

I like and use AI. You can too, but you choose not to. That's all on you.

I'm immune. Let's test it. Let's raise a billion dollars for me

I don't believe any of that. But I could be wrong. I only wish I could find out and then let ya know how I'm doing

I think he would be happy if he didn't care what people think. I need his money, with my personality tho. :)

And also your brain would be so damaged by the money you wouldn’t be able to enjoy anything.

I don't know, man. Drugs and women. All my money would go to that. I feel I could enjoy a lot of stuff with that much money. Not to mention I would buy a huge Lemmy instance just to annoy and shitpost. Welcome to UniversalMonkWorld baaaabbbyyy!!!!

You have higher morals than me. :)

Yeah, that's definitely sus looking so I can see how mods might think that

Embarrassing for you, maybe. Obviously, not embarrassing for me.

I’m just riding the wave while it lasts. I don’t treat it like a real job. More like skimming cream off the top while the corrupt capitalist system lumbers along. I know the window for making money this way is probably short, but that just makes it sweeter.

The megacorps are raking in billions, and I get to sneak in, steal the product that they've already stolen, and laugh all the way to my tiny bank. They build the machines, pump out the slop, and flood the world with it. I just show up with a spoon.

Picture a giant bull in a field, stuffing its face. Flies swarm around it, laying eggs in the shit. And I'm a little scruffy bird perched on its back, snacking on the flies and soaking up the ride. The bull does all the work. I just feast on the ecosystem it creates.

I grow fat off the slop that megacorp capitalists overproduce. I use them, instead of them using me. That's the game, friend. Delicious.

You're fighting a fight you can't win. AI isn't going anywhere. I'm just adapting to the situation. And laughing.
