So, OS-level age-gating is going federal, which will effectively kill your rights to device ownership and what’s left of free speech and expression.

Enjoy your free speech while you still have it because this is a clear attempt to erase that right.

SOPA never died, it just went into hiding until time to reemerge, and now’s that time, this is basically SOPA in a save the kids trenchcoat.

    Sir, this is Lemmy. We came here because we were banned from Reddit. That’s about the extent of our action against the system that runs our lives.

      Yeah, but if we keep advocating for violent revolution maybe someone else will do it for us so we can have better lives!

        For some of us we are too injured and broken to do much more then hope those who are of sound body and able to resist will do so.

          Even an injured person can man a radio. Can produce leaflets, can distribute whistles, can send food and supplies.

          Start watching resistance stories. Read books like full spectrum resistance.

          You are not alone You are not powerless You do not have to feel defeated…that’s what they want.

      According to lemmy.world’s rules, as written by the Zionists in charge; advocating for any sort of violence would be against the rules. You have to go to those instances to see both proof of action plus advocating of further action.

          I agree, the people in charge of your instance, who happen to full-throatedly support the genocide of the palestinian people, do not however agree. That is something for your to wrestle with, and maybe choose a better instance should you wish to both advocate for or participate in acts prohibited to be discussed by lemmy.world’s rules.

            I’m new and have no idea what an instance is.

            Edit: nevermind I googled it. Pretty convoluted

              It’s not.

              You have an account on a server (instance). That server has an administrator. I have an account on a different server, which has a different administrator. We can speak to each other in the middle from these two separate servers, via federation protocols.

              The administrator(s) on your server are loud and proud authoritarians and frequently silence any discussion of general resistance, among other topics that they don’t like. This is not a personal failure on your part; there’s not much way to know about it except to be told or to inspect the mod logs yourself. Now that you’ve been told, though, you have the opportunity to move to a server that actually respects your right to speak on the internet.

              Or you may elect to stay on LW and be banned or censored without warning, and be lightly associated with auth-left idiots for anyone who knows what the LW admins are like. That is a choice that can be made.

              If you are going to make a move, I’ll warn you that .ml is known for similar. Just about most anywhere else is hosted by sane people, frequently as independent projects, even more frequently as a direct response to LW and ML’s dumbfuckery.

        Never forget, anyone who doesn’t advocate for the exact specific things you advocate for is the enemy, and should be treated as such!

      Being honest? Why I came here. And, frankly, I’ve been here less than a day and I love it more than I did Reddit. (Still figuring this place out, but yeah )
