Two things to say here, one, the “trains ran on time” line was for Fascist Italy, not Nazi Germany, and two, it was never anything more than propaganda made to make people think that the fascist regime was efficient, when in reality it was quite the opposite, it was horribly corrupt and disorganized

The way that “at least Mussolini made the trains run on time” is still treated as fact by so many people isn’t proof that terrible people do some things right, it’s proof that too many people still fall for literal fascist propaganda

But I suppose it’s fitting, because “Trump is going to take out the cartels!!” is also little more than propaganda to support a US invasion of Mexico

Sweet, we got our new Navy SEALs copypasta updated for 2025! We’re all trembling because of your badassery I’m sure 🤣

They’ve actively played a role in genocides before, they’re absolutely still doing it

It’s really damning though that they even put out the blog post to begin with, because at best they were jumping the gun, at worst they’re too out of touch with vulnerable groups to realize that it had no chance of being a positive change to begin with

Like, even before the Hateful Conduct page got updated, loads of people were calling them out on this, because there was zero chance Facebook was doing this in “good faith”, and it was obvious to anyone like us what Facebook meant by “over-censorship”

This must be the “fixing its over-censorship problem” that the Electronic Frontier Foundation was “applauding” them for yesterday

I play some Magic, mainly just Commander because a local game store has free Commander nights every Thursday and everyone there is fine with proxies, I do miss competitive 1v1 formats but shit’s waaay too expensive

I did meet someone there who does cube draft, but that doesn’t happen often

I’d like to play more KeyForge (I picked up a cheap box of Age of Ascension online last month), but locally it’s completely nonexistent, and I don’t really have friends outside of those Commander nights to play games casually with, also I’m not a huge fan of playing card games online

I’d also like to try some kind of tabletop RPG sometime since I’ve never played them, but that would require having a group of friends I’m comfortable with who would also want to do so, and that’s a no-go right now

Nah what they actually have in common is that a lot of people treat Magic cards like stocks 😅

So far, it’s been better than Twitter for sure, and more functional especially

I mean I’m mainly using it to follow artists though, your use case may be different

Is it really EEE though? There isn’t the “extend” part if they’re not extending ActivityPub, it’s just a competitor at that point, unlike Threads which was actually trying to be ActivityPub compatible (and everyone immediately saw right through it)

That person has given me awful reactionary vibes for ages so I’m glad to see them banned, though I didn’t know it was actually that bad since I can only really see the stuff that’s not removed of course

But yeah, they always gave me the sense of “this person wants to be communist but not actually change their behavior” and seemed like the kind of person to try to find the “right reasons” to hate on something that’s already getting shit for being “woke”

I think EndeavourOS (or anything based on Arch Linux) isn’t a great distro to start with for a beginner, experienced users like to pretend that it’s totally easy but it’s really not, it generally relies more on the terminal and manual configuration than other easier distros

I agree with that other comment in this thread saying that a different distro would be a lot easier to learn, and I also agree with them about Fedora Kinoite being easy to understand as a new user (the distro I use is a variant of it), though I also understand that a lot of people here aren’t fond of Fedora due to their connection to Red Hat, and Fedora’s Atomic variants like that have some quirks that make them different from most other distros

I also agree that XFCE isn’t a great choice of desktop environment, a big part of it being “lightweight” is because it lacks a lot of useful features that other DEs have, and if your PC can handle current Windows then you most likely will be fine with “heavier” DEs like KDE Plasma or GNOME, they still generally run better than Windows these days

I’d recommend trying KDE Plasma (Fedora Kinoite comes with it, but you can get it on most other distros too), it’s very flexible but still pretty easy to use, its UI scaling works better than in any other DE I’ve seen, and it also has color blindness filters if that’s what you mean by color filter (and if you mean blue light filter, it has that too)

Ayyy this is the guy who was defending price gouging during a hurricane the other week, real positive force for society right here

Awesome news

Edit: They got banned from Hexbear too

Their response on another post is pretty incoherent, I’ve never heard someone mean this when they say they’re against “woke”

All the while, they claim it’s Russia that’s engaging in “human waves” tactics

It looks like they’re also doing the same thing with an alt on Hexbear (they posted the same Daily Mail articles to their politics community which looks to be against that community’s “don’t directly link reactionary sites” rule lol), which I think is another red flag

I agree that it’s really suspicious at best, I have no idea what purpose this community could serve other than for spreading that kind of nonsense, especially considering the brand new account that created it is clearly a reactionary of some variety

I think it’s a pretty huge red flag though that it’s a brand new “transracial woke-free” account that immediately creates this community and starts using it to link fascist rags and nothing else

What exactly is this community?? A brand new “woke-free” account making a “Politics Unfiltered” space where Democrats and Republicans are said to be welcome, that’s exclusively posting articles from rags like the Daily Mail
