      It’s being censored by most of the western internet, the Fediverse is proving it’s worth in this moment.

        There are places better for this. The sidebar of this community says:

        A community to talk about the Fediverse and all it’s related services using ActivityPub (Mastodon, Lemmy, KBin, etc).

        An image of him isn’t related to that at all (even if it’s related, I’d argue it’s a low-effort post–wouldn’t it be better if we post something like a discussion of about the censorship and how fediverse is better).

        So let’s be better.

          I don’t care about votes, I’m responding to the accusation that this topic is not proving the exact reason the fediverse exists in the first place.

            Pretty sure the exact reason for the fediverse was to build social networks that were resistant to any one person or group of people expressing influence over the whole.

            The reason not being about anarchy or having to put up with stupid bullshit like murder worship if we don’t want to.

              This comment is all over the place. Can you clarify what you are asking for? My summary of what you said is:

              “I like that different opinions are represented :). I don’t like this opinion being represented :(“

              Well that’s not because it’s being downvoted…which is what you said. It’s because it’s being upvoted until it gets censored, which is happening less here in the fediverse than on corporate run sites like reddit…

      I implore you to look into the censorship of this story in western media, the fediverse is proving itself to be censorship-resistant at this very moment!

        Sometimes communities will get behind a movement that’s outside of a community’s subject matter but is important to all.

          I assure you, seeing a bunch of losers literally worship a jailed murderer is very far from important to me. I actually like him less every day because of how twisted your perceptions of him are, but now you’ve escalated to organized religion level? Whats next, gonna go door to door preaching about him? Beg for donations outside of Walmart? Make schools give a fake copy of his manifesto equal representation as real theory?

          If it’s important to you pushy bastards, just make your own community or instance about it.

      There’s probably a crusader saint. Oh st Joan of Arc. Sure she was sanctified for martyrdom (only catholic saint to be martyred by the catholic church yet), but she did do a war as part of her miracles

      Mother Teresa prevented hundreds of not thousands from getter proper medical treatment so they could stay in her “care”. That and advocating for and defending rapists, I’m sure she at least killed a handful of people at least indirectly.

    If you see any media source posting his scowling face…

    Swear them off forever.

    They’re not here to deliver you news they’re here to delude you.

    I do follow this issue, but how is this US-internal topic relevant to the fediverse community?

    I say this as someone who opposes oligarchs and has a rather scritical attitude towards local perceptions of corruption in the US.

      This is being censored on Reddit and Meta properties (Instagram, Facebook, etc.). The fediverse is proving its worth in the global class war. Don’t divide us with petty borders.

        I don’t think it really matters either way. The bell can’t be unrung, and it sounded the death knell of the private health insurance industry.

            Eh, I don’t think you’re necessarily wrong, but I imagine if evil CEOs just started dying more frequently that’d have some impact on the rest of them.

      Isn’t it interesting how they immediately arrested him on a tip and are now building a case. Whereas with Trump, they did nothing for 4 years because, “Procedure dictates we had to build a case before arrest.”

        Well, st Luigi doesn’t have a million dollar legal team to stall the proceedings until he can become president and just quash the whole thing by extending the polite convention.

        Apparently that stops the clock entirely on these things, right??
