First time I’ve used Reddit in ages and I said to someone, “collect resources and die like the rest of us.”

Very clearly not a threat, just stating a fact. Apparently pointing out the fact that we all die is violence.

Oh my God, I hate the Internet. I remember when I loved it.

    Its why the younger generation uses words like “Unalive”. They’re growing up on puritanical platforms that use automation to censor sensitive topics and they have to find creative ways to express themselves to get around the censorship.

      That’s fucking sad. That alone should be enough to push people toward the Fediverse. Man, how lucky was I to grow up on a truly free internet?

          I was on rotten way earlier in life than I should have been. Shit, when our elementary school got internet we had no web filters whatsoever. They really didn’t know what they were handing us back in the 90’s

            In high school I used to tape the addresses for proxy servers to the bottom of the keyboards for my comrades. I was on a mailing list and when the new addresses got posted they always worked for a few days before they updated the filters. Even though they could have checked the keyboards, the librarians looked the other way because they were pro free inquiry and pro free speech.

            This is still a huge issue, and not only in schools

      “Inhume”: Opposite of exhume.

      Used in a sentence: Nikita Kruschev - “We will inhume you!”
