For national security reasons we can not publish all information.

This makes one so depressed, realizing it was better a few years ago, like 2019 the vibes I got from these sites was different.

active subs like … r/news r/politics ?

I guess manipulating those is seen as essential by some.

In the future they can always block or shadow-ban such conversations with keyword-search and AI.

why did you get shadow-banned? Did you make any controversial statements?

there are many more forums on the internet on the fediverse. They could also just have joined facebook.

This seems as problematic, since reddit will not exist as a place for organic conversation like this any longer but an over-moderated place.

is this a new hoop you have to jump across to be considered a valid user?

Thank you for your service of the fediverse. You can be proud of yourself. I could never do something like run such a big instance.

They seem sterile, devoid of something real. The frontier of the internet has moved on.

gaygal? I think you mean alphabet cooperation ™️

I am sure their AI is watching your comment right now. And mine, fuck.

Why are the advertisements making fun of me?

Are students allowed to throw tomato at it?

Thank you for your answer. Interesting.

To be honest, I do not plan to post any nsfw content with this account.

Thank your for your service to the lemmyverse.

Capitalism tends to coopt its enemies into advertisements.

What. The. Fuck. surpressed news subreddit is banned? It is over.

I still think shadow-banning and manipulation of the front-page is worse to be honest.
