Main site has following rules:
-
No abusive language
-
No bigotry
-
No advertising
-
No pornography
Obviously last 2 aren’t relevant here. First two, strictly as written, I wouldn’t have issues with but I have seen sooo many leftists sites use the same language to basically virtue signal that they don’t like conservatives, conservative ideas, or speaking out in any way against minorities.
Could be these guys interpret those literally like I do or could be they interpret things through a Critical Race Theory / leftist lens. I have no clue but I usually put it in reverse when I see this cuz it’s so often the leftist interpretation.

fwiw, we got a quasi-reddit like sub on nostr here: satellite.earth/n/explodingheads (mostly just people from here but you do get some crypto bots still if going thru browser than than app using MOB’s relay - and I’ll be honest - the UI is complete shit compared to lemmy or reddit). not expecting, just figured i’d mention
Anyway, got plans for where you going instead?
- Comment on Viral Country Singer Oliver Anthony Pisses Off Racists With First Interview Since Topping Hot 100 1 year ago:
when the term melting pot was coined, it was largely referring to things during the industrial revolution where migrants from various places in europe who actually wanted to work hard and make something of themselves were the ones coming into the country.
today, the migrants (and a large chunk of the citizens) just want free handouts from the government.
it’s only a strength if it brings something useful to the table and that’s directly related to the quality of immigrant.
and ‘open borders’ shit where you can’t screen the immigrants coming into your country is the exact opposite of quality control

sounds likely manufactured or bought off
or threatened behind the scenes

were there any other instances that do free speech? i see your quotes so not getting my hopes up lol
- Comment on Ep. 19 Debate Night with Donald J Trump 1 year ago:
What site?
yeah, exploding-heads. per announcement EH is going permanently offline after 8/31 since Kapow and others have expressed no confidence in future of lemmy (too easy for admins to censor content that users might be interested in, defed wars, issues with updates that cause lot of headaches for admins, etc).
Some folks are moving to nostr (e.g. satellite.earth/n/explodingheads) but others have stated they have no interest in moving there and will probably drift to other sites. I did see you had a narwhal.city account but wasn’t sure if you posted the same kind of things over there or not. Hadn’t been aware of that kbin instance, so thanks - will bookmark
- Comment on I'm frustrated and sad 1 year ago:
excellent point. it probably was closer to this originally based on how my freend described it
- Comment on I'm frustrated and sad 1 year ago:
can fuck up your spine on any of them. i see people mess up their neck especially on phone/tablet, laptop, and desktop
wish i had known what ‘ergonomics’ was before i spent my career on a computer messing mine up
but yeah, i like bigger screens too 😉
- Comment on BREAKING: Jordan Peterson forced to undergo reeducation from Ontario College of Psychologists to retain his license 1 year ago:
Fair enough. Obviously, once good people are back in power, it would be easy enough to sort out loopholes and make it harder for this kind of thing to happen going forward.
But how would you propose to correct the problem in the short-term without stooping to their level or caving to their demands? Having JP move to the US / out of Canada seems to me to just be running away from the problem rather than meeting it head on.

thanks, not sure about Alice but you encouraged me to get off my ass and make my bed, even if it wasn’t the first thing
- Comment on For anybody else that watched all or part of the debate: thoughts? 1 year ago:
you mean trump? yeah, he ain’t perfect and there’s plenty of stuff i don’t like about him. the deficit thing sucks but i think was inevitable when coming in after dems that fucked over military. aside from the vaccine shit, he’s almost as old as biden, i think he’s overly childish
somea lot of times, and is pretty divisive (less chance of grabbing moderate votes cuz of msm cucks).he doesn’t seem likely to cave to dems on 2A, kicking trannies out of where they don’t need to be, or securing border. but honestly, i feel like desantis wouldn’t cave on any of that stuff either.
idk, guess i just feel like he’s been there once already and know’s the playing field whereas desantis would need to get his bearings a bit before he really shines.
who presided over the denial of your civil rights
are you meaning the covid jab or something else? not really sure
- Comment on For anybody else that watched all or part of the debate: thoughts? 1 year ago:
yeah that part wasn’t so great. i guess the thing I liked about her was pointing out the limitations of what the position of president can actually do. I feel like a lot of the debate is basically what amounts to “I’m for this” but realistically if you had house or senate packed with dems, then a republican pres would still be pretty limited. was just refreshing to see someone actualy acknowledge that i guess.
But like I said, wasn’t my 1st or 2nd pick or anything.

lol. no, this was just something i threw together while trolling that one ai bot on satellite earth and figured i’d share
- Comment on I'm frustrated and sad 1 year ago:
yeah, totally get this. replace ‘phone’ with ‘computer’ and ‘sad’ with ‘bored’ and you could be talking about me too.
some advice i got secondhand from a fren’s therapist was to try to do at least one thing different from your normal routine everyday just to break established patterns. friend had been going thru depression when he got the advice but i tihnk its good regardless. i just need to kick myself in the ass and actually follow it lol
i listened to one of the jordan peterson audiobooks last year and it had some similar stuff in there. i think one of the examples was if you had let your paperwork pile up and were overwhelmed by the task, then start off with 1 or 2, just do some small piece and force yourself to come back to it and keep doing small pieces. probably can be adapted to a lot of stuff but my brain is shutting down for the day and can’t really think

- Comment on BREAKING: Jordan Peterson forced to undergo reeducation from Ontario College of Psychologists to retain his license 1 year ago:
The complaints against him were not made by people who had direct, or even secondary contact with him or his clients.
…
Peterson said that the complainants were comprised of “about a dozen people from all over the world” who “submitted complaints” about his public statements, including those made on social media and during appearances on such podcasts such as The Joe Rogan Experience.
One of the things that I have noticed pretty consistently is that the woke tards always fail to consider how resorting to underhanded tactics could backfire and be used against them.
For example, the way I’m reading this, doesn’t this that mean people can basically lodge complaints without being patients of the psychologists or even residents of Canada? And if so, then couldn’t people make similar complaints against the people who have been assigned as educators (and presumably are woke tards), e.g. “Dr. Erika Abner, LLM, LLB, Ph.D, or Gail Siskind, RN, MA” and more importantly against the board members pushing this idiocy, e.g. the Ontario College of Psychologists?
- Comment on Ep. 19 Debate Night with Donald J Trump 1 year ago:
any plans if/where you will post when the site goes down? I’ve enjoyed the stuff you share so just curious
- Comment on Are you guys ok ? 1 year ago:
if you use it from the browser, it’s pretty easy as long as you save a copy of your private key somewhere (websites will offer to create it for you),
this is the one that is a little closer to lemmy/reddit: satellite.earth/…/npub1wg6u23gjc2y33fxukr284fy8p8…
this is the one thats a little closer to a discord/irc chatroom: nostrchat.io/…/08642dad6729819cc79650d18b93c5c913…
haven’t used it from apps, so can’t comment there.
- Comment on Are you guys ok ? 1 year ago:
im good, just tired. you?
guessin yuo mean how dead the site is tho? yeah, seems deader every day but cant really blame everybody
- Comment on If you guys are still going to use lemmy after EH goes down, what do you think of these ones? 1 year ago:
fair enough; you just seemed more knowledgeable on it than me and wasn’t sure if you were familiar with the admin at all. no worries tho
