I decided to make an account on Reddit after like 2 years, cause it's the only place with a particular active community that I like.

I went through 4 accounts in 2 days, all perma banned. The mods in that place have gone completely insane, even more than before. Bans without warning, bans over hurt feelings, bans over literally nothing. The site is unusable, and there's no discussion to be had because anything more than a one word answer gets you banned. I had an account there for 5 years with no issues, and now I lost 4 in 2 days over ban happy mods. Fuck that place

Shitstain Steinbot UniversalMonk forum slider constantly stirring shit on reddit for a decade comes here and THEY FUCKING remove MY POSTS?!

Same fucking disease that ruined reddit is here, activist mods with ulterior motives protecting their rule breaking friends.

Fuck every single mod in that sub into a coma with barbed wire wrapped bundle of red hot industrial grade rebar.

I met a stroke survivor at the doctors office today, he had had a stroke at work. By sheer, stupid coincidence, an ambulance was parked right outside and he got the best care possible virtually immediately.

He still spent 6 weeks in the hospital, and when it came time for release, they wouldn't let him go home immediately, he would have to spend time in assisted living, which his insurance would not pay for.

He spent $10,000 a month out of pocket for assisted living. He lost his house.

Me? I had a heart attack 3 days after Thanksgiving, 2018. 4 weeks into a 6 week open heart surgery recovery, my company got bought by one of the biggest technology companies in the world, my insurance changed, I lost my doctors, my hospital, and had to start over in a new medical system while complications were doing their best to kill me.

I just had a conversation at work that would cover assisted living or in home care... $330 a month beyond what I already pay for health insurance. Oh, but it covers NOTHING for the first 12 weeks. 90 days of nothing. Hope you have saved that $30,000...

While we were trading these war stories, the Muzak in the doctor's office started playing this song.

Not... even... kidding. Yeah, Aint that America...

Where the quality of your health care, and really whether you live or die, depends on who you work for and what insurance they deign to carry.

There is such a taboo against calling out propagandists and intellectually dishonest posters. EVERY FUCKING MOD WILL ARGUE FOR THE FUCKING BOT'S POSITION.

EVERY FUCKING TIME!

Mod: Well, how do you know they are forum manipulators?

Me: Because they are using commonly used forum manipulation techniques A, C, and F, constantly change their personality and positions to maximally affect the thread they are currently in, and only ever post on politically charged topics despite 99.9% of Lemmy's userbase also participating in non-political communities normally, and uses syntax structure and word choices that align with 80% of confirmed Putinbots.

Mod: That's not enough, I'm silencing you for 3 days for harassment.

FUCK EVERY SHITSTAIN MOD THAT HAS LET LEMMY GET THIS BAD IN SUCH A SHORT TIMW!

FUCK EVERY FORUM MANIPULATOR ACTIVELY WORKING TO RATCHET THIS ENTIRE PLANET TOWARDS NEOFASCISM!

Her name is Hermaevs and SHE'S FUCKING IMMACULATE!

https://www.youtube.com/@Hermaevs

She's been making SL1 Souls runs for years no with BARELY ANY traction.

Let me unpack this:

What she does for fun is beat bosses naked at 1st level, usually with just a stick, taking no damage.

It is FUCKING MAJESTIC to watch her pick apart HUGE FLAILING bosses like a meticulous kid takes apart their lego sets.

She's cute, NOT a boobtuber, truly has a deep passion for all Souls games AND YOU NEED TO GO FUCKING WATCH HER RIGHT NOW!!

SHE NO HIT CONSORT RADAN NAKED RL1!!!! DIDN'T EVEN LET HIM BREATHE!!

So me and my niece are part of an outgroup that is currently being targeted by the hard right, and my sister and I both legitimately fear for the safety of our family.

With the news Biden is dropping out, we are leaving the country.

To be clear: I LIKE Harris, I will be voting for Harris and whoever else is on the blue side of the ballot. But after that we are all getting on a plane because I think regardless of who wins this election, this country will go full concentration-camp fascist within 4 years.

The apathy that I see in my fellow citizens about all of the horrific things surrounding that fucking orange abomination tells me this country WANTS fascism and this time the GOP picked a narcissistic idiot, then next time they won't make that mistake.

So we're packing most of our stuff and shipping it off tomorrow to relatives, voting early, and staying in a sane country for at least a few years.

I hate that I have to do this, I hate that it is even a conceivable issue but some trumpfucker at a protest broke my nieces hand because of who she is and I don't think it's safe to be in a place where that becomes normalized.

The world didn't used to be like this. A busninesses reputation was built on how it treated its customers, and Americans demanded and got quality products and services at a price normal people could afford.

Now every FUCKDAMN restaurant wants a 30% tip, and now I'm getting PRESSURED TO TIP THE CASHIER AT A GAS STATION?!

Look I get it, times are tough and those people deserve more BUT IT SHOULD COME FROM THE VAST UNCHECKED PROFITS OF THE COMPANY THAT THEY ALLOW TO EXIST!

But NooOOoow we've NORMALIZED customer abuse and dark patterns, we just 'oh gee damn' extra fees and not owning anything.

WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO LET US LIE BACK AND TAKE THIS?!

I went to a hospital recently to visit a friend and needed to buy lunch while I was there. I purchased a premade chicken Caesar salad in a package for $7.50.

I walk back to where I’m staying and realize the salad has everything except the dressing. It’s literally lettuce, chicken, croutons, and a bit of cheese.

I say fuck this because it’s hardly even a Caesar salad at this point, and I go back to buy something else. That’s when I realize, they do have dressing, but it’s sold separately and it’s a fucking $1.00.

A big deal? No. Infuriating? YES.

IDGAF if you are doing it to be funny, ALMOST NONE of you have had to deal with as many YEARS of boomer bullshit as I have.

THEY FUCKING CANCELED DND FOR ME! NONE OF YOU WILL KNOW THAT PAIN.

My parents were boomers, all their friends were boomers, I had to sit and watch as they pulled the ladder up.

I have never been financially stable and I did everything those BOOMER FUCKS told me to do: Study hard, get a degree, look em in the eye and firm handshake your way into a 2 car garage and a family of five, work at the same job every day and give your all to the company and they will take care of you.

LIES! LIES LIES! LIES! LIES!!!

Those of you fucking lucky enough to be raised by GenX, you have NO CLUE what it was like to live under a boomer's roof.

Now of course a ton of you are going to come in this thread and call me a boomer because the internet is filled with smelly children with sticky fingers that can't help but prod people where they suffer and I WILL BAN EVERY MOTHERFUCKING LAST ONE OF YOU and CACKLE as I do. Like a good old classic witch's cackle. I might even put on my hat.
