If this kind of thing keeps happening too often, I expect people to start falling from windows.

The US is already transitioning to a right wing society right before you eyes. Reddit as well as all mainstream media are just following this movement.

Didn’t realise that… Thanks!

Would it be inconsistent for a vegan to claim they love houseplants?

Old guy here. My advice: find something you really like and do that. Doing something you like multiplies by 10 the chance you’ll get good at it. You’ll have to try out a few things, which might give you the impression you are wasting your time; but it’s better to lose 3-4 years finding your way than burning up at 35 because you hate what you do.

He’s just seeing what Trump and the GOP are planning for the US and hopes he’ll be one of the oligarchs at the top in the end.

You seem to believe that Trump saying “fake news!” is enough to consider that something is actually fake news. Anyone with a bit of critical thinking can verify this kind of affirmation and decide for themselves whether Trump is right or wrong. There’s a difference between a truth and a belief, but your argument seems to equate the two.

If a judge in Brazil says an account should be banned because it spreads disinformation, I can go and check what was posted and decide if it’s indeed disinformation. Now I might not have time to verify every affirmation like this so I tend to trust the judicial system of any country by default, unless I have reason to believe they can’t be trusted.

I think there are a few simple criteria to discriminate between legitimate opponents and others: spreading disinformation, bad faith, populism, the absence of a coherent political discourse, etc. If a government identifies illegitimate opponents based on these criteria, I’m ok with that.

So, what makes you think these accounts were legitimate political opponents?

So the X accounts belonged to legitimate political opponents, they weren’t spreading disinformation?

I don’t know about the judicial system in Brazil but they don’t seem that corrupted…

(…) you’re a racist AND dumb.

To a large extent you’re racist because you’re dumb.

For the last few months they’ve traded their dog whistles for blow horns. More and more hatred is being normalized.

A steady stream of bullshit, just like before the 2016 election. Trump won, so it’s not surprising they consider this their winning strategy.

The name is just a name. Whatever you call it won’t change what people think of it, why people use it, or the fact that it’s a social media platform for the brain dead.

The fact that they didn’t even try to hide their ssid (or at least, the report doesn’t say they did) shows how stupid people can be with cybersecurity.

“Can’t find the clitoris” is kind of a boomer joke tbh.

We need a kind of everybody union.

In a democracy, that’s called a government.

Might be the American way, but it’s mainly Europe that will take the heat in an all out war against Russia.

Also, how does it end? Anyone really thinks Putin will surrender after 3-4 missiles hit Moscow? Come on.

There’s a special place in hell for you

I don’t trust Reddit anymore, and to my knowledge Mozilla has always put user rights before corporate greed. Also Mozilla is a sort of non profit. So you’re gonna need more than anecdotes to change my mind.
