When sites no longer allow you to speak out against political figures, companies, or conflicts then its time to leave. They are no longer moderating a subreddit. They are moderation information as a whole. They get to pick n choose what you're allowed to rally around and rally against. Sites like lemmy are the next step to a free and fair internet.
Corporate has stolen our internet and our money. Its time to take it back. Federated and open source is the way we do it. Dont let the money tell us what we are allowed to talk about.
Yeah i dont know. I just wanted to post how much money i spent on private health insurance on my w2 to a working class oriented subreddit.
Roughly 11k minus my companies contribution... Which was roughly 13k. Total of 24k for a 3k deductible for my wife and i last year...not to metion, deductibles were seperate and max out of pocket was still 10k.
I posted this on 4 seperate "pro-working class" sub and every one was deleted by mods within 20 minutes. I started calling them out and reposting screenshots.... Then they banned me after an hour. During that hour i received insults and death threat comments.
Funny thing is the first post that was removed had 17 karma, 400 views, and 7 comments withing the first 15 minutes and were all very supportive.
