It was good - hope to see you on Nostr.

If not, we will meet somewhere down the line again, I am sure.

No, Nostr is looking more promising.

But it’s bookmarked.

U ?

The potential for future growth being very limited, and people spending hundreds of dollars a year on the server (a price that will only go up) plus all the effort in posting content…

I see the reason to not continue here.

lol

btw, Casey, where do you recommend EH users go after this shuts down in less than a week?

I really appreciate that you care to come over and tell us your position, and this is key for me:

This isn’t really an issue as far as content and engagement is concerned thanks to federation, but it does mean we’re a very small fish that can be easily killed if we get defederated. We’re not big enough to survive under our own content steam, so if you do join, please try to keep this in mind.

Basically, you may be forced to moderate, and to ban really confrontational, in your face sort of posts that are derogatory to avoid defed… Which is fair.

I think I may come over to your instance and participate in some stuff, all in godo faith, all with no slurs or name-calling, as that is against my religion. ’

I’ll probably get a totally diff useranme, though. Be unrecognizable. I actually did this when coming over to EH (some wolfballers will remmeber my original name; like 1-2 people may remember my Discussions name… I don’t fully remember my discussions name, lol.)

These guys just discuss hack stuff it seems…?

Do you have any plans for yourself?

A great sign for the gang - just today my Gab here got a repost from Andrew Torba himself (who follows me, which is just wonderful).

I think we should play around with Nostr with the gang but… this is an auspicious start, my friends.

Thanks!

I also specifically really liked the reddit style format and thus the very nature of my posting will change in the new place lol

Oh well.

Not a bad thing but u know.

It’ll be different.

Kapow, honestly just got a little misty eyed for a minute. You are a champ. Just like master of balls.

Followed you on Nostr.

I know the admin and many other users have put a lot of time and effort here.

Let’s keep it up on Gab and Nostr.

BTW I have this weird thing where I don’t like to be super active on a dying site when the nostalgia is kicking me in the balls so expect a downturn in posts.

There is a point here because I am aware that famous internet personalities like Mustang Wanted have actually joined to fight in the Ukraine on behalf of Russia while also are opponents of Putin…

But it is the case here, IMO, where Navalny is supposed to more broadly support the Westernization of Russia and its membership in duh internashnul comunity or whatever, so I would suspect that Navalny is more astroturfed local opposition than is talked about.

But IDK.

Yes, they did, and I think they have tried to come up with long-term plans to keep funding Ukraine and NATO, which is not really the direction that they have wanted to actually go as a people at all.

Lol these guys take the bait more easily than fish with brains the size of cashews.

Honestly I think the reason is appealing to the increasingly powerful foreign film markets. That’s the big driver.

Plus there’s all these Asian American actors who think they’re creating the Asian American cultural narrative now, and studios are willing to give them small budgets to have Awkwafina and her gang tell some melancholic and pseuodoprofound story.

… Ok some of it is good but I also feel like it is way too ethnocentric.

This will be cited one day by an instance wanting to defederate as an example of our extreme bigotry.

Here is Marcuse, a famous cultural Marxist himself, talking about his generation reifying Marxism and bringing it into a modern context.

Decent Gottfried article on the topic.

Also check out this fun 21st century take on Bioleninism.

That’s cool

No prob at all

I’m also having this issue where I can never upload images or pictures as new threads successfully, whether it’s cut copy paste on a pc or uploading an image from either the pc or android phone

My most controversial take is that the animal rights movement is basically Ninety percent right. I eat as vegetarian as possible but I allow myself meat on like half the days but I try to minimize it.

I also have this other view… That mass production has actually ended up breaking the world economy. Certain countries are damned to be just resource harvesters and others get to reap all the benefits. Neocolonialism is a real phenomenon…and it’s bad.

So I actually have two views that alienate me from a lot of conservatives here…

But my views that alienate me from liberals… They’re more obvious. But not controversial in the context of history. Like telling the audience of humanity past, present, and future that it’s bad to cut your dick off or for men to take dicks in the ass or women to marry other women is about as controversial as announcing that “pissing in a glass and drinking it isn’t good.” yes, some Indians will disagree, but life be like that.

God bless this man - I pray for his salvation.

I am confident in God’s mercy and I believe that we will ge the best results for him.

Lord, have mercy on your servant, Dave.
