    I defederated my instance outright. I got fed up after (yet another) smug person from .ml, this time insisting “the only way to respect Palestinians in the upcoming election is to not vote for either candidate.”

    I’m losing patience for smug people in general.

      Just had someone from .ml that was so stupid and shortsighted that they think handing the election to Trump will lead to less genocide, not more. It is genuinely hard to tell sometimes whether they’re actual fifth columnists or just rabidly, genuinely fucking stupid; but either way, very funny to poke with a stick from time to time.

        It might have been the same person. Given the strong favoritism to the CCP expressed by the instance operators, I’m not entirely unconvinced that such messaging isn’t intentional manipulation as part of the CCP’s election interference campaign (which from what I’ve seen favors Trump).

          Look I gotta pay my skyrocketing rent and its either open up an OF on the side (I have been informed that this would violate BDS so that’s off the table), selling blood plasma, or federal election interference.

          Xi actually personally signs the checks that they send to me biweekly for my high quality posting. 💅
