That would just be an endless game of whack-a-mole given just how many instances there are, and how easy it is to just set up another instance immediately.

There’s 120 guns per 100 people in the US, a huge veteran population with combat training, most of them armed, multiple armed paramilitaries, militia groups, and a large number of people with military-grade munitions and equipment all over the nation. As the old quote goes, “behind every blade of grass, a gun”. It only takes about 3.5%. And there’s only a few million people in the government, and 300 million disgruntled individuals, many of whom know the exact tactics, exact procedures, cryptographic codes, techniques and practices of infantry, marines, special forces, SWAT, police, the DHS and ICE. Not to mention, disgruntled active-duty servicemembers on the inside - the “insider threat” they keep lecturing us about.

- Comment on Filing: DOGE broke Treasury policy with unencrypted email 5 weeks ago:
The tree of liberty must at times be watered with the blood of patriots. What is the Second Amendment for, if not for moments such as this? “But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”
- Comment on Filing: DOGE broke Treasury policy with unencrypted email 5 weeks ago:
It’s being blocked from the main pages of every mainstream American media source, including social media and mainstream “alternative media”, usually relegated to the second or third page, but you can usually see it on !politics@lemmy.world, !news@lemmy.world, and !50501@piefed.social as well as on Mastodon. There’s millions of people protesting, tens of thousands at some places.

I wonder how they got that one judge’s daughter’s tax records with full name, place of employment and real signature.

- Comment on Gulf of Make a Report to Apple 2 months ago:
Unfortunately, the reality is that OSM (what Organic Maps gets its data from) is volunteer-run, and most likely nobody’s gotten to the bus stops near you yet. The GOOD news is that OSM is easily editable with something like Street Complete on Android, Open Stop on either iOS or Android, or from the comfort of your home on www.openstreetmap.org . There’s other apps too, like EveryDoor and GoMap!! for iOS and Mac. If there’s something missing, please feel free to add it, and get in touch with others in your area to help contribute! I’ve done my own share of updating outdated places, adding new locations, and annotating stuff like street lighting, street surfaces, and so on.
- Comment on Google plans AI browser assistant "Jarvis" to automate web tasks. 5 months ago:
I personally like baresearch.org and SearXNG.site and switch hqcobajd forth if either gets temporarily suspended for making too many requests. I also saw a tutorial on YT on how to set up your own instance if you’re not on mobile. I do highly recommend still using ublacklist alongside SearXNG, since that helps block all the SEO spam and listicles.

Have you tried uBlacklist and SearXNG?

In that case, what is the line between “simply” hate speech and actual radicalization to terroristic acts and/or conspiracy to terroristic acts and/or incitement to terroristic acts? At what point does it stop being “someone should [violent act] the [slur]s” and become “I bought a gun and several mags and have been practicing for the [dogwhistle mass violence event], let’s [violent act] the [slur]s”? At what point does it stop being 4chan trolling and become all but admitting intention to commit the Christchurch shooting? A Stormfront discussion forum becoming outright planning for and incitement to a Jan 6th riot?

I have Linux Mint installed with the Windows theme and Windows style cursor. It looks almost identical to Windows. A screenshot of a Linux Mint desktop themed to look like Windows 10. three open windows showcase Steam, the file manager, and Firefox opened to YouTube.

How about incitements to violence and outright explicit disinformation/misinformation, like:
- [group] should be [violent act]
- [group] are [dehumanizing pejorative] that deserve [violent act]
- [dogwhistle for the actual Nazis, like the 14 words, terminology specifically referencing the Final Solution, etc]
- [hard r] are [extreme dehumanizing pejorative] and don’t deserve [human rights]
- [violent or repulsive act] the [slur]
- “Despite only making up 13%…”
- “Whites create and forget, [slur]s copy and remember…”

There’s extensions to export all your open tabs and then a similar extension to import those tabs and open them as a session in Firefox. Source: I, too, have a million tabs open at every moment, and had to do that to transition myself. Same for exporting/importing passwords.
