this is exactly why section 230 exists. sites aren't responsible for what other people post and they are allowed to moderate however they want.

the law that protected concerted organizing activity is the same that took the teeth out of the unions. i want to see that law abolished, but i'm an anarchist, so i want them all gone.
- Comment on Users ditch Glassdoor, stunned by site adding real names without consent 1 month ago:
concerted organizing activity is protected under the law. talking about it with your boss yourself is not organizing activity. talking about it with a coworker in front of your boss is.
this is what a job journal is for. it would prove what happened.

this seems unlikely.
- Comment on Lemmy.world seems to have banned the largest piracy community on Lemmy. 1 month ago:
the dbzer0 piracy community has been around much longer than most of the users here. they spun up when they saw the writing on the wall, and they permit things that would not be permitted on reddit. and, it seems, they permit things that are not permitted on .world.
but the instance is still there. the community is still there.
and you can leave .world, join an instance that hasn't banned !piracy, and keep right on going.

hey i looked up wumao and i was right. you were just pigeonholing.
if you can't engage in honest conversation without accusations of shilling, you might find a great experience on facebook, x (formerly twitter), or reddit. the youtube comment section might fit your style, as well.

tiktok and Facebook use in the US have nothing to do with anything you are rambling about.
Facebook manufactures consent for the military industrial complex and capitalist interests and since it is not overtly controlled by Lockheed or the Pentagon, it's propaganda is more sinister. at least you know who pulls the strings at tiktok

- Comment on Reddit started doing what they always wanted to do, sell user content to AI. 2 months ago:
spez says that's how he got reddit off the ground in the first place: faking content/engagement (well, genuinely engaging with his account(s?), but essentially shouting into the void and hoping enough people heard and wanted to stick around.
with a RedditUserBot trained on reddit users, you might be able to fake another decade of growth.

with modern science, we have learned that the prefrontal cortex hasn't fully developed until around age 25. does that mean you're a child at 24? no. but you are adolescent, and we should have some cognizance about that
