We need to stand together and protest Cults, propaganda, and capitalism. It's the reason why we are in this crap timeline. It's harmful to people and harmful to countries that tolerate it. It destroys everything and has more power than any nuclear threat.

This could not have been explained better. I hope that lemmy doesn't turn into another troll infestation.

I'm in the same boat. Nothing is worse than losing loved ones and an entire country to this cult. I wish that we could come together and take down the Cults and propaganda in the same way that we took action against Disney+.

They really don't care about the whole trans conspiracy. They just like the fact that they don't have to hide their hatred anymore. Our loved ones truly are victims of the cult. But they will have to want to leave the cult to get out of it and there's really not anything that we can do. This is why we should really unite together and force legislation to protect cult victims, children of cult victims, and anyone that the cult targets. Include the use of technology to promote cult activity in the legislation. If adults willingly seek out the cult, then allow them to do as they wish. However, if children are born to cult members, then the children should be removed from the home for their protection. I bet if we could get legislation passed then we could actually have a fighting chance for our loved ones.

I have thought about building my own platform as well. I joined lemmy thinking that it would be different but if it's going to be the same b******* then what is the point? I do believe a platform can exist where people don't have the same opinion on everything. But it's also important to define what a troll is. There's nothing wrong with downvoting. It just shows that people disagree with what someone has said. I also believe that there should be a third button where people can vote that someone is a troll. This is the button that should be used by moderators to review a user's account if they have a certain number of troll votes. I believe in freedom of speech but I also believe that one person's freedom ends where another person's freedom begins. Nobody has the freedom to violate another person's freedom. Threats and harassment should not be tolerated and should not be considered freedom of speech. Inciting violence is not freedom of speech. Spreading propaganda and targeting people who would otherwise not seek out this propaganda is not freedom of speech. The use of technology to manipulate information is not freedom of speech. Hate speech is not free speech. It's very easy to define what should be acceptable and what should be banned. The problem is that greed controls everything and that is why we cannot have nice things.

If lemmy doesn't want to do it then everyone should stand together and block them. We can force defederation.

Also, people buy cars to drive them. Deaths and injuries are not the purpose of a car.
