Tough men don't tend to brag about their toughness and use it put down others. If you're so insecure that you make posts like this you're not nearly as tough as you think you are.

Weird how it's never the tankie instances doing the most blatantly authoritarian shit on Lemmy

"Sorry, my fat American fingers accidentally entered the wrong code, you understand."

Us living so rent free in your head that you'll talk about us in other instances isn't the own you think it is rofls

Also, great! You don't need us then, so go ahead and block us.

The resale market is precisely what they want to kill. Can't sell a game twice if one copy can be played by two people. Can't profit from nostalgia with a retro re-release (that will inevitably be shittier than the original) if the original retro game can still be played.

Yet even this nearly pointless action is still infinitely more than you will ever accomplish for your civil rights.

Well you and the subject of this post are the side supposedly against "all" censorship aren't you? Or was that just a motto when convenient?

Also we don't give a shit if we get censored by other instances or users, and we censor in return. Agree or disagree I think our logic around censoring/getting censored is mostly consistent here. Go ahead and block us, go ahead and get your instance and client to block us, you won't. Because then you wouldn't be able to fulfill your daily "hurr durr .ml hurr durr tankie" quota.

Predator that wipes out all their prey and then can't sustain themselves is one of the most common extinction stories. If you exceed the limits of the ecosystem you'll just die out, simple as that. Nature doesn't give a shit how much you think you're harming it because it's a mindless convergent system that will always optimise away abnormalities and find an equilibrium, with or without you.

People with this mentality decrease the overall fitness of our species.

The Federation president is probably passable. Though Star Trek really doesn't show how the Federation government is structured probably because they don't want to lean too much into the socialist undertones in case they get canceled (like actually canceled) for it.

Probably people who thought they could make an app with AI, realised it's not possible to make good software without actually learning how software is made, and never opened Cursor or whatever again.
