It was good - hope to see you on Nostr.

If not, we will meet somewhere down the line again, I am sure.

No, Nostr is looking more promising.

But it’s bookmarked.

U ?

The potential for future growth being very limited, and people spending hundreds of dollars a year on the server (a price that will only go up) plus all the effort in posting content…

I see the reason to not continue here.

I really appreciate that you care to come over and tell us your position, and this is key for me:

This isn’t really an issue as far as content and engagement is concerned thanks to federation, but it does mean we’re a very small fish that can be easily killed if we get defederated. We’re not big enough to survive under our own content steam, so if you do join, please try to keep this in mind.

Basically, you may be forced to moderate, and to ban really confrontational, in your face sort of posts that are derogatory to avoid defed… Which is fair.

I think I may come over to your instance and participate in some stuff, all in godo faith, all with no slurs or name-calling, as that is against my religion. ’

I’ll probably get a totally diff useranme, though. Be unrecognizable. I actually did this when coming over to EH (some wolfballers will remmeber my original name; like 1-2 people may remember my Discussions name… I don’t fully remember my discussions name, lol.)

These guys just discuss hack stuff it seems…?

Do you have any plans for yourself?

A great sign for the gang - just today my Gab here got a repost from Andrew Torba himself (who follows me, which is just wonderful).

I think we should play around with Nostr with the gang but… this is an auspicious start, my friends.

Thanks!

Lol these guys take the bait more easily than fish with brains the size of cashews.

This will be cited one day by an instance wanting to defederate as an example of our extreme bigotry.

That’s cool

No prob at all

I’m also having this issue where I can never upload images or pictures as new threads successfully, whether it’s cut copy paste on a pc or uploading an image from either the pc or android phone

My most controversial take is that the animal rights movement is basically Ninety percent right. I eat as vegetarian as possible but I allow myself meat on like half the days but I try to minimize it.

I also have this other view… That mass production has actually ended up breaking the world economy. Certain countries are damned to be just resource harvesters and others get to reap all the benefits. Neocolonialism is a real phenomenon…and it’s bad.

So I actually have two views that alienate me from a lot of conservatives here…

But my views that alienate me from liberals… They’re more obvious. But not controversial in the context of history. Like telling the audience of humanity past, present, and future that it’s bad to cut your dick off or for men to take dicks in the ass or women to marry other women is about as controversial as announcing that “pissing in a glass and drinking it isn’t good.” yes, some Indians will disagree, but life be like that.

God bless this man - I pray for his salvation.

I am confident in God’s mercy and I believe that we will ge the best results for him.

Lord, have mercy on your servant, Dave.

But the joke is claiming asylum.

Cubans and Venezuelans of specific backgrounds have good claims for asylum, but the average person arriving actually does not. They are what could be termed economic refugees. The fact that there is any process at all for Mexicans, El Salvadorans, Guatemalans, etc., to obtain asylum is silly…

There’s a better case that there are Germans and British people who need asylum for their rights to free speech being infringed upon by local tyrannical police.

There needs to be more funding for the courts to hear these cases quickly and for humane living conditions for these people with the burden shared among all states.

I appreciate you offering up this sort of suggestion - it is well intended, and it is the sort of thing that I would support fully since I think it is the the path of least resistance for making progress on this issue.

I do not want to come off as too overbearing - as I may have in the first half of the post - but I do feel strongly about this.

Thanks for a serious and good suggestion.

Also the laws need to be changed to make it easier to obtain work visas so they can work above board

Fully agreed here as well.

I think that we should actively be working to get Mexicans and central Americans to the US on good visas, and that visas should be awarded primarily to young people without criminal histories and who have graduated highschool which would incentivize prosocial behavior in those countries.

We do have some debt to central Americans since we have played insane games in those countries with the CIA for decades.

I’ve been caught in eternity spins on more than a handful of posts and occasionally it has all been resolved when just trying to do it a second time.

I also found that, today, I am having no luck uploading pictures for posts.

Not a bad campaign strategy - how else is he going to try to beat Trump?

Honestly your Mexico idea is fun. Would spice things up.

The concept though, is pretty clear: the standing budgets of ICE and CBP are inadequate for what is occurring, but instead of increasing these during a crisis, they have spent over a $100 billion on the Ukraine war and are even spending billions through municipal and state budgets to accommodate illegal aliens instead of repatriating them.

Nostr looks very promising but I also feel it is one of those places that just functions better if you already have a group of people using it extensively.

We already have here so I have less inclination to try to just replicate all of our posting over there.

Boomer meme but it checks out.
