Ok so your issue is that police abuse their powers, powers that regular citizens do not have. I agree that’s a huge problem and it should be addressed regularly.

That has nothing to do with the discussion at hand though. Sovereign citizens live in la-la-land. There are no special hidden laws about “travelling vs driving” where you don’t need a drivers license to drive on public roads. There are laws that allow police to speed and go through red lights.

They REALLY do. What you call “situational allowances” are what we’re talking about. You can’t turn on some flashing lights and speed through red lights to get to a crime legally. They can.

Police have special powers that the rest of us don’t have. If they didn’t then police wouldn’t even exist.

who I have romantic feelings for

Ok yeh no, you need to either get some help or stop with this or it will make things even worse for you. You’re developing romantic feelings for a fictional character and an AI bot. There’s no possible way this ends well for you if you let it continue going the way it is.

Normal? No. A bad thing? Probably not, as long as you understand that it’s a fictional character and a machine generating responses to you, and not a real person.

If it works for you it works for you, but you need to be careful.

Police have special powers according to the law, so no, the same arguments don’t work.

You’re like one of the people who complains that all they see on X is porn, not knowing that what you’re saying is that you regularly searched for porn in the first place to the point where “the algorithm” learns that’s what they want to see so keeps feeding it to them.

The rest of us have never seen any porn, or Nazi shit, on X.

I just want Twitter without opinions I don’t agree with

Good moderation isn’t censorship, but let’s be real - good moderation by random volunteer internet users is rarely ever good moderation. Most of the time it’s just suppressing alternative viewpoints.

That’s no different to Reddit though, and it doesn’t work there. Everyone congregates on the “default” most populated subs/communities. Making a new one pretty much never works. It takes the previous one being closed or completely changed for any alternative to get any traction.

Let me check yours real quick…….oh wow, what a surprise - everyone you disagree with is a fascist.

In reality that’s not how mastodon or Lemmy or any other fediverse place work though, especially moderation wise. Your instances mods only control content on that instance, and you’re still at the mercy of the tyrannical mods on other instances. With the much smaller population on them, there are already “default” communities about topics that if/when you’re banned from them by some wannabe dictator ex-Reddit mod there’s nothing you can do, just the same as it was on Reddit.

Privacy has been sold as one of the big benefits of the fediverse, like it or not. I just mentioned that it isn’t private at all.

Topics aren’t banned, but certain sides opinions on topics are heavily moderated/censored.

Bluesky is for people that want Twitter to go back to the “progressive” highly moderated/censored hugbox that it was before Musk bought it. They don’t want decentralisation or any of the supposed privacy that brings (which isnt actual privacy anyway), they just want old Twitter where everyone agrees with each other cause they ban everyone that doesn’t. Bluesky is that because it’s a literal Twitter clone from the guy who made Twitter.

That’s irrelevant because there’s nothing they could find that would make it justified with the way it happened.

The premise of Michael’s tattoos was so much cooler than the actual execution and need for them. His tattoos were basically “here’s a tiny screwdriver shape in this giant demon”, “here’s a number that I could just have remembered but instead put it on a clock”, and so on.

Maybe read the conversation you’ve jumped into hey?

Them: “I’m a trans man”

Also them: “I have a penis”

Also them again: “I haven’t had surgery”

Me: “But you said you’re a trans man with a penis? Did you lie?”

Them: “My clitoris grew a bit from the synthetic hormones”

So they don’t have a penis, despite saying they have a penis……yet……… I’m ……… a piece of shit? That sure is a head scratcher.

Also for someone who said they don’t want to talk to me, you’ve replied to me a few too many times since.

The evidence? You called your testosterone enlarged clitoris a penis lol. You cannot claim to understand biology in any way after that.
