    They have asked for ALL social media as well, fuck 'em. There are are over 50 million people online saying they hate ICE and they can’t stop it. This is still about the Epstein files, Sascha’s Riley’s story still needs to hit the “State run media.” .

        Bots are not exclusively russian. In fact a minority of bots are ran by countries in the first place, most are run by monied interests. The american chemistry council, the nuclear whatever trade group, nestle and their ilk’s trade group, influence operations protecting the use of aspartame, pfas, fracking, oil in general, every harmful and hurtful business practice you can think of.

        After those businesses, the majority of the government ones are still ours ultimately, and to say bots misses the fact that they are mechanized trolls, and influence operations with bots, and now chatbots, llm chatbots of the new unreleased to the corporations or the public yet versions in areas where the US government is flipping the bill ultimately, like anything Israel related. Obviously the government contracts nearly all of that stuff out.

        Russia did/does meddle in our politics, they get us, know just how stupid we are, and how to play us, and have decided to help the group that was already near winning, the fascists, but most of the bots on reddit, or facebook, or anywhere else, aren’t russian even if they are on the same side, The Enemy is (mostly) Within.

    Wonder how busy reddit will be trying to kill the story that spez is a bootlicking fascist who will happily sell out his users to the gestapo he dearly loves.

      You got banned directly for flagging other users? I’ve never flagged anyone on any platform but that’s neither here nor there, I just get shitty back with them, and they try to get me banned.

        A user followed me from sub to sub to call me slurs, using alts when I blocked them so that they could continue. I reported them and got permabanned for “abusing the report button”. Everyone else in my household was then also kicked off the platform.

          That is weird. What was the user harassing you over, how did the argument start? Were you arguing about Israel?

            Started on a big meme sub. We disagreed about if Mario Kart World was overpriced. He went to my profile, found out I was trans, and got really mad.

              I wonder, was it after Luigi was framed for murder? Because it could be the auto system banned you ultimately for making a reference to killing the rich. I heard they went on a spree banning accounts. After it happened I was on reddit and enthusiastically joined in like it was a full time job and there was no reddit push back, but then a month or two later my account did get violations for seemingly unrelated reasons and after a break where I got back on there wasn’t a single post outside of pics where somehow I couldn’t contribute as nothing seemingly goes through, there was no luigi posts left.

              But I heard they did ban a bunch of accounts, and a lot of us were using all sorts of sort of ways to say we need to tune in and drop out and just find ways to play the new mario brothers game multiplayer. So it might be my fault, and my ilk, for you getting banned after that douchebad flagged you, and maybe got his whole crew of douchebags to flag you that seems like something a right wing gaming manfluencer subscriber would do.

              Such a dumb thing for the guy to get all up in arms about too. How much was the game?

                Game was eighty dollars, which I thought was too high. And, yeah, maybe a bot decided I meant the other Luigi.

                  80 is way high. What kind of asshole would take issue with someone thinking that was too high? Guy is a serious asshole. I remember paying 50 for Empire Total War, or more even I forget, and that was high, but that was over ten years back I forget. Previous total war games were like 30 if I recall, or less. And for that 50 plus dollars despite selling me a disk, I didn’t even have a copy of the game myself but was directed to steam that made me ask for permission to play it every time and constantly ran in the background of my computer, or tried to, and spied on me seemingly.

                  Apparently linux people like steam, idk about that, looking to join linux, if I buy a game, especially for a lot of money, I want a physical copy that I don’t need to ask for permission to play every time.
