This is good news!

Oh I post all my stupidity publicly! What’s funny though is that you thought I was being serious.

Not only do I know that’s not how things works, I don’t even actually buy eggs. I have 4 hens in my backyard, so I get all my eggs from my own yard. I only have chicken feed during deep winter. The rest of the time they forage. So my eggs are pretty cheap. And organic.

Thanks, friend! :)

Well looks like that mayor disagrees with you and chose a different approach. And she’s a Democrat. More Democrats will see it and then they’ll adapt. So you better prepare for your coming annoyance. The Republicans don’t support you. And now more and more Democrats don’t either.

Hmmm, if only there were a third-party option. But nah, why change the status quo, right?

Looks like worshiping the duopoly hasn’t really worked out for ya’ll. Oh well.

Thanks, amiko!

I’m not cheering for facists; I’m cheering about Democrats’ (and Lemmy’s) significant losses in the recent election.

My experience prior to the election was crazy—I faced downvotes, jeers, false accusations of being a Russian agent, and was banned from several communities and an entire instance.

Why? Because just a few months ago, merely mentioning support for third parties would get you labeled as a fascist or a Nazi troll.

Ironic because now, dissatisfaction with the Democrats has made third-party discussions far more acceptable. But way different vibe just a few months ago.

My ban stemmed from sharing a Newsweek article about Trump’s rising poll numbers before the election, which led to hundreds of comments and DMs accusing both me and Newsweek of lying.

So when Trump won, confirming Newsweek’s reporting and vindicating my decision to post it, I laughed for a good 15 minutes at least.

Lemmy had turned into such an echo chamber that dissenting from Democrat adoration wasn’t tolerated.

After being banned, I thought about the importance of diversity of opinion—a value that should be upheld on Lemmy but wasn’t. In response, I joined other instances, created a few of my own instances under alt names and VPN’s (so that I won’t be silenced, not to ban-evade and troll), and I decided to share news about Trump amidst a barrage of anti-Trump coverage.

Me posting articles that present alternate viewpoints isn’t going to end the world.

So no, I’m not supporting fascists. I’m applauding the breakdown of the Democrat-led groupthink that dominates Lemmy.

For the record, I didn’t vote for Trump. I supported the Socialist Workers Party candidate, Rachele Fruit.

I’m still a socialist. It’s just now I’m anti-Democrat due to my Lemmy experiences.

By attempting to silence and ban me, Lemmy created my cause. Now, I’m determined to speak out more frequently and more loudly. Under this name and others.

So thanks for trying to silence me, Lemmy. Now I have a cause and won’t go away. You all should have just ignored me rather than try to get rid of me. :)

I have four hens in my backyard, so I have zero clue what eggs even should cost, since I get them from my own chickens.

I just found the article interesting. Guess we’ll find out. But I’m stoked to see what happens!

I like the Daily Mail.

Thanks, friend!

Funny how the Democrats who become more “Trump-like” become better. Hmmm…

What do you mean? This username is very lucky. It’s why I have it on so many instances.

And I’m glad you are proud of me. I really feel the love.

How’s the new year going with you? New president, new awesome direction. Fun, right?

Thanks, friend. I’ve been having a lot of luck since November. :)

No, you don’t. You used that expression as a passive-aggressive way to make me feel like I said something stupid.

You started this whole conversation by trying to insult me. But I’m not insulted at all. I love explaining the concept of the fediverse to echo-chamber lovers like you.

People like you make me glad Trump won. Because you deserve it. :)

I’m having good luck. Thanks, friend!

I’m no rebel. I’m a guy who retired early and has lots of time on my hands. And I celebrate diversity of opinion. You know, kind of like what the fediverse is supposed to stand for.

Don’t worry, you can definitely stick to your echo-chambers. Plenty of instances are all for that too!

Donkon, amiko!

Trump is blatantly violating the first amendment rights of federal employees. A business could fire someone for putting pronouns in their emails, the president however, cannot.

I disagree. But I guess we’ll find out what the courts say. Thanks, friend!

PTB

Is it true that the number of accounts you have is higher than your IQ?

Yes.

And I also started a bunch of instances because I can run off my own servers now.

But don’t worry, the new instances won’t be under the UniMonk name. Hmmm, I wonder what those names will be?! Meh, if I told you, that’d ruin the fun, right?!

Looks like I’m not going to go away. :)

Donkon, amiko!

Yep!

Yep, Boost is what I use too! Love it!

I’ll have more money to buy $12 eggs, because of all the federal crybabies who’ll quit because they’re mad that they have to actually do their jobs now. Tax refund, baby!!! :)

As in punished by going to jail. You won’t be thrown in jail for calling your boss an asshole (or even a “jerk”)–thanks to free speech. But you can def get fired for calling your boss an asshole or a jerk.

And plenty of people do.

If it were as cut-and-dry as you say, then people wouldn’t be fired for posting shit on facebook, even in an unofficial capacity. And that has happened under BOTH political parties.

I’m not arguing fair or not fair. I’m just saying how it’s interpreted by our legal system.
