Yeah I agree I could have avoided the disparagement, but I felt like being succinct vs. writing an entire diatribe cataloging the myriad curses brought upon the fediverse by h*xbear.
“Douche canoe” is an insult, but it’s not a slur. Slurs are more than simply offensive language. Slurs are more deeply harmful. Think the n-word or f-slur, for instance.
Yeah I know what you’re saying. It was a similar experience for me. The hexbears were being raging douche canoes unchecked, yet I got banned.

- Be respectful, especially when disagreeing. Everyone should feel welcome here.
I’m not taking sides here, and I’m not trying to be holier-than-thou since I’ve been banned for saying some pointed things about hexbear users, but this is why.
I agree. There are far too many people with the “if I’m not doing anything wrong, then what have I to hide?” mindset. I’ve seen people unironically say that all Tor users must be engaging in illegal activity, and I don’t think it occurs to them that in many parts of the world, freely accessing information is an illegal activity, and by adopting this mindset we’re empowering that type of state.
It’s their choice, and I would simply not use YouTube. Access to YouTube specifically is not very concerning to me.
But if they try to normalize this or even attempt to influence legislators that adblockers should be restricted in any way by law, then I would be concerned, and for this reason I think it’s important to articulate right now that there is nothing inherently wrong or unethical about using an adblocker.
This makes me sad. My brother and his wife always tracked my niece and nephew, and I feel like it did more harm than good. I remember agreeing to drive my nephew to buy fireworks, and on the way home I swung by Target to pick up my best friend a gift for his wedding, and my sister in law called my nephew and threatened to take his phone away because he wasn’t where he said he was going. Granted, I could have called, but it was a quick stop, and I didn’t know at the time they were watching him 24/7.
This is actually actor Jerry Messing, who played Pugsley Addams in the movie “Addams Family Values.”
The famous shot is from a photoshoot he did in an attempt to revitalize his acting career, inspired by Blues Brothers.
Iirc he doesn’t care for the meme, but he’s chill about it.
Iirc he’s a pretty down-to-earth dude and probably not an incel.

None of this is a critique of ideologies like syndicalism and anarcho-communism, so it’s still a pretty ignorant meme that conflates Soviet communism with all forms of communism.
None of this disproves what people like Peter Kropotkin and Emma Goldman were writing about, whose worldviews do not disenfranchise such groups.
I also heartily disagree with your take about private farms. The options you think you have with “private property” are a scam.
I’ve never understood how this is supposed to be some big own to communism. You’d still refer to it as “my farm,” even as I refer to the community where I live as “my city” and the jobs I’ve worked to benefit some capitalist bozo as “my job.” This is even worse than Ben Shapiro popping out of a well. In many ways, I think I’d feel more ownership as part of a community vs. the facade of “private property.”
So far, I find Mint massively less frustrating to use than Windows. It feels faster, too.
Windows is so full of bullshittery, it’s not even funny.
