Guessing it would end up being like this



Copy/pasting an old comment of mine:
The Luddites were a 19th century guerrilla movement that smashed textile machines, burned factories and threatened their owners. But they were not motivated by a fear of technology […]
the luddites […] were engaged in the most science-fictional exercise imaginable – asking not what a technology does, but who it does it to and who it does it for.
The Luddites, you see, were skilled weavers whose intense physical labor produced the textiles that clothed the nation. The difficulty of their trade – both in terms of esoteric knowledge and physical prowess – allowed them to command high wages and good working conditions.
All that was threatened by the advent of textile machines, which produced more fabric in less time, and required less skill. The owners of textile factories bought these machines with profits derived from the weavers’ labor, and then used those machines to grind down the weavers. Their hours got longer, their pay got shorter, and many of them were maimed or killed by the new machines.
Weaving engines are ingenious and delightful machines. The Luddites had no beef with the machines – their cause was the social relations that governed those machines. By painting Luddites as mere technophobes, we strip ourselves of the ability to learn from history. The lesson of the Industrial Revolution is that merely asking what a machine does and not who it does it for and to can lead to literal genocide.


The situation for rojava isn’t looking great right now.


Irl they’d just refuse to leave, and maybe shoot your dog.

Incomprehensible.


It’s easy to become a member of antifa, all you need to do is criticize the fascists.


if you crush them, or flatten them, they don’t sting.


Hey, there’s some of that in my garden!
It’s growing right next to some giant hogweed though.


I recently found out you can eat nettles (the ones that sting you), and they actually taste nice.
lots of iron in them

I was banned by an admin of lemmy.ca, I wouldn’t consider them a random moderator.

If you have a link to the post on the original instance, you can put it in the search bar of your instance to fetch it.

Thanks for responding,
Once or twice (potentially depending on circumstances) could be waved as an accident. As exhibited by the screenshot provided above, logging into 4 different accounts to upvote the same post accidentally I don’t believe for a goddamn second.
That’s not what I was saying at all, I did vote intentionally with the alts on 2 posts, but I could have done it once or twice without realising it.
Those 2 were the only posts I have (intentionally) done anything deceptive with and I have removed the offending votes.

No?
I give them all the same name and profile picture because it seems deceptive not to.

I don’t think the rules shouldn’t apply to me, and I would understand if the admins here don’t want to unban me. I’m making this post because I’m hoping providing some additional context, and removing the offending votes would be enough to get me unbanned.
Also: as an anarchist, anarchism isn’t a lack of rules, it’s for the abolishment of hierarchy. An anarchist society would absolutely have rules.

I mean, lemmy.ca doesn’t have a rule against vote manipulation, and what I did was pretty inconsequential.
I may be able to play stardew valley online with the code system if Galaxy gets released for Linux. The code system requires you to have either steam or Galaxy, and I bought the game on gog.
