It was good - hope to see you on Nostr.

If not, we will meet somewhere down the line again, I am sure.

No, Nostr is looking more promising.

But it’s bookmarked.

U ?

I really appreciate that you care to come over and tell us your position, and this is key for me:

This isn’t really an issue as far as content and engagement is concerned thanks to federation, but it does mean we’re a very small fish that can be easily killed if we get defederated. We’re not big enough to survive under our own content steam, so if you do join, please try to keep this in mind.

Basically, you may be forced to moderate, and to ban really confrontational, in your face sort of posts that are derogatory to avoid defed… Which is fair.

I think I may come over to your instance and participate in some stuff, all in godo faith, all with no slurs or name-calling, as that is against my religion. ’

I’ll probably get a totally diff useranme, though. Be unrecognizable. I actually did this when coming over to EH (some wolfballers will remmeber my original name; like 1-2 people may remember my Discussions name… I don’t fully remember my discussions name, lol.)

Do you have any plans for yourself?

A great sign for the gang - just today my Gab here got a repost from Andrew Torba himself (who follows me, which is just wonderful).

I think we should play around with Nostr with the gang but… this is an auspicious start, my friends.

Lol these guys take the bait more easily than fish with brains the size of cashews.

This will be cited one day by an instance wanting to defederate as an example of our extreme bigotry.

God bless this man - I pray for his salvation.

I am confident in God’s mercy and I believe that we will ge the best results for him.

Lord, have mercy on your servant, Dave.

But the joke is claiming asylum.

Cubans and Venezuelans of specific backgrounds have good claims for asylum, but the average person arriving actually does not. They are what could be termed economic refugees. The fact that there is any process at all for Mexicans, El Salvadorans, Guatemalans, etc., to obtain asylum is silly…

There’s a better case that there are Germans and British people who need asylum for their rights to free speech being infringed upon by local tyrannical police.

There needs to be more funding for the courts to hear these cases quickly and for humane living conditions for these people with the burden shared among all states.

I appreciate you offering up this sort of suggestion - it is well intended, and it is the sort of thing that I would support fully since I think it is the the path of least resistance for making progress on this issue.

I do not want to come off as too overbearing - as I may have in the first half of the post - but I do feel strongly about this.

Thanks for a serious and good suggestion.

Also the laws need to be changed to make it easier to obtain work visas so they can work above board

Fully agreed here as well.

I think that we should actively be working to get Mexicans and central Americans to the US on good visas, and that visas should be awarded primarily to young people without criminal histories and who have graduated highschool which would incentivize prosocial behavior in those countries.

We do have some debt to central Americans since we have played insane games in those countries with the CIA for decades.

Not a bad campaign strategy - how else is he going to try to beat Trump?

The concept though, is pretty clear: the standing budgets of ICE and CBP are inadequate for what is occurring, but instead of increasing these during a crisis, they have spent over a $100 billion on the Ukraine war and are even spending billions through municipal and state budgets to accommodate illegal aliens instead of repatriating them.

Nostr looks very promising but I also feel it is one of those places that just functions better if you already have a group of people using it extensively.

We already have here so I have less inclination to try to just replicate all of our posting over there.

Boomer meme but it checks out.

Imagine actually thinking it is the mascot’s fault, though, lol…

“Our mascot mouse looks too young so peds came here…”

OH, OK…

The fact taht the mascot changed is hilarious.

You almost can’t blame him - this is perhaps one of the only things that’ll work for him.

Love the signoff of -Ruud-

I will just say:

• It would be ironic that there is nobody screaming about defederation over this. Of course I must be charitable and note that these are not exactly super mainstream posts it seems… But also I am not going to click around and consume this material. I don’t want to accidentally click on some stuff and scar my brain (the first post I clicked on had a LINK to somewhere that I AM NOT CLICKING).

• I think everyone has a right to free speech and so if they want to make these insane arguments… Let them. I am not going to say we need to give a platform to them or anything, but I am a free speech extremist. I don’t think people doing creepy or bad philosophy should be banned.

Well said

You just got to keep pointing out to everyone that Europeans have no idea how to do democracy.

Which is why they are committing suicide before our eyes… They are stupid in the Dietrich Bonhoeffer sense of the word, and have no inclination to live because the world is a dark place through the foggy window of their soul.
