    What’s most important is that you got to feel smug.

    What’s most important is not having every fucking instance other than .world hanging from a legal thread. Isn’t your instance based in the E fucking U? That’s not exactly the wild fucking west as far as legal requirements for hosts go.

    Believe it or not, I don’t want any of this shit going down. I’m not fucking 20, I’m not full of vim and vigor. I don’t get a fucking thrill out of fighting with people online anymore. I question why I stay in these communities when everyone seems content to play chicken on the railroad tracks.

          after two decades of unfettered internet access, I still love picking fights.

          maybe I’m just built different

        I find this hard to believe

        I find it tedious and miserable. I engage for the same reason I can’t leave trash on the floor - the inaction irritates me more than the tedious action. If I find trash on the floor constantly in a public area, I’m more likely to leave than become a super-cleaner.

      Man, that constant “I’m the only adult in the room” vibe you try to have is getting obnoxious old.

        Yeah, I fucking agree. It’s getting real old being the only adult in the room. I didn’t realize the admins of most Lemmy instances were just winging it, thinking “Well, when it comes crashing down, it comes crashing down 😊”

        Utter zero-foresight techbro shite. Jesus Christ.

          Sadly You’re not the real adult in the room. You’re just a smuglord who’s way too high on the smell of their own farts.

            Legit, I thought you took your instance more seriously than this. This is basic covering-your-ass shit.

              I am not inclined to seriously discuss our instance with people who act obnoxiously.

                Well, then I hope you find someone non-obnoxious to discuss it with. Because if you’re actually interested in dbzer0 as more than a hobbyist project that breaks when-it-breaks, being able to address and head off legal issues is core to the long-term survival of a site. Whereas acting like being wary of the laws of forces that absolutely can royally fuck your site is fundamentally unreasonable rather than a very real threat that must be addressed one way or another is a great way to get… well, royally fucked.

                    Exactly. Foucault argued that you can tell when a group has been subjugated, because they start to self-police according to the oppressor’s rules. From a liberal perspective, the state is desirable, so an individual internalizing and following the state’s laws is desirable.

                    But from an anarchist perspective, the state is oppressive (and especially so for a fascist state) so internalizing and following the state’s laws is tantamount to self-subjugation. And following the laws of a fascist state is acting in support of the fascist state.

                    I don’t think he does, I think he’s just your classic bootlicker who fundamentally is against everything that dbzer0 stands for, maybe us leftists as a whole too. After looking through his history I have a hard time believing he isn’t an alt-right troll.
