i live in a small college town and im too old to be hip enough to join or form a reading group in the normal age range in this town.

can I join yours?

if it meets in jitsi or signal or zoom, I would love to join, if you'll have me.

I think my last anarchist reading group was 10 years ago, and we read crimethinc's ABCs of anarchism.

I've been to some study sessions with maoists and leninists, but I really want to hang out with anarchists, even if it's only virtually.

before i made an account, i reached out to the chief admin of lemmy.dbzer0.com

i was recently banned during a discussion on the validity of a claim regarding the consensus about the safety of a vegan diet:

and, if you bother to go find that discussion, you'll find that, in fact, my interlocutor did become incivil. i did report that. and somehow, my discussion and the subsequent report were the basis of a ban.

it was less than 2 hours. it's almost not worth discussing.

but given my pre-application discussion, i felt strongly that my conduct is within the bounds of the acceptable use of the instance. so if my conduct is not within the acceptable use, that means i basically cant use my account(s) as i planned and under the terms which i agreed.

db0 has said he doesn't want to be the benevolent dictator for life, and has specifically both recused himself from ruling on my conduct and encouraged me to post here and in !div0_governance@lemmy.dbzer0.com (though i'm still holding off on that for now).

so, did i deserve it? power tripping bastard? what do you think?

itt: liberals, liberals everywhere

kamala Harris, as a da, locked people up and refused parole to keep them as slaves fighting fires.

mod says it's misinfo (probably without fact checking) and removes the comment

update:

idk how I was doing mod abuse

they made cool workout posters, and still do, but I think they got dmca'd in 2016. the superheroes are all gone.

navigating archive. org is slow and often leads to "no hotlinking" and unavailable Google drive PDFs.

anyone got these stocked somewhere?
