So after stumbling across this patently absurd bit of Russian propaganda from noagendasocial.com, I'd thought I'd stroll on over to the instance and see what the fuck is going on over there. After all, it's run by Adam Curry of MTV VJ fame and the so-called podfather, so it's gotta be just one bad apple, right?

Holy fuck, it's like walking into FSB propaganda machine made for Trumptards. That one bad apple is a power user with the top rated post, an anti-LGBTQ+ meme.

@adam what the absolute hell? You used to be cool when I was 8 and watching MTV. Did you lose your morality and ethics when you cut your hair?

Look at his feed. He's obviously a right-wing lunatic. noagendasocial is a known shithole of the fediverse.

And another childhood icon bites the dust...

Didn't realize noagendasocial already had a reputation, thanks for the heads up. Thankfully kbin can block by domain, but I'm vaguely curious to see if he'll respond.

What a disappointment my children have turned out to be.

Holy shit. Given the source, I think that's best praise I've ever gotten in my life. I'm gonna go put that on my profile. @TokyoMonsterTrucker hit me up if you wanna go grab a beer to celebrate.

Seriously though, Adam, you need to take a step back and realize what your toy has become - you're gonna end up with blood on your hands if you keep letting this hate spread. Maybe take a night off and watch The Fisher King - I think it speaks to someone in your position, and when you've got Robin Williams and Jeff Bridges in the cast, you know it's gonna be good.

EDIT: A month later, and it's become clear I'm the one of the few dozens on the Fediverse who actually remember who Adam Curry was. No point in wasting the real estate on my profile for a troll fading into obscurity.

Grow the fuck up.

Maturity means accepting that different opinions from your own will exist.

This does not mean you endorse them.

We are not a hive-mind like the Left, and may of us are pro-Uke.

Oh look, the stupids are angry and have come out to play.

Dude, you're literally hosting the propaganda of a Russian foreign agent peppered with flat out lies, antisemitism and anti-LGTBQ+ tropes. This isn't a left vs right issue, this is you are literally hosting a foreign agent of a country that's a declared enemy of the US and is committing genocide as we speak issue.

Grown-ups clean house kid, and yours should be condemned. There isn't any such thing as free speech in Russia - there's no reason to give them the right they actively deny to others. Read up on the paradox of tolerance - there's a video there if you're having trouble reading the big words. To give them a platform means you're just as complicit in their crimes as they are.

:"the stupids"

Yep, Redditor. I'm going to bookmark this post so that when you have a future "Redditor event" I can relive this moment. Typical events are:

* Rape conviction
* Child porn arrest
* Suicide
* Dehydration from constant masturbation

Blocked, kid. You ain't worth the air I'd expend responding.

Dude, that's a really stupid meme, not a counterpoint.
