    We welcome new users! We’ve got a signup process to keep out spam, but it’s really basic. You just have to answer 3 questions and not have it be obviously AI slop. We’re generally pretty quick about approving new users, and if we’re not for some reason you can ping me, @jgrim@discuss.online or @lazyguru@discuss.online.

    We’ve got a welcome thread to point you in the right direction if you’re new to the discuss.online and/or the Fediverse: https://discuss.online/post/16318079. If chat is your thing, we’ve also got a chatroom at https://matrix.to/#/#online.discuss:discuss.online

    Lastly I’ll plug the !AskUSA@discuss.online community that I help mod as well. I just posted the weekly How was your week in the US? thread and asked how many geese everyone thinks they could take on.

      In the USA, Donald Trump knows how to reply to “hate speech”, but he never censors freedom of expression, even if he doesn’t agree with somebody’s statement.

      But in Europe, if anything doesn’t fall in with their official line, they put it under the category of “hate speech” and “disinformation”, and send it into oblivion.

        One of the first things Trump did as president this year was take away the White House press passes from journalists he disagreed with…

        He has been denying free speech (anything against him) since day 1. The only time he likes free speech is when it degrades other people and allows him to push lies/misinformation to the public.

            If I get blocked, oh well 🤷. Who knows what could be the thing that opens up someone’s eyes?

            I have a lot of family members that I was pretty close to before they started being MAGA fans in the past year or 2. Maybe it’s the optimist in me but I’d like to hope that people can realize how much widespread hate and damage Trump (and conservative media in general) is causing to the US.

              The fact that the account is less than a day old was the primary clue that they’re just part of a troll campaign. Guess they’re invading Lemmy now too.
