I have a 24 hour ban now on Facebook, already permanently banned on Twitter.

the reasons, I told someone he was a making an arse of himself, (apparently thats bullying) said arse was calling vegans thick and told me to "eat poo until I can taste it" and go F myself". but apparently I am the one bullying.

and 10 months earlier (but apparently this is counted now towards the ban) I used hate speech in a reply on a political thread saying that johnson said he would rip up the human rights act and create a British bill of rights and if the British people are stupid if they think it would be in their favour, decades of tory governments should have given the proles a clue.

btw I am british and I do think we are stupid, thats not hate speech its a fact, we have consistently voted to inflict misery on ourselves for decades, as if we never want anything to get better we never vote for the parties that offer hope, optimism, change.

anyway I have come to the conclusion social media isnt social at all, its just an advertisement platform they dont want any input more then a few silly emojis. I miss the internet how it used to be full of forums, where people could talk.

where did all the forums go? do you think we should bring back more forums separate to social media

@Theunamedcat

My entire DIY group got a ban we were discussing nailing things to walls as you do this got the group shut down so we tried again using # in place of letters

Even my animal crossing group uses w##ds instead of weeds its literally part of the game 😂

I haven't played AC in ages kinda got board with it after exactly 1 year. I did a double take when that was included i the first place with weed bags in the inventory sort of thing.

but then people talk about cannabis on FB all the time and do posts about it, they dont bat an eyelid at that.
