Please familiarize yourself with them


2) All posts must end with a '?'This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?


3) No spamPlease do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

Looking to be censored when the last of our democracy finally gives way?

Full URL for clicky goodness: https://discuss.online/

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.

You’re wasting your time responding to this obvious troll.

[–] kersploosh@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

he never censors freedom of expression,

I know you're trolling, but I'm going to respond because this is dangerous misinformation. The Trump administration is making a point of suppressing free speech and free expression. They openly brag about revoking legal residency status and deporting people who dare to state political opinions that the administration doesn't like.

@midwest.social is somewhere here in the Midwest 😉

[–] Docker@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

The name itself is illusionary. Check out the location of the hosting. It's hosted in Germany, but of course focussing primarily on the midwest !!
