Just a smol with big opinions about AFVs and data science. The onlyfans link is a rickroll.

    IDK about the admins, but community mods in the lemmyverse can ban other users for whatever reason they want and that happens all the time (“serial downvoting” is the most common excuse I’ve seen, the pro-AI communities do it all the time to shore up the walls of their echo chambers…). At the admin level, .world notoriously rarely bans at the instance level, whereas .ml … does tend to do that, yeah.













  • In a broad sense sure, and that’s a great reason to use a VPN (especially if you listen to VPN ads on youtube)!

    It really isn’t a good reason in this example, though. At least, not as an explanation for setting your location to be outside of the US. Use of a VPN is identifiable (unless you set it up yourself, which isn’t anonymous) so it will make no difference where you’re located if the authoritarian government you’re supporting gets replaced with an even more authoritarian one that decides to prosecute people being mean to them online, and it can only serve to incriminate you if the data ever gets leaked (like what happened here).

    Generally this is true, but within the scope of this hypothetical it doesn’t really change that this fundementally doesn’t make sense.


  • No the troll kingdom has been at war with the lizard cabal for centuries, I’m very careful to never confuse the two groups.

    Seriously though I don’t think you’re trolling, I just think this question is kinda dumb. While there are reasons to use a VPN yes, you have yet to present a reason for why a huge number of legit US-based maga-influencer VPN users would want to set their location to something other than the US instead of just using a US node, which would be both faster and less suspicious.

    It’s just silly to think they’d be doing that, there legitimately isn’t a reason to pay money to do a less convincing job (unless this is a false flag)




  • And so is tweeting about a fire while in a crowded theater, but defamation/libel are famously hard to even show standing for, let alone prosecute. And they (oversimplifying) generally do not apply to speech critical of a public figure, which is why we can say things like “Stephen miller is a collective of sentient bugs stuffed into a skin suit made from stitched-together horse foreskins that’s embezzling millions of dollars that he then spends on underage sheep and recreational bidets” without worrying about legal repercussions.
