Here's the backstory. I got permabanned for hate speech in r/politics on reddit.

LOL

Agree or disagree with what he says, OP is blind so you have to just smile and pat him on the head patronizingly. Because you respect disabled people.

Actually some interesting tidbits here, if you don't mind that the guy's blind:

Did I mention he's blind? I love blind people.

I've added 'sighted' to my Twitter bio, just to prove to everyone how much of an ally I am.

Now blind people can't say sh-t to me.

If you don't have 'sighted' in your Twitter bio, you're a bad person.

"I've added 'sighted' to my Twitter bio, just to prove to everyone how much of an ally I am." Haha, I see what you did there. We poor benighted blind folk thank you for your performative social justice. On behalf of the blind, I offer you a "braille pass"; you can tell all the Helen Keller jokes you want and we won't cancel you. · 1 month ago

Re: reddit being a Leftist platform, the problem is that the US Left was metaphorically murdered and hacked into itty bitty pieces in the 60s, and the psychotic axe-murderer who killed it was named "the personal is political". And so now we have a "cultural right" and a "cultural left", two armies of shock troops being set at one another's throats by the oligarchs who are robbing them blind. · 1 month ago

Ofc it's silly to expect your opinions to be heard on hecking reddit of all places. It's a leftist platform, if they don't like what they see, you're gone, plain and simple. And from their pov, since you hold these harmful opinions, you're not really even a human, so they don't even feel bad about any of this. More like a pest control really. · 1 month ago

Uhm, what? I'm not familiar with this guy, but I will say that disability does not mean you can't call people out for being dicks, and I am saying this as one of those people with pronouns in bio. · 1 month ago

It's funny how people who know things get banned and censored by people with pronouns in their bios. They live in nations corrupted by international capital, brainwashed 24/7 by nonstop propaganda, seduced into online political bubbles, turned into unwitting zombie propagandists on social media, spied on from every device especially the ubiquitous cell phone -- "but totalitarianism doesn't exist in 2024" -- while a proxy war between nuclear powers rages -- "but there is no war".

Gemini isn't the place for such conversations. In Geminispace we talk about autonomous flying watches controlled by ham radio. · 1 month ago

I unironically love this guy:

In late December / early January, I wasted 4 hours of my life trying to buy a thing on ebay. The only thing that worked was Edge in a Windows VM.
This kind of thing happens routinely. It is one of the reasons why I refuse to work.
