Wait, so why wouldn’t they (and others trump goes after) be willing to cave without a fight?

We just watched them cave immediately without a fight, and then revert their decision after having “thoughtful conversations” behind the scenes that we’re not privy to.

We haven’t seen any victory, any pushback against this trampling of free speech, any principled disagreement. We’ve seen an immediate kowtowing.

I don’t know what those conversations behind the scenes entailed. I don’t know the future. But I’m going to predict the show that gets returned to air will be (even more) neutered. They won’t upset the administration again.

Lol, and now we get to watch everybody buy their memberships again and the company will move forward like nothing ever happened.

Honestly I find their use of “dogpile” very offensive. A pile of dogs?? How rude. Besides which, my sister is a complete and utter dog and I don’t believe the mod in question has any right to talk about her hemerrhoids that way.

Personally, I block people who espouse things I believe are genuinely spiteful, hateful, or shitty. Generally, I use the block button to “curate” my experience with the intention that I can use Lemmy as brief escapism when I’m in the bathroom or on the train without having my mood affected by somebody posting something shitty.

I don’t block anyone for normal disagreements, because I’m a relatively normal adult and as such that sort of thing doesn’t bother me.

I get the vibe that you’re very young. And feminine, but probably amab (unsure of how you identify).

Yeah looking at his Wikipedia entry as well as his original tweet, he deffo supported his wife and the MarchForLife. Seemed like his response to the backlash was a sort of weasely “we have faith and believe separation of church and state is important” without addressing the actual problem. Not good.

What, was he?

That’s so good to hear! What’s the role?

It’s blatant satire, doesn’t pass the sniff test - it’s too obvious. Funny tho!
