As a free-thinking, free-speaking American...


how can we get around the limits that the censorship of social media sets for us?

reply

Avoid social media entirely.
Nobody wants to see your ugly drooling baby or what you had for dinner anyway.

reply

I MIGHT WATCH IF THOSE TWO THINGS WERE THE SAME VIDEO.🙂

reply

Yes, I’ve been saying it for years.
Ugly, annoying people should be barbecued. It all just tastes like pork really and I run a discreet BBQ stand out beside my decrepit Hotel down by the highway.


‘It takes all kinds of critters to make Uncle Vincent’s fritters!’

reply

My free thought has nothing to do with drooling babies, I promise you. And I can't even cook. So...
Are people's beliefs (eh-hem) so flaccid they can't stand up to discussion? Because the last thing I want to talk about is Madonna or babies. Plus I'm good for business. Let's go.

reply

That made very little sense.
Welcome to MC.

Indeed

Noted.

FOLLOW THE RULES...LIFE HAS RULES...SOME WRITTEN...SOME UNWRITTEN...DESPITE THE CURRENT FAD OF KEYBOARD WARRIORS FIGHTING FOR THEIR FREEDOM TO SAY THINGS THAT REALLY DON'T NEED TO BE SAID.

reply

Whose rules? Yours? Good thing floridaman is making the calls on what is appropriate and what isn't.

reply

NO CLUE WHAT YOU ARE SAYING...BUT YES...LIFE HAS RULES...LIKE IT OR NOT.

reply

This BoysDontCry guy seems unhinged.

He might be a lot of fun👍

reply

The name tells me he's a transman.

reply

If he wants to joke around and be funny I’m cool if he has ALL the plumbing.

reply

Well the movie was about a transman. Not sure what kinda plumbing he has.

reply

What I'm gathering from that is that the things you want to say are pretty offensive and you keep getting banned form social media sites.

The remedy is to pick the forums of like minded people , the little corners of the net where they all gather in covens to spur each other on and talk bullshit.

Like Donald's Truth network. (I'm not saying thats your forte , thats just a "for example" where a lot of magas can live in fantasy land uninterrupted)

.. either that , or the politics page on this site, which is very accommodating re censorship

reply

This is terrible advice. Your assumptions about me are wrong, and if people are offended by my opinions then that would be their problem, not mine.
To only converse with people that agree with me would be futile. I would learn nothing and neither would they.
Discussion and debate with others is a great way to learn and grow.
If you are an American then you should be ashamed of yourself. Healthy debate is what our country and constitution was founded on.
My advice to you is don't be so quick to generalize and categorize people. We are all free-thinking individuals.

reply

Most people can do all that healthy debate stuff and discuss their differing opinions, and grow their minds and all that other good stuff you said...

Without falling foul of the "social media censorship" you mentioned trying to circumvent, by which I can only assume you mean your thoughts get deleted due to "offensive content" or misinformation, or libel or some other breach of whatever sites terms and conditions.

What was it you wanted to talk about? What is the subject that you have preciously been "censored" on?

reply

Most members would agree that the standard of this forum are reasonable and the Mods maintain the rules consistently. If you has been censored, my advice to you is "Think wisely and speak responsibly", will you?

reply

Speak responsibly? I'm not sure what you mean by that. Please elaborate.

reply

It's general advice and you may just take it literally. My hard pass on elaborating. Your journey, your insight.

reply

What do you mean by limits? The internet is pretty much a free-for-all, there's just consequences to actions and words online as there are irl, that's it. What are you saying that's getting censored?

reply

Too vague - what would you like to say?

reply

Everything I think. It often gets me in trouble.

reply

Still too vague - like what?

reply

Your question is too vague. What would you like to know andyking? I'll tell you what I think.

reply

Ok, you asked, “how can we get around the limits that the censorship of social media sets for us?”

My question is, what limits in particular?

reply

NO...NO...NO...NO...YOU DO NOT TELL ANDYKING ANYTHING...ANDYKING DOES THE TELLING.

reply

What in particular are you being censored on?

The site standards here are pretty fair.

Prohibited Content:
Pornography, adult or mature content
Content that threatens or advocates for harm on oneself or others, or otherwise violent content
Content that harasses, intimidates or bullies an individual or group of individuals
Content that incites hatred against, promotes discrimination of, or disparages an individual or group on the basis of their race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, age, nationality, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, or other characteristic that is associated with systemic discrimination or marginalization
Excessive profanity
Hacking/cracking content
Malware, adware, or other malicious software or content
Illicit drugs and drug paraphernalia content
Content protected by copyright law unless you have the necessary legal rights to display that content. This includes pirated content, such as illegal torrents and streaming websites
Personal and confidential information, such as another user's name or contact information, unless you have express consent to post that information
Any other content that is illegal, promotes illegal activity or infringes on the legal rights of others


What is it here that you feel is limiting to you?

reply

Just be grateful that, at least for the time being, this site hasn’t censored you for daring to even ask that question. Although, it wouldn’t surprise me if such things eventually (soon?) happen as well.
