Because this is not censorship. You’re free to browse any defederated community. You’re not censored, they’re not censored. All the content is perfectly viewable on the fediverse.

Go join another instance. You can’t enter somebody else’s house and complain about how they don’t want to invite the neighbor over as well. That’s not censorship. Go to the neighbors house if you want to hang out with them.

But you’ve been explained this multiple times, so I’ll leave it at this. Ignorance is not bliss.

The word “censorship” has lost all meaning

Nowhere in that link does it say what you’re saying. Kbin was not named after the instance, but sbin. The instance is named after the gun because apparently it sounds nice in Polish.

Literally the first comment in the thread you linked sorted by Hot has a direct quote from the dev which contradicts your title.

If you’re not carrying cooked spaghetti in your pocket I don’t trust you.

The article touches briefly on it, essentially even though a minority wants these terrible policies, that minority are the GOP base and are generally single issue voters and religious. That minority has an outsized say due to gerrymandering. And there is also a feedback loop in this country where the GOP gerrymanders, they cut education and other social services, blame the “enemy” for the downturn in QOL for their constituents, and repeat. It solidifies the us vs them mentality that has these people voting against their own interests.

Obviously super simplified outlook on it since it is a very complex issue. Other people in the thread have explained better.

The reason they are able to do this comes down to gerrymandering.

I’ll second this. Learned this a long time ago. Anything you think you need on w3c schools can be found elsewhere.

Is it just me or is lemmy-ui broken in 0.18.4 docker image? When I upgraded my instance, the UI was not loading properly.

This comic is great because GOP voters would agree with it all without realizing the satire

Apparently, you have to live it

No truer words.

Are you not aware that “big sugar” is a massive offender of cherry picking data and funding studies that make their competition look bad? It’s a large contributor to the obesity problems of the Western world

Damn. What a legend

This will make the 3 people who actually used Cortana mildly disgruntled.

A lot of that is customizable in the settings

You don’t need a car in Brooklyn, but I am not wrong with what I said.

As you leave Manhattan the farther away you get the more you will see cars and the less you will see public transportation options. This is an inarguable fact. From the US Census, Staten Island has the highest amount of car ownership, only 16% of households in Staten Island did not have a car in 2021. 37% of Queens households did not have cars, 55% of Brooklyn did not have cars, 59% of the Bronx did not have cars. Maybe I should have said Staten Island and Queens instead of Brooklyn, but almost half the households have cars in Brooklyn.

In Manhattan, 76% of households do not have cars.

Many parts of Queens and Brooklyn are considered “underserved” by public transportation by the city and state governments and it is a very known equity issue in the city. Improvements have been made over the recent years, hopefully we will see the new Interborough Express completed.

Ha, it is definitely a local slang. People in outer boroughs will say “I’m going into the city for the day” if they are going into Manhattan, even though all the boroughs are “New York City” and mostly high density

I only heard of this recently… should I switch off Nova? What do I even switch to?

I’ve never used anything but Nova for years and years now.

Actually I live in NYC and often public transportation, especially bikes, are faster to get around Manhattan than car services. Outer boroughs need more infrastructure though. Places like Queens and Brooklyn as you get away from the city become harder to navigate without a car or car service and taxis can be rarer
