    Yep. I know that may make you mad, but I’ll keep advocating 3rd party.

    I was pushing third-party voting before it was “cool.” Now a lot more of Lemmy’s fine with it, mostly because people are fed up with both major parties. But I was saying it before the election.

    Back then people here lost their shit. They claimed I was a pro-Trump Russian troll sitting in a warehouse, typing on Lemmy (!) to dodge the front lines of the war. One guy, who later turned into a stalker, even said I was getting paid in “Russian bitcoinz.” Many said that I was on Trumps campaign. lmao

    They swore I was only pushing third-party votes to swing the election. That makes no sense. First, Lemmy isn’t big enough to sway any national race. Second, even if every single person who supported a third party had voted for Harris, she still would have lost. The margin of Trump voters and non-voters was too wide.

    Do I think Trump is better than Harris? No. That’s why I didn’t vote for him.

    I voted Socialist Workers Party. I considered the Green Party at first, but the SWP fit my beliefs better. And before anyone calls me a “Tankie,” I don’t even know what a tankie is. I backed SWP because their platform was pro–workers’ rights, plain and simple.

    In fact, I created the Socialist Workers Party lemmy community BEFORE the election in 2024. Here’s proof: !swp@sh.itjust.works

    All my posts on .world are still there. My post history here is still here. I also have a community where I post news links from any news source of any political leanings. But by far, most of my posting are and always have been pro-union and pro-workers rights articles.

    I’ve also had articles published in the Socialist Workers Party newspaper and other pro-union publications, but somehow Lemmy still says I’m pro-Trump. All because I didn’t bow down to the Biden/Harris Lemmy bullies. LMAO

    Was never 100’s of communities. In fact, I think they are still up.

    .world people were actually mad because I advocated voting third party. I voted Socialist party and you all got mad because you think it caused Trump to win.

    Which is hilarious, because even if every single third party voter would have voted Harris, Trump still would have won. That’s how big his margin was. lol

    And you are still salty. And I still stand behind my vote and will vote third party in the next election too.

    Thanks, friend! :)

    but even before Musk took over it was ALWAYS a fundamentally negative force.

    Yep! What’s hilarious to me is that so many people would post how much they hated Twitter, how it was ruining society, etc. Then Musk gets it, then all of a sudden people say they are gonna stop using it. Ok, well you hated it just as much before, but now you are not gonna use it?

    Also, they didn’t stop using it. The platform didn’t die, like everyone gleefully predicted, and it’s still sucks. It sucks equally as bad as before Musk.

    I quit twitter long before Musk, and never got back on.

    Lemmy is quickly becoming the same way. People have started entire threads in different forums to try to get me banned from Lemmy, just because they don’t agree with me. Rather than just be mad at me and block me, they legit go to other threads, and even call out admins, in an effort to get me banned from every instance.

    All because I didn’t vote the way they wanted me! lolol

    I still prefer Lemmy to Reddit though!

    Good for you, brother! Stay strong. I’ve stayed drug-free/alcohol free my entire life, but only because I’ve watched loved ones go thru addiction, so I realize how tough it is. The fact that you got out of it after so long, is a major accomplishment. Good on ya, mate.

    Addiction is not a joke people.

    This is why I hate to see how casual Lemmy is about drugs and alcohol. Some actually brag about posing while high or drunk–and then get a shitton of upvotes for it. They don’t realize how quick it happens. and how addiction doesn’t care who you are. It can happen to anyone.

    Greed has altered the course of life many times over.

    I continually fight this myself. I made a fair amount of profit in crypto, but I 100 percent realize that it’s just blind luck. I like the idea of it and I love the news about it, so it’s very difficult for me to not to go 100 percent in every time I see a trend!

    So far, I’ve resisted the urge to go to crazy with it, but ugh, it’s tough . And I lie to my gf and tell her that I just follow, but don’t invest. So I’m pretty much the kind of asshole that I grew up despising. lol

    I’ve never invested more than I can afford to lose, and cash out the minute I make a little profit. But I can see how addicting it is and how easily some people could fall off the cliff.
