Not sure why everyone is saying to not give the invite all I can see is comments about free speech and such and that is true we all have freedom of speech under the constitution?? Confused.

Critical thinking is hindered with group think. Thanks for objectively reviewing my comment history.

I encourage everyone considering sending the invite to review OP's comment history. I was about to share one but yikes.

[–] weaponG@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago

If that is how you evaluate individuals, I wouldn't accept the invite. Principle means more than some invite to an indexer.

We may not all think alike or obtain the same Linux ISOs. I am okay with that and feel we all should be okay with differing opinions and viewpoints, especially in a secular society.

I defended the comedian Dave Chapelle and questioned the term "toxic masculinity" in 2 posts which lead to a long (and apparently scrutinized) comment history.

Based comment history. If I had any invites left I would have given it to you. I can't stand people who stalk people's comment history. It's friggin stupid

Thanks. We reached that dystopian part where people are judged based on their social credits and "likability" and conformance index to the masses.

It's truly insane.

I expect to be held liable for people I invite to other people's places, therefore I don't invite randos or people that have proven to have little regard for others.

[–] weaponG@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago

Invitations and referrals do carry liability. However, I would say that if you have a differing opinion, others attack with little regard. The "mob mentality" is inert and affluent in social media. Then you are left to defend your differing viewpoint, leaving a trail of more dissenting comments which are also attacked to the nth degree. I honestly thought this federated experiment would be different. I was wrong.

Any chance I could get one off of you? I have been waiting for a post for open sign ups haha. I don't mind not having it since I have 2 other indexers so not really in a rush for it.

[–] misk@sopuli.xyz 0 points 5 months ago

I have plenty of invites so that's no problem, just send me your email over PM.
