While I agree with everything you say, my ancestors’ generational trauma can still be seen today, and nothing has changed. We are supposed to take the moral high ground, but time and time again, nothing changes. The one thing I cannot agree with is the concept that some of these people have redeemable qualities. That being said, they were dubbed the Goon Squad, which means they are one of these off-the-rails “tactical” task forces that can and do anything to get the results they want. This mirrors the Scorpion Squad that beat that man to death, where they took pictures of his bloodied, unrecognizable body to their friends. I hate to say it, but cases like this are not new or uncommon. The only difference is that we have ways to expose the atrocities of our so-called civil servants, since we control the flow of information outside of the mainstream media to an extent. I have so many conflicting thoughts on how to best deal with monsters like these but I guess I can’t disagree with your thoughts.

6 months ago they locked him in a hospital room and prevented his family and attorney to talk to him by having a officer outside his hospital room for “reasons”. They hoped he would die and it would all go away.

Hey, so I’m a nobody but I always have something to say and here are some things for you to think about.

Yeah, you’re frustrated and it’s clear that you’re concerned about the health of the fediverse, and that’s a good attitude. Just know that I can’t speak for .world admins, but I might be able to help you understand some of their decisions.

Have you even considered that they’re just trying to organically grow the userbase?

.world is one of the most popular instances, and for good reason. With open registrations, they will come. You know the movie Field of Dreams? He built it, and they came. The same could be said about .world.

Another thought to chew on is the fact that they’re just not able to close registrations at this time.

The instance is being DDoSed to the point of possibly stretching resources thin, and they may have to balance the influx of new users at this time.

At the end of the day, whatever the reason is, sure, the admins need to work hard on creating policies that help lemmy and lemmy.world grow in a healthy way.

The health of lemmy should come first, but in order to stay healthy, admins have to make hard choices, and there has to be a little give and take from everyone, including the users of the instance, not just them.

It’s good to outline your concerns, but maybe next time consider being a little more constructive and looking at the whole picture.

There are a lot of moving parts, and I, for one, am quite impressed with what I’ve seen so far. They’ve chosen the right servers, mitigated serious issues behind the scenes, and above all else, have put up with me.

So, yeah, maybe chill out a little bit and give them some time to work things out.

I’m sure they’re doing their best to keep the fediverse healthy, and I’m confident that they’ll figure things out.

In the meantime, why don’t you go create some content and help build up the fediverse?

That’s always a good way to make a difference.

You might be laughing at the fog, but you aren’t far from the truth period take a moment to look into the John Deere hacker’s period you have these rough black farmers learning how to hack their combined machines, so they can work on them without having to have proprietary software, it is quite interesting and amazing period

That is really thoughtful and kind of you to say. Let me share a story with you. When I was younger, I had the pleasure of having best friends who were Mexican. Their family treated me like I was one of their own. I would go over for dinner and enjoy family time, and I was never excluded. They would take me deep into Mexico, past the border towns, for their children’s birthdays.

I think what I am trying to say is that immigrants have it so hard and are so wrongfully targeted. They are the backbone of our society, having to work jobs that no one else wants. Meanwhile, people claim that they are the ones taking the jobs, while corporations engage in profiteering from behind the scenes.

In America, we are supposed to be a melting pot. Yet sadly, there are so many who forget that core value of this country. I too hope that they have moved on to better places that are more accepting, understanding, and compassionate to their struggles. They are no less American than anyone else.

The marginalization of immigrants has gone on for far too long. They come here and are systematically exploited. Their hard work and contributions are ignored and taken for granted, and that is wrong.
