Why Corporate America has grown silent on gun violence
Personally i support this boycott. Banks should not have the right to deny clients based on the legal activities they perform.
We are required by law to use banks and simply can not operate legally as cash businesses. So as long as what you do is legal i will support any law that prevents banks from denying service based on a category of what you sell.
Even if you dislike guns this is a dangerous precedence to let banks decide what you do with your own money.
@riotmuffin while i dont agree the democrats are on the right, in fact id say many are extreme left, i do agree with the rest of what you said.

@gabe you just block the instances that curate to porn and your good. Thats ghr beauty of the fediverse, it makes it very easy toncurate your public tineline by blocking whole instances not people.
Remeber the federated timeline is the whole fediverse by default.

“ Imagine picking up a glass of what you think is apple juice, only to take a sip and discover that it’s actually ginger ale. Even though you usually love the soda, this time it tastes terrible. That’s because context and internal states, including expectation, influence how all animals perceive and process sensory information … anticipating the wrong stimulus leads to a surprise, and a negative response.“

@koherecoWatchdog i find ghr extreme polarization in votes on this poll to be interesting....
@viticci lets hope they address the compliance issues and can go live for them again soon... i wonder what the specifics are here?
@zkat wHile qoto has a pretty good mix of races here, more than the average, we are sadly a tech, or more specifically science, oriented instwnce. So we may not be a good fit.
That said we do have a feature where you can add columns to the ui that specifically show you the local feed from other instsnces.
Youd be welcome to set up an account so you can preview the tineline of instances until you find one that looks like a fit then move.
Sorry wish i had better advice.
@freemo @mmm @futurebird that's not just a metaphor. The East Germans put up a wall for a reason. All the hard working highly motivated people were getting out of the Communist side. I know people whose parents did exactly that.
People were not allowed to leave the Soviet bloc for the same reason: all the wrong people would leave.
Cuba was happy to let their prison population leave during the boatlift in the 80s. Those people had negative social value, so good riddance.
Happy trans visibility day everyone. My support and heart goes out to all of you trying to be yourselves in a world that makes that so difficult at times.
I see you, I love you, and most of all I respect your strength. Im always here if you need someone to talk to
