My German Visa was just approved. Off to a university asap. We take two STEM professors with kids going into engineering as a group out of the US. I have a feeling we're just the leading edge of the sluice gates opening.
Glückwunsch und Willkommen :-)
90 years ago, Germans were coming to America. Today, the flow is the other direction. History doesn't repeat, it rhymes.
I wish i was valuable enough to be able to leave, but i dont have any important skills, and I spent the last 12 years exercising my 1st Amendment rights on Reddit before being permabanned in the post Inauguration bloodbath. They've got my post history, and sooner or later the list of people to oppress will reach my name.
1st amemdment doesn’t apply to private businesses. If they want to ban you, they can.
Considering they want to be International, they have to follow the rules of each country, so youll usually end up on the stricter side with everything. Lowest denominator and such.
Wow, you completely missed the point. I wasn't complaining about being permabanned, I was pointing out that to be permabanned, they must have reviewed my 12 years of posts, and determined that I don't fit Reddit's new Nazi-collaboration mission, now that they've abandoned their original Free Speech mission.
I suspect I now have a target on my back.
I interpreted it as you said it.
I didnt say you complained, I explained a concept to you.
An old comment likely was reported and you got banned for it.
They would knock on your door without banning you if you were a target. They know you cant go back to commenting after you arrive in El Salvador.
So don't be paranoid, but also don't be stupid. Lemmy doesn’t protect you.
I didn't need your condescending explanation, I know exactly why I was banned, much better than you.
"Condescending" was just in your mind. You took it that way but it wasnt.
Have a nice day
You missed the point and cherry picked one thing to pick the shit out of despite its irrelevance to the point.
Good luck! Stay safe
Thank you, and stay safe too. Yet more interesting times ahead for us all.
good luck.
Thank you. It's been a goal of ours for a long time, but current events have accelerated things.
It's interesting times for everyone these days, so stay safe out there.
Best of luck to you all
Awesome, good luck and welcome!
