a bunch of centralized platforms?

This is what decentralized means. If your home instance goes to shit, you can just move your account to another one.

I think maybe we just disagree with how you’re using “deserved”.

If I have to use violence on someone, I am sad that the situation is such that I have to do so, and I wish it weren’t so.

No one “deserves” pain.

Sometimes you have to apply harm to stop greater harm, but the concept of “deserving” harm is disgusting.

OK and?

Not everyone voted for Trump, but even so, people don’t deserve pain just because they’re bad.

Stop this puritanical bs.

You could also come over to Illinois. It’s shaping up to be a stronhold for the Trump resistance as well.
