I thought this was paranoid bullshit, I searched, there is an actual bill in NY
https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2021/a416
They are not stating COVID, it says ANY communicable diseases.
It may not pass, but that they are even asking is appalling. Its also not if you are infected but if you might possibly have come in contact with someone who might possibly be connected to someone... and no recourse, only random government people making the decisions of who to round up, where they go and for how long..
Sounds vaguely familiar
Actually a worse thought: Even if it does not pass, the **** in DC may see it and think its a great idea. They can pass anything now. ( well, can here soon .. )
"Look, there was this Republican, NRA, whatever conservative leaning convention/riot yesterday, and this Antifa protester was there, that was minding his own business and just exercising his rights since they are all peaceful, just happened to know someone who had the xyz virus. " "round them all up, and their families, friends, co workers. hell even the teenage girl at the checkout lane where they bought groceries last night"

They don't just want you banned from the Internet and rendered unemployable, unable to use any modern means of communication, unable to engage in any financial transactions.
They want you dead.

found one that works https://thepostmillennial.com/mozillas-official-blog-we-need-more-than-deplatforming
i guess that means browser based filters on the client side.

Worked fine when I clicked on it, maybe they are watching you more closely.
If The Donald passes away from natural causes by the end of the year
are you going to assume it was an assassination?
President Trump dying of natural causes is about as credible as Jeffrey Epstein having committed suicide.

Remember the old adage about boiling a frog?
Apparently that's no longer in fashion ... the frog goes directly onto the grill, still alive, and anyone who thinks that it's cruel gets put on the grill too.
I tend to agree, he's healthy.

Interesting. It kept giving me server not found ( DNS level, not page page level )
Just now tried it again, it gave same error THEN it flipped to the page. On its own, i didnt try a refresh. And now it works every time.
( using cloud flare DNS first, then Google, then my iSP. to cover most of the bases )

A week ago I was the one with the "extreme views" on this BBS.
Now we're all standing in a crowded lifeboat, watching water start to rise in the hull.
We're not going to go down fighting. We're going to get "quarantined" in 2 AM raids, little by little. and accepting that anyone who attempts to fight back are the "bad guys" who are simply upset because their dictator didn't get elected, the whole time. There isn't some magic point where the people are going to rise up and realize, "wait - the people fighting back aren't the tyrants - the people they are fighting are.."
This is one of those famous, "and when they came for me, there was no one left to hear me," scenarios.
Have you not seen this yet?

Nah, i was standing there beside you. Just not as outspoken at times.

The real root problem is that if you speak up too loudly - it is easy to sound like a raving lunatic.
But if you don't speak up loudly, no one listens.
Either way, you end up standing in the lifeboat, watching the water rise above your ankles.
I just had the thought, it is like an entire generation watched Harry Potter and decided that Harry and Dumbledore were the villains.

I read that Trump is going to speak at 9pm ET tonight (Jan 9th). It might not be covered by traditional media so if you are interested look elsewhere.
The Joe Biden Is Not My President group on Facebook has been shut down after reaching 1.6 million users.
I think we're missing the forest for the trees.
Joe Biden *is* our president - and not amount of denial will change that - no refusal to accept it will make a difference.
What we have to realize is that This is not our United States of America.
It may not have been for a while - but it should be readily apparent to anyone paying attention, there is no denying it any more.
This is some other country, cloaking itself in the cloak of the United States of America. Call it the People's Republic of America - but stop pretending there is any turning back, anything to be saved, anything to be salvaged.
The United States is a failed nation - and has been replaced by something totally unlike what the US was in spirit and design.
And it will continue to become more apparent in the remaining years of our lives that this is true.
If there was any hope, if it were simply on life support before - it is now beyond hope.
This is something else that may seem too radical to you now - that eventually you will think, "No... he was right." Maybe not today, maybe not in a year.
Joe Biden is now my President, and I am a refugee of war living in an occupied country.
In under a week. i honestly thought it would take longer for it to all to collapse and they would all wait until the 21st before they silenced all of us.

Hope they were keeping backups somewhere else. 1 day to transfer that much stuff, may not be enough and i cant imagine the bill. ( AWS charges us for data dumps that exceed our 'allocated limits' ) . Other than self-host, i suspect they are gone. And self-host may not last long either, as they have to have a pipe to the outside...
Next up. Blaze and Newsmax.
Also got a message from a friend on FB couple of days ago. Not seen it before, but now if you get flagged on a fact check you can now either allow it to "cover" your post, or protest and request a review. If you lose the review, your account is deleted.
