    A US senator can absolutely, unambiguously write to a private corporation asking them to more strictly moderate their platform. You’re just parroting “muh freeze peach” having zero idea where that starts and ends.

    I highly recommend informing yourself where this boundary is; even if you particularly disagree with this senator, citing the First Amendment is the weakest possible argument here except among people who also don’t understand where the line is.

            If you are concerned by fascism, I recommend calling your representatives and even writing letters to them.

            In the case above, a sensible well written letter sent by an individual that was put in power to defend the interests of the American people is not fascism.

            It’s important to understand what Fascism looks like. Such as every billionaire bending the knee when a politician gains power, or what we see with Musk in an invented cabinet position. The merger of government and corporate powers which will directly hurt the interests of the people in a state.

            “A solarpunk polity would replace centralised forms of state government with decentralised confederations of self-governing communities […]”

            Stalin notoriously loved checks notes heavily decentralizing government power akin to anarcho-communism.

            “This politician writing against fascism is too fascist. This decentralized political system is too tankie. This politician ousting competent government officials he perceives as disloyal to his coup is juuuuust right.”

        I don’t think you can block yourself. Maybe ask the Lemmy devs to implement it? Seriously, all I’m asking you to do is read to understand where your rights as an American citizen start and end; it’s for your own good.
