I mean, I got a 3 day ban (R1) for joking that we should shoot robot dogs guarding AI datacenters. It's literally not one of the categories that is even supposed to apply - it's neither a person, nor a place, nor some kind of animal. And that was my second account after my first got banned for similar sorts of jokes (yes, some were people, all were obviously jokes). Yeah, they're going crazy overboard with enforcement on that. Subreddits need to start moving over now.

Yep, go hunting for deals on Craigslist, Marketplace, garage sales, etc and you can get some great stuff for cheap. I don't think I paid over $100 each (in some cases, alot less) for my treadmill, elliptical, weight machine, stair climber, or recumbent exercise bike.

This movie wasn't on my radar at all. After seeing Adam Savage talking about the production, I definitely want to see it.

That's part of why I made my account here. Might as well start getting familiar with the alternative. That and the mods on Reddit are out of control handing out bans for jokes about violence. Like the other day, I joked we should shoot robot dogs and got handed a site wide 3 day ban.

You know, I hope that's true. And I do think rebuilding is possible. But we need stronger protections to have any hope of actually successfully rebuilding. The far right has seen how effective the Project 2025 playbook has been. We can't guarantee they won't win another election. If we don't build protections, whatever we build they'll knock down again and go further next time. We also need protections from the wealthy buying our elections - CItizens United needs to go.
