Sometimes when I’m randomly banned from speaking for no good reason at all, I test to see if I’m still banned by typing ‘A’ & deleting it. This account has been muted for a week & it looks like it’s finally lifted. For now.
My stuff still shows up as ‘deleted by creator’. I’ve noticed the blanks, too. I use Sync for Lemmy.
The message of Christianity is excellent for subjugating populations, giving them purpose & hope, keeping people busy & out of trouble. I think that all sounds very appealing to rulers.
