    I was very very lucky.

    I turned 26 when I heard myself coughing like a 66 year old chainsmoker with cancerous lungs, found I was unable to run up stairs and out of breath after carrying groceries inside. I had to have a cig every morning so I would be able to have a shit at all, but if I did… that first drag sent me rushing to the bathroom, it got so bad, I had to light the first one while sitting on the loo, or i’d shit my pants.

    That’s when I found myself disgusted with myself. I stopped, I simply stopped. From 38 cigarettes per day to 0. I am so happy it worked, because I am a very easily tempted personality and tend towards addiction in anything that gives my brain pleasure.

    It took a year before I completely stopped coughing and two years before I could run up those stairs again, but one day I simply realized “Oh my! I’m not out of breath. What… what happened? Oh, yeah I quit smoking! Damn this feels nice!”

    In Germany we call these misheard lyrics “Agathe Bauer Songs” (misheard “I got the power”), it happens mostly when some lyrics in english songs sound like a german sentence or name.

    • All the leaves are brown - Anneliese Braun (name)
    • I got the power - Agathe Bauer (name)
    • At the gates - Hey, wie geht’s (Hey, how are you?)
    • I believe in miracles - Alle lieben Mirco (Everybody loves Mirco)
    • a deep shade of blue - Dickschädel Blues (Thickheaded blues)
    • the phone rings - da vorne links (ahead on the left)
    • hope of deliverance - Hau auf die Leberwurst (smack the liver-sausage)
    • all my feelings grow - Oma fiel ins Klo (grandma fell into the toilet)
    • Zombie - Zahnweh (Tooth-ache)
    • the word is out - du blöde sau (you stupid pig)
    • Dirty Diana - da geht der Gärtner (there walks the gardener)
    • I’ll be gone - Almighurt (german joghurt brand)
    • Your love is like bad medicine - your love is like Bettnässen (bed wetting)
    • I cut and i spear - da kackt 'n Eisbär (a polar bear is shitting there)
    • the pain is deep - der Penisdieb (the penis-thief)

    I’ve been successfully reporting troll-accounts and got them banned, I’ve blocked entire communities (mostly some niche-nsfw communities, so they don’t turn up in my local feed on my lemmynsfw.com-account). And I’ve found most community-moderators reeeeeeaaaaally don’t like fascists on their turf and if you see something and report something, most will get the boot.

    This meme presents a false choice, defederation is not the only sane reason to choose (because understanding and/or engaging nazis is decidedly not sane).

    Once an entire instance is gone though… defederate like there’s no tomorrow.
