Not sure how making a sex worker take an overdose of boner pills is supposed to go right but whatever.

I think I get the point you’re making but climate change will fuck over the same people who end up getting fucked over by war.
As is often the case, the wealthiest can deal with the side effects of climate change. The ones who will be most affected by famines and natural disasters are the poorest, most marginalised, most deprived.
I suspect it’ll make conflict more likely, not less.
The policy doesn’t matter as the police selectively enforce it.
It’s not a typo, I just lazily wrote the comment like I’d speak.
No, it’s fine.
The “community” is here, not a matrix chat.
Nothing prevents you setting up your own instance. In fact, I’d say you probably should. If you’ve invested so much into this name already, then you may as well.
Not sure why you assume this? I never made the claim
Yeah, that is a close gap that could easily be bridged by a consolidated conservative vote. Quite worrying, to be honest.
Illegal stuff should be a hard rule. By that I mean calls to action and explicit hate speech should be aggressively removed. It puts the instance at risk.
Auto-filtering might be useful for catching especially egregious words. They’re easy to bypass but I guess it should deter some trolling. But it could be tedious if it is overly sensitive. Is it going to block people posting or commenting? Does it let you know you’ve been caught?
I’m really not sure how well policing “political” topics would go. It’s political by nature, so I think even coming up with rules will end up devolving into political discussion. It’s probably easier to just say “no hate speech”.
I’m sorry but Quackhouse is a terrible name.
Great stuff. Good on you all for keeping this place alive.
[x] Doubt
Even if you disagree, using a pronoun is just polite. She’d have to go out of her way to do this.
Hope all is well with @[email protected] and it’s just a case of him abandoning his post.
Is there anything we can plan better for the new instance to prevent this happening again? It’s a bit disappointing to have to leave, since we will no doubt lose a portion of the userbase due to this.
I’d like to follow, but don’t know if I will since I may as well just make an account on one of the larger instances.
One day it’s gonna come out that it was all a prank organised on 4chan, isn’t it?
Aaaaaaaaaaand this is how you nuke support from orbit.
This way isn’t working either. It’s time to go back to the drawing board and brainstorm some better ideas.
I suspect it’s for the publicity. Events like this attract different demographics than the usual targets, so it’s more exposure. It might not make the tabloids but it does get reported on.
Historically, any publicity has been seen as good publicity. But, given the reputation they are building, I think this is not how it is playing out.
So I agree, it just makes people with little to no power feel blamed. Time for a change of approach.
I was quite active. But less and less as time goes on, sadly.
The content is drying up, the only really active communities are either tech or political, and my main interests either never left reddit or have a home elsewhere. The nail in the coffin for me will be when my instance dies, which is looking increasingly likely given that the admin is AWOL.
It’s ok here, but it’s too fragmented to be a full replacement for anything else.
I know Google is a big corpo but its hardly the only reason behind the state of the internet. It is a major factor, but to single out Google when Microsoft and others have played just as significant of a role is odd.
Sunak decided nothing until the absolute last moment possible. Definitely not worthy of praise at all.
I don’t own a car so I’m confident I’ve not killed anyone on the other side of the world, but my neighbour has a car. I’m pretty sure he hasn’t killed anyone recently either.
But your neighbour’s car consumes something for fuel, which does kill people. No, he hasn’t mowed someone down. But the system for producing that fuel is exploitative, has been the motivation for wars, and pollutes the atmosphere. You can’t claim to be innocent when the system exists to supply the demand.
You might not own a car, but you use electricity at least. Electricity comes from the grid that uses gasoline and coal at some percentage. Your computer and smartphone contain rare metals that are literally the product of mines owned and operated by warlords.
In short, there is no ethical way to stay like this. As time goes on more and more some people will become sick of the middle and upper class acting like they shoulder no responsibility. That’s why we are seeing more direct activism.
Games publishers are in a war of attention and don’t want to compete with themselves. They won’t sell you an old game if they can get you hooked on the new version with microtransactions and DLC with no story and sub-par multiplayer.
The next point is just making the case for open source.
