@noagendashownoteslinks beginning to think this will be like the war in Iraq: pushed really hard, but people will wake up and eventually politicians will be falling over themselves to distance themselves from the policies they insisted were the most important things in the world just a little while earlier.
It's sad, the Liberal party of the 2000s had a strong enough moral center that they completely avoided the whole thing by just not going to a Iraq. The Liberal party of today completely lacks any real principles, so they're going to get hit particularly hard as people inevitably get tired of all this

@DK_Dharmaraj 4chan does benefit in that it's honest. Give your irl details on 4chan and nobody is pretending they're going to carefully steward the information, they are overt in what they will do with that information.
Today someone pointed out that FBXL Social doesn't have a privacy policy, and asked why they should trust it.
My response is that they shouldn't trust it, and a piece of paper with site policy doesn't change that. You can have a codebook full of policies, and it's absurd to think that makes a website trustworthy.
You shouldn't trust any website on the Internet. You shouldn't be giving your personal information to websites, and particularly not social media websites.
The Internet is not your friend, and anyone trying to tell you differently is selling something on the Internet, and almost certainly does not have your best interests at heart. Assume even the most prestigious company is no better than 4chan.

Poll for only Millennials :please_boost:
@Juju I expect housing will go down in the next few years as interest rates rise. It won't feel good, but banks won't give mortgages this cheap while 7% inflation is happening forever

@Juju The funny thing is, who handed us the ribbons? We were kids, it isn't like we went out and bought them, it was our boomer teachers.

@Juju I remember getting a participation ribbon, but trophies are expensive!
@TheRealNM @lantrix @bifpowell When the protests of the Iraq war occurred globally, they were the largest protests in history. The news channels were in support of the war so they only mentioned them insofar as they could discredit them.
I don't see anything different here.

@lain I recall enjoying phd comics when I read through it a few years ago.
But one thing that's sort of absurd is the end where they're calling out "the wrong information" getting out there when a lot of the "wrong information" turned out to be right, such as the vaccine causing myocarditis.
Ironically, it's the current dominant paradigm that peddled misinformation to the public willfully and with the intent to deceive for political purposes, and now they're reaping the poison seed they've sown.

I made it to fediblock, along with a bunch of other cool instances! I'm always honored to be blocked by nazi gestapo orwellians!

This is why every megacorp is displaying rainbow flags. The decision is purely calculated and mercenary and will change the moment they realize it isn't going to sell more cheeseburgers.

@sunspot I'm violently free speech and speak about it at length often, but in this case I really can't say I'm particularly upset at the idea that their public moderated chat spaces in-game would be limited to discussions about the game, and that if you want to have discussions like that to take it to a private space.
Let's flip this around: Would you want someone going into a public space and start preaching that we need to all open our hearts to Jesus? I mean, probably not!

@jeffcliff @NEETzsche @CryptoBlok @D00B @Grimwing Sorry bro, you're one of us now.
ONE OF US. ONE OF US. ONE OF US.
That's how their cult works. Pure George W. Bush levels of cringe (and they loooove George W. and Dick Cheney by the way), "You're either with us or against us"

@Mek101 Censorship doesn't per se provide a value judgement as to whether the thing being censored is worthwhile or not. It doesn't mean what was said is bad or good, just that it is not allowed.
Claiming there's only one place that censorship is minimal, and in particular that there's only one place that censorship won't be placed on a particular message is absurd. It's a big world, lots of places.

I understand, most people running websites aren't capable of operating at our level.

@RTP This would have been a big deal 20 years ago. Today it's considered good because most people are well and truly indoctrinated by the (bipartisan btw) totalitarian regime.
