Yes, a censorship state is muuuuch more objective.

Shouldn’t you be checking your banking accounts to see how many are at risk of getting closed off without warning due to defaults from the Evergrande crash? Everything is fine, nothing to see here. - CCP

Mistakes such as guessing the wrong lottery numbers all those times.

They just confirmed that Unidentified Flying Objects and Top Secret classifications were real, and some people who likely make money from the same sources as the modern day History Channel does made a whole bunch of speculations about what were probably quick dried corpses that bulged where the bones and evaporating liquids would have made them bulge that were collected from experimental high altitude tests that distracted a whole bunch of people and actual wild goose chases.

While I’m sure a lot of mods have been getting away with murder on reddit and have carried it over to lemmy, it’s unfair to characterize lemmy by these The fediverse is the perfect opportunity to begin to demand servers that have transparent moderation and arbitration or that they get put on a block list of the servers that value it. That means being told when your comment is removed and being given a reason. Being sent a notification is something that the server could be doing itself.

I think it’s normal for any service to have drops after a spike.

Slow and steady wins the race. Helps that it isn’t led by a fan of confidence scams.

Thanks, spez / Steve Huffman. Now do us all a favor and fire yourself. It would probably drive that traffic back down slightly, but we could live with it.

As opposed to trying to frame everything into the left-right pantheon? Did treating this as a completely separate environmental / city planning concern hurt people’s brain?

Titles are OP not realizing that the roads have been moved underground and are still there even though the picture doesn’t suit his metropolitan dystopia thematic preferences. Or at least that’s the only way they make sense.

The logo should have the Twitter blue bird as seen from within an X reticle while being shot dead.

It’s questionable whether they were or weren’t. One would suspect a normal CEO of having evidence that they weren’t legally obligated to if they sued, but this is Musk we are talking about.

Do they have to block a server entirely, or can’t they just block the community?

Thanks, I’ll check it out. I gave it a gloss, and what’s striking to me is that their FAQ doesn’t really mention what happens in case of copyright strikes or DMCA takedown notices.

That’s more bittorrent that federated, but maybe the metadata could be federated. It would share a lot of the same problems as bittorrents though: DMCA, prohibited content, content that’s no longer relevant enough to be available. So not only would the federated servers have to deal with requests from law enforcement and takedown notices, but so would ISPs and its users. Imagine not being able to host a federated server of it if you don’t run an algorithm that scan for infringing content. But besides that, yeah, maybe that would be plausible.

Fighting against climate change online in discussions. Because it’s pretty much over, we are all in the trash compactor now but as long as it continues to compact at a snails pace people won’t do much about it, and people’s opinions are worth as much as objective facts nowadays anyway. At least it will be a fun Schadenfreude surprise for the fascists of today who think they can live the lives of fascists past.

Depends on the where and/or if you are a late night comedian or not.

Basically, those parody forums where everyone mocks gross stereotypes of bigots, largely because actual bigots do participate in them and do begin to use them as a breeding ground for the hate-minded.

Maybe it’s an unpopular opinion, but I assume students complaining about their teachers being bad because they are not as good as some internet people are usually pricks who aren’t really into learning and are more likely looking for an excuse not to learn. Those internet people aren’t going to give you an exam on what you actually pick up, nor are they going to have the data to see what the class is doing poor on and needs to learn.

Most of the shit you learn in school isn’t going to be used in real life, but that’s not the point of it. It is essentially a gym for your brain, so dissing your personal trainer just because there are athletes with advice that might be better for you is not a good look. This example really is only useful for people who have learned programming before math, and knows the differences and limits of the programming.
