Fascist shutdown of public discourse, step by step:
- Find out where public discourse is.
- Post child porn on an obscure corner of it.
- Take screenshots of the posted porn.
- Send law enforcement to seize all the things.
Fascist shutdown of public discourse, step by step:
That’s some backwards logic, then. The whole point of bioweapons is that, once introduced into the population you’re trying to exterminate, it spreads among them peer-to-peer.
There were pictures and diagrams of the virus. There was even art made in the virus’ likeness.
I’ve never seen a claim that COVID-19 was caused by anything other than an observable physical object. There have been many claims that it’s a manmade bioweapon and that vaccines are ineffective and harmful, but I’ve never heard of someone claiming it’s an intangible curse from God or something.
If the cure to cancer were found, like a virus to prevent deaths from COVID-19, sites like Twitter and Lemmy would spread lies and disinformation and tell people to avoid authentic facts and science.
They would try, but they would fail. COVID-19 is history now, because of vaccination, despite the best efforts of anti-vax death cultists to stop it.
Meanwhile on Beehaw, where the only rule is to be nice, I can say “bitch bitch bitchity bitch” all I want, as long as I’m nice about it.
Which, I guess, limits its applications to discussions about dogs.
I see the list has been expanded since the original edition.
And only the fifth word?
I find that hilarious for some reason.
So do communist governments (e.g. Holodomor, Uyghurs in China). So do capitalist governments (e.g. Native Americans, Irish). Genocide is not unique to fascism, unfortunately.
Lemmy.ml admins have been silent about this issue for over a day now. The hypothesis that this is merely a technical glitch is rapidly losing plausibility. Something’s up.
I agree in general, although I really don’t understand the “Fediverse is good for privacy” argument. This is a public forum. Everything I post here can be trivially scraped by anyone and everyone, including Meta. There is no privacy here because there is nothing private here.
the people that are in favor of defederation are doing so based on emotion
No, they’re in favor of defederation because they know Meta’s history, and I suspect that you don’t. Read up on Facebook and XMPP, then comment.
Meta apps supporting activitypub would be a huge benefit for adding users to the platform.
Just like how Meta apps supporting XMPP was great for XMPP.
Oh wait.
Do people really want to go back to the dark ages before Wikipedia existed? I know I don’t. Knowledge is power, and the Internet is a treasure trove of it, if you know where to look.
That said, I do want to go back to computers that obeyed only their users and no one else. Malicious hardware like TPM and Pluton is really scary.
If they really were anti-work and pro-sticking-it-to-the-man, they’d leave Reddit rather than cave to spez’s demands.
I’m in a subreddit called redditalternatives, and lately not many people are posting in it anymore.
I imagine that’s because they all jumped ship already.
We have an entire instance dedicated to porn, so we’ve got the hookers part covered. Not sure about the blackjack, though.
The Steam Deck runs Linux and is fairly mainstream, so if by “year of the Linux desktop” you mean “year of the Linux gaming platform”, that already happened.
Can be changed in registry
Temporarily. The only reason I can think of to remove the UI is that they intend to also remove the feature it controls, and just haven’t done it yet.
Can’t see system files in File Explorer any more, I see. Lame. One more step on Microsoft’s journey to turn Windows into iOS.
I’m talking about when the government wants an excuse for shutting down public discourse. Obviously it isn’t going to prosecute itself.
