  I think youre reading way too much into having sails or not lol

  I’m not. My point is you don’t realize how many areas you should be applying this kind of thinking in.

  I would not want to go back to that era of illiteracy, poverty and disease.

  But you’d want to stay in this one? Or what’s your point supposed to be?

  Adapting old ideas into the modern world where it makes sense is good though

  I’m saying, when you think about how fucked up it is that we went so far with removing sails from cargo ships, you can see more of how deep we are in misuse of technology. It’s a microcosm of a big picture.

  Sell them to me for a dollar each. I will rent them out for free in exchange for putting sails on them.

  This era honestly sucks so much, the only way the next era can show a lot of progress is if it shows a lot of reversion.

  Idk what’s up with your apparent obsession with being banned, but if that’s a problem for you - maybe you should reconsider the way you interact with people on the internet.

  No, you. If you’re using most online platforms without getting banned, you’re not trying hard enough to make the right choices.

  It’s really not hard to avoid bans in most spaces.

  Sure, a lot of people find it more convenient to go along with the crowd than to do the right thing. Ad populum fallacy is very popular. It seems like you’re trying to allude to some other bullshit though.

  Just follow the rules.

  No thanks. Have reasonable rules, or embarrass yourselves / possibly doom your planet by silencing everyone that stands up to abusive authority figures. You’ll actually pick one of the suggestions I just gave you, whereas your suggestions for me are based on an unrealistic view of me as someone spineless, or an unrealistic view of authority as something so inherently reasonable that anyone who makes a rule must deserve to have their rules followed.

  My whole point is that removing abusive and hateful content isnt censorship, its responsible moderation.

  Then your point is incorrect because this is a political discussion space. Open a dictionary and check what “censorship” is. It’s irresponsible moderation.

  Any online community that allows hate speech is not a community I want anything to do with.

  And if we’re lucky, your kind won’t make the planet extinct before being left behind by a more reasonable future majority of humans.

  If you let Nazis in your bar, you have a Nazi bar.

  I don’t have a bar or go to bars. I live in the US where it seems impossible to have a non-Nazi bar by my standards, and your standard here is even tighter, to where I don’t see how any bar anywhere on earth could avoid being Nazi by your standards. So a bar seems like a weird comparison for a political discussion space, where the Nazi ones are more like the ones that promote echo chambering to help Nazism rise up (which includes banning Nazi ideas from many spaces)

  I’m not going to report them, I’m just trying not to let them bait me into getting myself banned.

  The problem is if I did give them the reply they deserved, I might be banned when I’m the one treating them fairly, and I doubt they’d face a longer ban for baiting me or anything.

  Two wrongs don’t make a right, me trying to get them banned doesn’t help with the fact that online spaces form bullying cults that ban victims

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Obviously a fake rule, since I don’t see any risk of the person I was replying to being banned.

  Like most online discussion spaces these days, the “moderation” isn’t spam filtering, it’s censorship by bullies who conveniently pretend they’re only censoring bullies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems like you’re trying to bait me into a response that could be used as an excuse to ban me. Try this bullshit on nostr if you can handle talking somewhere you can’t just ban people who stand up to your bullying

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What does that have to do with the context where you’re replying? I was talking about censorship, not community building / spam filtering

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  1. Didn’t ask

  2. If humans can avoid extinction and keep the internet online for a long enough time, they can eventually figure out censorship is bad

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Then you’re really saying the internet is dying faster than it can develop. I think that’s just psychologically defensive defeatism

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Inevitably, either nostr will take over the internet, or the internet will be gone faster than nostr can develop to that point

  To be clear, a horny weirdo would still probably pay a human artist for a Pikachu with tits. Image generators probably wouldn’t get the nuance exactly right. An image generator is better for like, a Dai Li agent sucking Azula’s toes or something. Probably. I’m only speculating

  Maybe a bit too young to play multiplayer and see Microsoft has banned all non-Microsoft-account players, etc.

  Luanti is actually free forever

  So basically all of Wikipedia’s errors plus new errors from grok? Amazing

  But can we also increasingly let chat bots edit Wikipedia itself, please? Oh, we are? Great

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How “Neutrality” And “Free Speech” Become Excuses For Driving Out The People You Claim To Value⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t see how this relates to free speech. The targets of bigotry don’t have to do anything or go anywhere because bigots are allowed to talk. If the place has free speech, that means whether you give the place to people who hate you is also a choice.

  Could be fluid dynamics but that’s already water. Maybe they should be hydraulics and pneumatics or something

  You are correct

  Some might be more trustworthy than others though. Eden seems like a pretty good project run by good devs

  I feel like science denialist cultism is a form of psychosis the vast majority of people seem to have, so measuring it every week from a few hundred thousand people is definitely surprisingly low
