Fossil fuels have spent massive sums of money lobbying against nuclear for decades.

5 years is a long time

I don’t think your distinction between moderation and filters is correct.

I would say it’s closer to filters are something to curate what you see, and moderation is to curate the community.

Trust based systems are absolutely an amazing idea, but it is a very good idea to make it so once you have a level of ‘trust’ you don’t just apply filters, but actual moderation instead. Having a hybrid system, where you can apply filters from a certain set of users, but also allow purely trolling or immoral(ie cp and gore) to be fully removed so that new users or visitors to the community do not have issues.

It also serves as a stronger prevention measure against racists and nazis.

It also serves to preserve the correction function of communities, without allowing popular will to reject reasonable expectations just because they dislike them. That has happened a lot in redditor communities.

I strongly agree that purely centralized moderation is bad, but some level of centralization of moderation is beneficial.

You could also have trust go by community rather than platform based to prevent exploitation

Sounds like you’re mistaking filters for moderation.

Yup. There should be high enough tariffs that it discourages shitty trinket buying… But focused on the crap, not just a blanket

I’ve been told by then that China isn’t authoritarian And China has more freedom of speech than western countries… They banned me. Lol

I’m only here for politics about to put “puppy” on my filter

Not in texas!

China’s desire for unification is not directly a threat.

With important manufacturing that would inevitably get destroyed in a war, it’s a direct threat.

These are 20 year old accusations. China today is innovating on its own.

They’re a whole hell of a lot younger than 20 years old. It’s recent issue.

having a willingness to notice if the problem behaviour has ceased.

Also this, you think it’s just fine to not pay restitution? It’s also not ceased. Same thing, steal the design produce it cheaper with slave labor or borderline slave labor is ongoing.

You’re suggesting that innocent vs guilty of your accusations deserves an enemy status.

It’s enough to establish china has a hostile foreign state, yes.

Is US guilty of worse?

Irrelevant. This is about if they did things to establish themselves as a hostile foreign power. You’re pretending they did no aggression, that’s what I’m referring to.

It’s an actively hostile act, regardless of what your beliefs are on the copyright system.

Enemy is entirely US’s choice

China threatening taiwan is not the usa’s choice.

China’s consistent copyright theft is not the USA’s choice.

There’s plenty to say on both sides of why they’re enemies. Do not spout lies that portray china as innocent please.

Allowing an enemy to produce critical parts was also a non-starter for the usa though

The intersection of people who become fascist and people who don’t want to declare war is small

Reduction of consumption at this point will not actually work, we’re already too far down the path of annihilation.

According to actual science and not just your opinion, it still could theoretically work.

There is no technological solution. There’s only reduction of consumption.

Prc will not reduce.

This is not about socialization lmfao. different topic.

It’s necessary. Phones are far worse than prior to phones, and I’ve seen both sides of it.

Boring lessons is a fact of life. People need to realize that not all education can be interesting. Sometimes you gotta suck it up, sit down, and learn. And I say this as someone with crippling adhd

Why not just measure corruption, full stop? Why specify oligarchy corruption?

China still also falls apart under that viewpoint.

I mean we are literally on .ml right now.

Gen alpha is significantly worse than prior generations on tech. Them having their phones on them doesn’t teach them, they consume on the lowest level. They don’t learn the actual Internet skills prior generations had to to survive.
