The problem is the complete and often militant refusal to ever build upon anything, ever

Schools will happily drill the 3 newtonian laws of motion in one ear and out the other in literally every science class. But when it comes to actually teaching understanding, nothing but crickets.

This should be incredibly fucking concerning, and yet it’s become about as interesting as dropping a penny in the parking lot, which is honestly even more concerning.

False. It’s an Alpha Romeo, those are all just oil dispensers

The link appears broken, so I don’t know the specifics here, but defederation really needs to be a last resort as it kinda halts any chance of the conversation going the other way too. It helps create and support the extremified echo chambers that actively cause so many of our societal problems.

If the instance is particularly problematic or exclusively causes harm, then it might be appropriate to nuke em. But it also effectively tells the entirety of Lemmy that this is not a conversation worth having, and that it is wrong (at least socially) to ever interact with these people. And, it tells the folks being defederated that whatever they are saying must be valid because it gets an extreme reaction. People are exceedingly unlikely to admit wrongdoing and change their behavior when action is taken against their community of like-minded buddies (echo chamber), they double down and become even more polarized.

I know you mentioned speaking against defederation before, and I obviously don’t fully understand the details here, but I feel like it bears repeating that defederation has to go beyond the moral opinions of any individual if we want to stave off circling the drain of overreactive garbage that places like Reddit or Twitter became.

What if this hypothetical booby-trap happens to be a fire suppression system that dispenses BandAids after ejecting the fascist piglets back out the front door at 300psi?

Every single time I try something new I reinstall Fedora within a day, pretty sure it’s just Stolkholm Syndrome at this point

That is clearly embarrassed white

The Orange Cunt has far too few functioning braincells to have any idea what he wants. Make the FBI solve all the problems because thats what they do in the movies and fire every federal employee just for existing are not mutually exclusive concepts when your too narcissistic to tell the difference between your own head and a puppet-hand up your ass.

The Cunt’s really trying to take over the world by merely whining about it like a spoiled brat discovering happy meal toys

The system does not work against those that simultaneously run the system and do not recognize the system

Can’t be any climate change if there is no one to report the climate change

Hasn’t this been in the works for like 5 years
