Symmetric blocking?

They’ve been known to close accounts and confiscate the funds of people unilaterally with no course for appeal, including vulnerable groups.

I’m not the one with a hate boner here 🤷

You have an interesting definition of ‘forced’ for an app that you’re free to not use.

It’s probably that. Opinions on lemmy get… extreme.

One’s realistic (literally already implemented in places), the other’s wishful thinking.

Oh so that’s why my dupes couldn’t keep the methane generator running - I wasn’t feeding them beans!

Or, just impose a percentage based wealth tax like some of the Scandinavian countries. Simple and efficient.

Here’s an actual article

Really does sound like an actual Tony Stark, only without the actual narcissism (and you know, the unlimited money).

Hate for discord aside, what’s the benefits / disadvantages here for the users?

Well yeah, he’s got a point. Would you want to be forced to play fortnite?

What’s that in normal European (and everyone else) units?

We need a lot more sane, non-extremist posters and commentors on the Threadiverse. Maybe try posting and blocking the assholes? The rest of us will appreciate it! :D

That’s a big shame.

Ditto for Discord replacing IRC

Ditto for Matrix replacing Discord. Stop explaining that it’s technically better, almost feature parity, etc. Most users don’t care and the network effect assures nothing will happen. Just make it easier to use with an equally polished UI. FOSS enthusiasts (I’m one) don’t seem to contain a single UI expert along their multitudes.

What is corn but beans on a cob?

AI is the devil, humanity is doomed, parents are evil / selfish / idiotic for having kids, cars shouldn’t exist no matter what, the list goes on…

Also, 99% of the population here is Western. Nobody ever recalls that different cultures can have different opinions, different priorities, different cultural mores, etc — and I’m not talking about China vs US here. (I may still be a little salty about being temp banned for a ‘dogwhistle’ that’s nothing of the kind in Asia).

Sometimes I wonder why I’m still on Lemmy, the toxicity is pervasive and exceeds anything Reddit had.

I agree with you, but read the title.

Linux is AI slop now, use BSD or you’re dooming humanity.

Not arguing your points, but I find it funny that there’s a post about Nintendo owning a porn video right above this post.
