I guess, so the law at present seems mostly made up. Like, it can't deal with glaring issues without a precedent and what amounts to a long-winded ritual before significant issues are considered.

I guess I don't see why a corp can't be accountable like how some people who commit petty crimes are 'held accountable' (i.e. shot, killed, worked in labour camps).

I think they wanted to be, they were advertising themselves!

I have a newer Redmi Phone and I can install an app at least twice. There's the 'second space' as well which is like having a cordoned off user. I use a different fingerprint or PIN and it takes me there.

SimpleX looks neat.

I think most of your criticism makes sense.

The part about "not reading private messages" I think is mistaken, or rather, maybe amiss. I mean I don't have evidence, so this is all conjecture. The sophistication of data surveillance and data gathering makes the content of the message rather meaningless in my view.

EDIT: Oh, I don't think any adversaries of US, even if working together, make any meaningful threat towards it. It's really hard to imagine, esp. considering the US has a bunch of successful coups & stuff under their belt.

You might find Negative Income Tax proposed by Milton Friedman interesting, he certainly was no collectivist.

Would you say like in the case of your comment, where the ratio skews heavily towards negative, something like having the thread collapsed by default or like hiding the score would be a better way to facilitate productive discussion? I think it works as a temporary middle ground (say the first 24H a post is up and folk's aren't completely decided, it gives controversial ideas a fightin' chance)

So I actually want to engage with you. If some stuff ends up being like "collapsed" or "hidden by default" because some just had a one-off bad experience with users from a particular community, do you think you'd agree that it is an OK compromise or is that relenting too much for freedom of expression?

oh is that not the case anymore? is that because world is the biggest instance now? might be preferable if most don't appreciate their politics. Also like, I wouldn't want server downtime or anything to effect the devwork of lemmy...

Being intolerant does not necessarily mean complete exclusion. Like one-way federation is still allowed right? So if some folks wanna comment they can still get the same content, the folks who don't won't. I think that's a decent middle ground for the meantime.

Been a while since I used lemmy. Yeah I don't remember what I meant, sorry.

I think that's fair.

Is the presumption that any confusion from labelling them as such is actually not anywhere near the value of like pointing out the alleged truthfulness which comes from the analogy made by labelling people in Israel as such?

Sorry for the direct language I have ASD, I'm just trying to understand what people mean usually but it's been told to me that it is rude or offensive so I apologize if that is the case.
