Unrelated. But what makes you guys trust sources like Guardian so much? Ever since they spread toxic misinformation,or at the very best, guided peasimistic truth without context about Pewdiepie back in 2017 they pretty much just lost me.
I feel like I have had a significant amount of experiences that has seen most of these more well established news outlets dealing in misinformation.
They were probably the truth back in the day. But I don’t feel that any more.
It definitely has the least side effects out of any of them for me, which is why I settled for it. It might work for you too.
Concerta is at least making me do the dishes some times, unlike any of the other meds. Might help you.
I’m not, so I guess I’ll contribute to evening that population out now that I’m here.
Its sad because the ban of that 18 year old account wipes its ties to history off the internet if you didn’t save it on your own. It is fucking brutal. Removing the ability to find your history like that should be a crime.
“quit trying to be cute” as if a powertripping mod should be allowed to have anything to say or do about people seeing your messages or not…
By removing any sensible comments and retaining the delusional ones.
A ghost town looney bin, since all with sense left.
You get banned and muted even if you don’t follow the rules. Also many of these rules are just umbrellas to give mods reason to surpress your ability to be heard if they deem fit.
I also got banned despite breaking no rules. I didn’t have much respect for the platform at that point before that, but this was the nail in its coffin for me. It implies that those who remain unbanned are those who do whatever the powertripping mods and admins wanted.
Sharing of information. However, there’s not many easy places for that nowadays without the risk of too much censorship. I just want to see all opinions, even the bad ones. I don’t want somebody else to decide what the bad ones are for me.
(I was banned from r/relationships for asking why women always think you’re hitting on them when you’re actually recruiting a team of elite female assassins. > This is exactly the thing. The moderation and deleting/banning stuff that deserves to not be removed. Just censorship like this. Idc if posts actually are bad I just want to be able to see them and decide for myself.
Reddit wouldn’t always let me say what I wanted. They would block/shadowban/mute me. Which I realized is inherently wrong in a society that intends to be a democracy.
So I hope Lenny is better in that regard. If I say something I don’t want it taken away. I want it to have a chance to be challenged for what it is.
Once I realized this, I considered how many other probably healthy opinions that never got seen because mods, rules, restrictions and probably also financial and political biases ruined their chances of being challenged and seen in the first place. If only specific opinions are allowed, the whole site is inherently biased. I don’t like that. I bet that would explain the dumb stuff I’ve seen there. Because if nobody can challenge an opinion it will never grow.
I appreciate your elaboration.
As for a source, here is one I had in mind: Guardian link
My reasoning is that I feel they took it out of context and made it so that to new eyes it could seem like he possibly actually supported antisemitism. While in reality, anybody watching the original context with a head on their shoulders would know he made the people write the worst thing that came to mind on the spot for a joke. Funny or not not doesn’t really matter, as they made him seem like there was a possibility he was the exact opposite of what he really is.
