Ngl, how else are you going to get the trend to spread to those who are perma locked on social media?

It is like saying you can’t make a youtube video criticizing youtube.

Called it.

I think the root issue is more around the belief that US companies operate off of meritocracy.

I.E. only the most qualified and competent people make it to the top.

That was more of a juxtaposition of the example you gave of blocking = putting your head in the sand VS everyone’s opinion should be heard. My main point being that there is a happy medium between the two.

I probably should have phrased that differently, sorry.

Eh, I would rather get blocked than have a troll that follows me everywhere.

I don’t know for sure if this user is one, but everybody wants something different from their online experience and I don’t think there is anything wrong with curating it.

IF they hate politics and don’t want to see it anywhere on their feed, that is their choice. It may come back to bite them in the ass with IRL “leopards ate my face” style consequences when they realize that politics affects everyone, but it is still their choice.

The midset of “Everyone’s opinion is valid and should be heard” is a neo-liberal perspective with their “centrist” (right leaning) approach. That is how we got to institutions platforming literal Nazis on debate channels.

I think there is a happy medium where it is alright to block users or hide posts if their messaging is just counterproductive or inflammatory.

Also it is better to block trolls than rag on them, their goal is typically to get any reaction.

I like to give them a chance to discuss and try to introduce them to a new perspective, but the second they throw a blatantly bad faith comment, I am going for the block button.

Just as a reminder, you are able to block users if you do not like what they are posting.

My friend, this post is about China getting cut off from the rest of the word, most likely due to government censorship.

The title of this community is Technology.

It is a PSA about the current steps the US is taking towards similar levels of censorship. This is pretty damn relevant to both the community and the post topic.

I know some people don’t like it, but politics is part of tons of different communities. Even a crafting community would be affected by the current tariffs.

Buisness cost. How come I get the feeling this might be tax write-off-able for them.

Programming is hard. We understand that sometimes mistakes are made and LLMs go from Hitler bad, to Hitler good. Everyone should be more accommodating toward Mr.Musk’s autism.

In other news, Mamdani should be deported for saying Israel has the right to exist as a state with EQUAL rights. As this is a blatant example of anti-semitism.

1. Universal Healthcare - kills predatory health insurance and drug manufacturers
2. State sponsored housing / accessable housing - kills the real estate market
3. Well financed public education - kills private schools

I am talking about the markets that rely on the suffering of people to make massive amounts of money. Monied interests have proven time and time again what our government stands for.

Do you know how many industries would collapse if everyone had bare minimum living standards!

/s, just in case.
