That sounds like a you problem, not a them problem, as far as they’re concerned

Funny, there’s a lot of people on lemmy itself (especially around dbzer0) who would agree with the judge wholeheartedly.

What’s the defaultism here?

IDK about that, the Saudis have like a million units sitting in a warehouse somewhere.

We actually don’t. This won’t kill AI, this will mean only conglomerates like Disney can own AI.

Not sure how much you’d want to trust his list. During the Luigi incident many users were instance banned simply for supporting Luigi, and the bans stand to this day. His ban list is not just malicious users but people he disagrees with.

Yeah, it’s one of the factors causing echo chambers to form online.

Not that I doubt you, I just don’t understand how a user bidirectional block works when other instances don’t support the feature.

How does that work from a technical perspective? Do non-piefed users still see you?

I’m not sure how or why it hasn’t been mentioned yet, but one reason blocking is the way it is, is because in a public forum like this, blocking somebody else from seeing your content is extremely open to abuse, while providing no real benefit from a protection perspective. As accounts are essentially free and unlimited, any malicious user can logout or spin up a new account to bypass your block.

On the abuse issue, it was previously shown with some testing on Reddit that by posting something offensive and controversial, then blocking everybody who responded in a negative manner, you could within 3 - 5 rounds of blocking reach the point where you could post practically anything and have it seen like a popular opinion, since everybody who disagreed with you and was willing to call out your bullshit couldn’t see it any more. Hence technical reasons aside, there are very good systemic reasons the blocking mechanism works the way it does.

Would have thought it was an obvious play on the headline, but I accept that sheer stupidity does exist.

… c/whoosh?

It was a false positive.

Edit: I can’t believe this needed a /s

Your post is about Palestine and Israel… How did Russia enter the discussion? I’m so confused I don’t even know what I should be feeling. Go to sleep dude.

Not stupid enough to be understanding this, thankfully.

Are you high? The entire post and comment is plain incoherent.
