I disagree that kindness should be pursued foremost. Knowledge and truth should be pursued and kindness shouldn’t be allowed in charge because when it is you get shit like language policing which is insanely toxic and stupefying.
You want kindness? Go somewhere designed to be wholesome but please, for the love of honesty and free speech, don’t enforce that crap site wide.
You would think the internet is full of bees looking to make honey but really it’s full of beetles wanting to roll their shit.
My bad. At least that doesn’t change my point as tanks are that too.
When Miyazaki said the AI ghiblifier is an affront to art, I couldn’t help but think that before WW1, tanks were called an affront to horsemanship.
The value of Reddit is the content which it is able to create. If users aren’t free to create content, there is not value.
My bad for misreading that. You aren’t wrong there. I’m telling them to look out for their communities, learn useful wartime skills, and to make friends. Being sweet doesn’t save you from tyranny, strength does.
I don’t like Kentucky but damn do they have good state motto.
Yes, you moved to Canada to get away from the US. And yea, a bit.
There’s only one of you and you do not seem like a general to me, just a pissed woman.
It’s not but it is for society to be strong and work well just as it men’s duty to make sure women are doing well too. Seems to me you wanna break the societal contract because you’re a sexist feminist.
Congrats, I hope that works well for you. Sure you left the US shitshow but if you think Canada isn’t one too just wait. Everywhere has shit, humans shit, it’s nature.
Yeah don’t put effort where it isn’t reciprocated that’s a bad deal for men too.
Then you get Trump…. See what I mean? Oof.
No the plan is for you to get that you are a part of society and have a civic duty to treat your people well, that almost half of society is men, and you seem to think it’s okay to discount them. It’s not okay.
I was gonna say no at first but you know what? Yes, in regards to not treating them like shit or passively discriminating against them is your civic duty to ‘fix’ them and keep them from being awful like it is men’s duty to look out women.
Furthermore to be abundantly fucking clear because for some reason not a lot of women get this or think this what I mean, I am not saying go fuck incels, I’m saying what goes around comes around and the more you disempower and shit on men the more extreme the reaction against you will be.
We can’t even start fucking public online groups without some feminist trying to shut them down while y’all are circlejerking about hating men. That’s a big problem.
Yes but that’s not what that was about. It’s like I was trying to warn them, if you don’t treat men better the men will find a way to be treated better with or without your support and if they don’t have you to support them and keep them from their worst selves they may just choose to fuck everything up. History repeats itself.
For real. Transparency makes this work much better than otherwise.
Could last a while with unity but yes.
I will never forget 2013 when Putin refused to sign an international agreement saying we won’t use AI in weapons and the rest of the world was on board with it.
I used to have three accounts to manage groupings of subreddits until I was banned for racism for asking lib women to treat white dudes better so an Arab spring like incident doesn’t happen before Trump won.
The day I saw Trump win I knew Reddit was going on the chopping block but even then, it’s been going downhill since 2016 with bots, bot mods, and language policing. Merely saying ‘fucking Luigi’ is a ban worthy offense and it’s absolutely asinine.
That’s a positive perspective.
I’ve seen a lot of that in leftists spaces lately, way more cautious of it now.
Engagement may not be great but it wins. Imo fediverse needs engagement to live long term but maybe doesn’t need toxicity for it, but addiction is inherently a little toxic.
Yes we should be thoughtful, not everyone is unfortunately.
How fucking dare you seek genuine humanity online. lol
I think letting people say anything (with obvious bannable exceptions like abuse, threats of violence, death, rape, and cp) helps, that fact checking or being wrong should not be bannable, and that people should be given more ways to conflict with each other but in a way that spurns creative debate not pure hostility but that pure hostility has real value to show people whether or not they should change and shouldn’t be shut down outright. Like commenting ‘fuck you’ should be allowed anywhere but not ‘fuck you go kys’ because it’s destructive not constructive; like if people with unpopular opinions weren’t allowed to silence dissent, they’d actually change their opinions and do better.
