- seattle_spring 4y agoI wish people would acknowledge this fact more often (and it is unquestionably a fact).
- andy_ppp 4y agoHaha, I literally got downvoted for stating this obvious fact… people find it really difficult to differentiate facts they don’t like from lies.
- naasking 4y agoSpam and disinformation are fake account/bot problems. Totally separate issue that can be solved by tying accounts to real people, without necessarily exposing their identity publicly. As for hate speech, that's not only somewhat subjective, but you can't solve that by banning people. Every instance of people turning away from bigotry was the result of conversation and engagement, like the black Panthers partnering with the KKK to fight a common cause, or the admirable Daryl Davis. Basically, the outcomes you describe are only inevitable if we make the exact same choices we've already made. Well duh. What's the definition of insanity again?
