It's not the lack of open source, it's ease of use. Alternatives exist, but no company is going to run a charity case for you to store tons of data for free. Mail in particular is commonly known to be a hassle which has nothing to

It's not an insult to point out the obvious 'ignorance is bliss'. You can still like bargain bin fast food while admitting such food is garbage. That's the thing happening with these companies, changing things to be more

This dismisses the lack of therapists in the past and the lack of quality therapists. People used to do without them just fine before, yet now they are almost necessary to salvage a good 50% of the relationships or so? And what about the st

Not everything needs a hyper-abstracted solution. Most people suck at writing neat abstractions, so they spend an excessive amount of time writing shoddy solutions which no one really wants to deal with but there's a soft, begrudging a

Your concern is the restraint against the police ? When the riot is burning down the houses of innocents, robbing them and even taking their lives? The kid's dead. Settle the issue with the police in court, but keep the innocents out

There's nothing centrist or conservatist about gatekeeping and controlling the narrative. Keep that polarizing stuff out of here.

It's a honeypot. It prioritizes feminism / viewing issues under the lens of feminism, over solving the issues boys/men have. In bad cases, the advice given is downright self-destructive, as the political/social climate i

You're making my point for me. People are already assuming the new moderation will be noticeably worse to a significant degree, and using that assumption to assert their position as absolute. You know, in a place full of software devs
