Non-consensual sexualization (like upskirts, revenge porn, kiddie porn) gets rationalized as free speech by assholes for whom it is personally self-serving to do so. Free speech is about being able to have and communicate about ideas that m

White hood wearing motherfuckers chomping at the bit to call black people "chimps" is not merely some alternative "clique", as you disingenuously suggest. The problem with tolerance of the intolerant is that you end up w

The presence of grey areas does not invalidate the entire concept of "fuck off, nazis."

Hate speech, bullying, none of that shit needs to be protected speech. It's not as delicate or complicated as people who generally aren't on the receiving end of it try to make it out to be.

These comments make me feel almost like a Luddite. I don't fear technology, but I fear technologists and their apologists.

Calling moderation "censorship" does a disservice to both terms.

What's the difference between seeing and "calculating based on visual data"? If you're looking for live observations of impacts as they happened, this paragraph makes it pretty clear that they're counting "sp

It's not unclear at all. > Speyerer’s team used a computer program to automatically analyse 14,092 of these paired images, looking for changes between the two. The 222 newfound craters are distributed randomly across the lunar surfa

There are demonstrable elements to twitter's decline that can be arguably connected to a lack of diversity in leadership. That's a tangible step above your purely speculative "well a diverse team might've done worse.&quo

This dismissive explanation doesn't account for why stories like this are so attractive to the population of sites like this. It's like people are getting off on superficially demonstrating how emotionally robust they are (I'
