The fact that its common doesn't change the fact that it's an awful deal to enter into. >Nobody is required to give you a platform Conversely, I am not required to give them my money.

Sure, but that's something most humans naturally want to do, even if they have no financial incentive. Most people don't like having to go to the office 8 hours a day, and very few probably would if money wasn't in the equati

I really don't see #2 being feasible. What about networking over phone lines? Or hacker groups just physically being moved outside the border?

I can't seem to find a single paper on this vaccine, and this news article sure doesn't help. Does anyone have a link to at least a preprint? It could be hot air for all we know.

I've been sent quite a few of them from real life friends and thought they were pretty funny. People in general don't want child molesters to evade the law just because they're rich or powerful politicians.

I wouldn't consider the new redditors normal. They are highly radicalized, highly emotional, highly active on the internet, and extremely motivated to ban anyone who dissents. Its exactly the same as the Tumblr population before Tumblr

I think the problem is that you're taking people who disagree with you on a single issue and lumping them into a general "my enemy" group. (It can be inferred that you see yourself as left wing). I hate "deplatforming&qu

No, the problem is that left-vs-right doesn't really have a standard, global definition, so in an average internet discussion, you can have several people using their own definitions and not understanding that the person they're t
