So, in essence, you don't have anything meaningful to respond with. You're perfectly fine with using centralized platforms when it's convenient and their ownership aligns with your…

When your revolution against "platforms" is led by people who host all their code on GitHub and have a public LinkedIn profile, you're not paying attention to your surroundings and…

>Many of us learned HTML and web technologies by reading the source code of websites HTML is an extensible language. Markdown is not.

You didn't link to data, you linked to an opinion from Vice laundered through another outlet. Here is some actual data, which (predictably) shows that conservatives are targeted si…

He is half-correct, but not in a good way. When people on the left say something that goes against new-left agenda, they get suppressed too. That is not a redeeming quality of the …

>No one argues that speech must have value to be allowed (c.f. shitposting). >Hereʻs the answer everyone knows: there IS no principled reason for banning spam. The whole threads se…

It's not a mistake. It's a PR strategy. Social media companies are training people to blame content and each other for the effects that are produced by design, algorithms and moder…
