“ Excessive moderation is a barrier to open and robust debate, ultimately undermining the diversity of perspectives that make meaningful discourse possible. Supressing dissenting opinions will lead to an echo chamber effect. Would you like to join me an upcoming campaign to restore Europe? Deus vult!” ah social media, some people are truly as dumb as rocks

You really shouldn't believe everything you read on the Internet. That account is literally crisis acting.

They were not banned, here is the account as proof:

That problem is unsolvable

I disagree, I think we’re pretty close to having LLMs removing anything that doesn’t fit the “tone” of the board.

Do you know of any platforms currently using LLMs to do this?

If household income is only just reaching 2019 levels, but food has gone between 100-200% up in price[0], then that means the effective buying power has been cut in half if not more (depending on the good). > Inflation is over and done with.

> If household income is only just reaching 2019 levels, but food has gone between 100-200% up in price[0], then that means the effective buying power has been cut in half if not more (depending on the good). No, the chart I linked is income after accounting for price increases. That's what "real income" means. The other thing we can see in surveys is that people think their personal economic situation is good, but t…

I did indeed misread, however my graph still proves that buying power, a far more important metric than the useless real income, is down across the board. And these mysteries “studies” don’t particularly help anything. Objectively speaking money went further in 2019 than it has in 2024, and anyone with real world experience can tell you that.

The reason people want change is not because they are “irrational” or “fearful”, it is because the people in power have demonstrated their inability to lead in every capacity. In Germany the government has literally collapsed due to the former coalition’s ineptitude. Prices in America have skyrocketed in the past 4 years, and pay hasn’t even started to catch up. In England innocents are being murdered and the governm…

>In Germany the government has literally collapsed due to the former coalition’s ineptitude. The government collapsed because the party pushed by the country's most influential media company (Axel-Springer) with the expressed goal of collapsing the coalition did just that.

I’m sorry, what? Which party do you mean? The only parties involved with the collapse of the coalition was the coalition itself, SDP, FDP, and Greens. It was all internal disputes that led to the collapse.

The UK riots were nothing to do with the murders that supposedly "triggered" them. That was all about hateful people seeking any excuse to punch down. The fact that you try to defend those rioters by perpetuating their transparent lies says everything I need to know about you.

Toddlers were stabbed to death at a dance recital and somehow the people upset about that are “hateful”. I pray you find God and develop morality.

“Narrowest possible lost”, sure, minus the fact that despite raising over $1B the Harris campaign still ended up $20M in debt, Republicans are majority in every section of elected government with plans to reinforce that, millions of Americans are becoming disillusioned with Democratic ideology, and you even have the president and his wife casting aside his own VP in favor of Trump by refusing to attend her election n…

> minus the fact that despite raising over $1B the Harris campaign still ended up $20M in debt Why do you think this is worth bringing up? Because it has numbers in it? I don't know what happens to the debt of a campaign after it's over, but I do know it's neither of our problems. It sounds like they've already covered it through late donations though. Her campaign was swing state-focused and it does seem like it wor…

Losing over $1.5B of donor (or more accurately, investor) capital does not reflect well when the Trump campaign didn’t even use all of $1B, ran for longer, and won the presidency. Major DNC donors know this and will be less likely to fund future campaigns that include the people who worked on this, especially Harris and Walz.

> I think any theory which assumes voters are actually paying attention or have coherent ideologies is wrong.

Then you’d be wrong. Many voters don’t have coherent ideas on say international policy, however many have specific ideologies regarding more local, important issues, such as food accessibility, welfare, immigration status, body autonomy, etc. Perhaps not across the board, but this belief that people are gormless masses to be controlled is probably a major reason your party has been losing steam.

Obama doesn’t have a successor. Trump has Jr and JD who can and probably will run next cycle (most likely Trump funding, Jr organizing, with JD running) while Barron may in the further future. Whether these are strong enough though, time will tell.

> Household income is up, but individual income is down, by the same source: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MEPAINUSA672N Indeed it's down a bit. The reason I didn't link it is that I think household income matters more than personal income, because it's more relevant to paying for the big expenses like the household itself, but it depends how people share expenses. US household sizes historically never grow thou…

How could individual income shrink if household income increased and the households didn’t increase in size? Someone is lying.

Households introduce a lot of variables, especially marriage. In some studies it has been shown you seek higher income opportunities than you might individually.[0] This would be my assumption, at least.

You really shouldn't go through a stranger's posting history out of frustration. In any event, the account has most probably been flagged, and the content immediately flagged and hidden. Were they to continue posting in the same vein, they would be banned. Oh, wait... there have been accounts banned (yes, banned[0][1]) for posting that men should not be in women sports or writing other reasonable, similar comments. You shouldn't believe anything legacy media, professional politicians, and corporations tell you, huh? I guess seething at someone so much because they're ignoring you for not being too bright that you have to go check their history in order to ridiculously try to "well, actually" them is not something sane or intelligent people do. You're just not doing yourself any favors here in terms of how you're perceived.

Yes there is, and it's not on the tolerant to tolerate the intolerant.

I completely agree, but you are the intolerant one for trying to censor people for speaking their minds.

Not sure if it tracks given that the founder himself more or less got ousted from his platform. I don't exactly think the current owners keep the servers up in good faith.

Maybe this lends weight to the idea that the strongest social network is decentralized and not reliant on a single point of ownership/control/failure? :)

We’ve had that for 40+ years. It’s called email. It’s a cesspool of spammers and scammers with an asymmetric cost advantage over the filters and operators of servers.
