How the fuck are blizzard execs still getting fucking jobs?!?!! Jesus Christ people, could you find a worse person to run the company?

It would be very strange at this point to not see him be forced to spin them off. I mean, this is the trump admin. Anything is possible, but this is egregious (and also it would benefit musk if he was forced to do so)

There is no policy which discord could enact that could protect children because they’re not in the room with the child. What they want discord and other websites to do is impossible and not their job

Nope. No faux outrage. You could have checked and you chose not to. My instance is right there in my name as a clue. You made a choice.

Yes that is perfectly civil. You did something that should make you ashamed. It’s not my job to pretend otherwise. I didn’t call names, I didn’t insult you. I told you that an action you took was socially unacceptable. That is civility. Just because I didn’t fellate you doesn’t mean I’ve wronged you. Don’t want your efforts to be called pathetic? Don’t do pathetic things.

“I don’t understand why I’m living in your head rent free. This genuinely started as a critique of awful behavior. I’ve no idea why you can’t take even the lightest criticism”

I am telling off an asshole. I didn’t know that at the time of my first comment, but I certainly do now. You’re not perfect, you deserve criticism and when you say something egregiously stupid like you did above, that criticism should be harsh. I don’t want you to engage with me. I need you to grow a spine

Interacting with you makes me sick. Trust me, I’m not still talking to you for me

Oh we’re adding misgendering to your insults. Cute.

I’ve added telling off an asshole to the discussion. You’ve still added nothing. Attempting to stop you is my contribution numbnuts. Try to keep up. I started out civil. You’ve been a fart sniffing self-righteous asshole with no point the whole time

This doesn’t need to be a whole thing. Next time you want to make an argument, come up with one before you open your mouth and you won’t have this issue which is clearly eating at you

Weird. You called me evil when I suggested it as the correct way to pay creatives and everyone else. Maybe your problem with my argument is your own reading comprehension.

Lol. Do you call everything you can’t read deranged? Because the hungry hungry caterpillar also makes sense to the literate among us.

I’m talking to cilethesane about how they’re uncritically quoting nonsense without adding anything to the discussion as though it furthers any point and I’m in this thread. You know where you are too, but you definitely are lost my dude

I’m sorry you can’t read, but it definitely has been said to you, multiple times. I’m just not babying you about it.

Quoting the person who is being critiqued isn’t effective rhetoric… The whole point is that he isn’t convincing because he’s unable to not be a hypocrite for half a second. Pointing to his hypocrisy uncritically again doesn’t do anything to excuse the issue. If you actually want to convince anyone to follow the advice above, you need to do more than exist vaguely nearby. So do better, because this was a pathetic attempt and should never be repeated.

How’s that? Build you up enough?

How about don’t ask the opposition to host it and instantly doxx every person who touches that link? Just a thought. No fucking clue what is actually on the other side of that blue text and I’m not going to check

You’re literally just making a list for them

Should or shouldn’t doesn’t matter. The majority wants an account that doesn’t require external verification.

Ignore the fact that that’s not truly possible. People will go to whatever platform makes them feel it’s true the best.

Being capable of effectively convincing people your platform will provide this is a baseline requirement to even start having this discussion. The anonymous Internet isn’t something most people want

Both

I mean, I get the idea that it’s easier to do this sort of thing at scale with this technology, but there are already entire sophisticated corporations overseas dedicated solely to phishing at scale already using ultra cheap labor so like … Is anything really going to change other than those scam companies going out of business due to grassroots competition? I don’t really see how this changes anything other than the labor budget of phishing companies.

Not true. The system suppresses third parties. It doesn’t stop them. Parties fall in the US just like everywhere else. When was the last time you spoke to a US whig? Or a Jeffersonian Republican? The system in place when those parties fell was exactly the system we have now. It just takes a massive popular effort and a period of severe political turmoil where the country is heavily divided along party lines and a large portion of the country feels entirely disenfranchised (ideally about a 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 split between the two parties and people fed up or greater). Happened at the revolution. Happened at the civil war. Happened at the great depression. Guess where we are now? Don’t let yourself fall for the lie that the party is eternal. We’re on the knive’s edge now. It’s time to push

Despite what the media wants us to think, both parties are wildly unpopular with their own voters and are primed for collapse. Literally all of the conditions historically needed for social revolution have been met
