.world was already bad, doesn’t stop me from being disappointed when one of the instances I liked more gets worse.

So all moderation is wrong?
No.
- Comment on Dbzero has Defederated from Feddit.org following its Governance post about the later's Zionist Bar Problem 1 week ago:
You can achieve essentially the same effect via blocking. Bypassing defederation instead requires using a different instance.

You might be thinking about .ml instances. dbzer0 has been one of the most open instances. I’m just disappointed at the current trend.
- Comment on Dbzero has Defederated from Feddit.org following its Governance post about the later's Zionist Bar Problem 1 week ago:
It isn’t, I have active accounts on a handful of instances atm.
- Comment on Dbzero has Defederated from Feddit.org following its Governance post about the later's Zionist Bar Problem 1 week ago:
or the authority
Authority is exactly the problem. Who would’ve thought that somebody with an account on an anarchist instance has problems with other people telling them what they can and can’t do?
Shocking, I know.
- Comment on Dbzero has Defederated from Feddit.org following its Governance post about the later's Zionist Bar Problem 1 week ago:
“people voting for something I don’t like” is an especially idiotic way to define it.
You’re right, that would be idiotic. Good thing I didn’t define authoritarian that way, and no, it is not a meaningless word, you can (in fact) look it up in a dictionary which describes the meaning fairly well.
- Comment on Dbzero has Defederated from Feddit.org following its Governance post about the later's Zionist Bar Problem 1 week ago:
Voting to block a domain and having that domain blocked isn’t comparable to electing an authoritarian leader.
Nobody has said that? What it does is remove the choice from each individual, which is authoritarian, even if done via majority vote. There was nothing stopping those who wanted the domain blocked to do that themselves.
- Comment on Dbzero has Defederated from Feddit.org following its Governance post about the later's Zionist Bar Problem 1 week ago:
Ah yes because nothing authoritarian was ever implemented through a vote…
Personally, I voted against on my db0 account, the top voted comments explain pretty thoroughly why.
- Comment on Dbzero has Defederated from Feddit.org following its Governance post about the later's Zionist Bar Problem 1 week ago:
It’s sad to see dbzer0 slowly creeping towards authoritarianism. This is exactly the kind of reason I couoldn’t entertain making it my primary instance unfortunately.
- Comment on ‘This shouldn’t be normal’: developers speak out about bigotry on Steam, the world’s biggest PC gaming storefront 2 weeks ago:
they also have to provide the additional labour of keeping hate speech off the platform in perpetuity.
The developers can choose to lock down and effectively disable discussions entirely if they want.
Steam simply provides devs a service, easy access to host a forum for their game w/o having to manage that separately. Using it is completely optional.
- Comment on If God had wanted us to have nearly unlimited clean energy, He would have placed a fusion reactor into the sky. 3 weeks ago:
The days the steam engine are numbered.
Not really. Unless there are some breakthroughs in technology that significantly lower capex & opex for grid scale energy storage, they’ll be sticking around for a long time.
There is an asterisk on the 1TW number, and that asterisk is capacity factor. In practice it means that depending on the time of year and location, the effective output of your solar panel will be between 0-40% of label capacity .
In my country for instance, you can expect 0-2% output from a panel in the winter time, which also happens to coincide with the peak demands (heating). Luckily, our politicians had some foresight in the 70s & 80s and built lots of hydro and nuclear power, which has been the backbone of our grid ever since (despite attempts to dismantle it).
- Comment on What challenge from a game isn't worth completing and what challenge from a game is worth completing? 1 month ago:
Most collecting achievements are just game filler really. The ones I find interesting are ones that im a more free-form game create an interesting goal to work towards.
For some of my favourites I’ve on occasion gone through the list and been like ‘Yeah that sounds like an interesting objective.’
The key for decent ones is usually that they are an achievable goal for one playthrough that act as a ‘guiding star’.
- Comment on What challenge from a game isn't worth completing and what challenge from a game is worth completing? 1 month ago:
My first Factorio playthrough was a Lazy Bastard run. The game is a lot more chill when turning off biter expansions & turning up trees slightly in the map gen.
Granted I think I racked up like 200hrs in that run, largely because I could leave the game running in the background whilst going off to study or do other stuff. Once you’re past the intial stage & have a mall set up, hand-crafting really doesn’t matter much.
There is no spoon was alright as a goal, but it also ends up being a definitive end to that playthrough (which, arguably, can be both good and bad).

A lot of the benefits people associate with capitalism require a free market. The US problem is that the megacorps have gotten sufficiently powerful to abolish that free market through regularory (and legal) capture, enabling entrenched monopolies.

- Comment on Top economist on the economy’s dirty truth: The only people who feel good are ‘making over $200,000’ and ‘have large stock portfolios’ 4 months ago:
Even in the screwed up US system there’s something wrong if you’re struggling to break even with a 200k income. That’s a household income in the 84th percentile for the US, or the top 2% globally (adjusting for PPP).
- Comment on Top economist on the economy’s dirty truth: The only people who feel good are ‘making over $200,000’ and ‘have large stock portfolios’ 4 months ago:
If you’re living paycheck to paycheck on a $200k household income, it sounds like you might want to rethink your budget.

False question fallacy.
Conservatives don’t solely define fascists as “being violent”, at least in my country.
- Comment on [deleted] 6 months ago:
Is it because I’m (probably) autistic?
No, it’s a basic human decency thing. No man I know would (intentionally) touch without invitation (whether verbal or body language) and if someone does they deserve a smacking.
The most common gray area is tight crowds where some assholes try to get away with groping disguised as “accidents” which is disgusting.

First time I’d seen it used as a verb and yet is made complete sense. Language is a wonderful thing.
