  Just ask AI to do it for you

  Just build your own open source versions of all that and you’ll be fine

  They are all just from the rib of a man or whatever it was anyway, right?

  Does a criminal arrest and conviction not matter to anyone before ganging up to take someones life?

  You would think an allegation serious enough to take someone’s life would be at least charged by some law enforcement agency, many of these crimes require they are reported by law, and a mandatory arrest must happen if it is reported. There should be no way for anyone to be free, needing to be hunted, without a criminal history. No distinction is made between someone with a criminal history and someone without, the allegation has become enough to destroy reputations, careers and lives. History is full of situations where an other type of label and class with no rights or due process is created. Then it is applied to people as needed to eliminate them. With LGBT stuff specifically, you see the lines between these labels being blurred. Even in Russia they have blurred the lines between LGBT, child abuse, domestic terrorism and dangers to national security. It doesn’t take much imagination to see it be applied in the U.S. QAnon was proof that anyone can be labelled by a large number of people with real actions taken to harm them, without any kind of formal process or charges. Just rumors that lead to vigilantes.

  At some point, there is no difference between that, Daniel Penny, or Luigi Manigone. From every side, we all agree that summary executions are acceptable. The end result of this is a break down of civil society as the justifications for extrajudicial murder expand to include as many things as necessary…

  This is an broken and outdated solution.

  Only from the perspective of being able to monetize and control communications among large numbers of people.

  For more than just angry X type reactions, the standard forum format is really a solved problem and has worked well for a long time. It’s only when these companies want to control what you see and sell the ability to do that do we get the news feeds. Even Reddit limits your direct message counts until you pay money for it.

  The old internet was so much better

  Yes and there was nothing really worth saving. Throw it all away and start over. It’s fine.

  It’s more than just SQL. Social Security Number can be re-used over time. It is not a unique identifier by itself.
