I use Nginx and let’s encrypt. Works super easily and auto updates.

Genuinely surprised and relived by the amount of common sense in this thread, that’s all I have to say

This… I know that my views aren’t the majority, but man do I love this platform and how people actually will have a legit conversation about issues.
The people who are over emotional and stirring the pot don’t get the same support here. Most just want the truth and to actually talk. I love this!

Here is a great example of the “if you’re not with us you’re against us” mentality: theguardian.com/…/centrism-insidious-bias-unjust-…
Reasonable views being cancelled:
Bari Weiss: A former opinion editor and writer at The New York Times, Weiss is known for her centrist views, often critiquing both the far-left and far-right. In July 2020, she resigned from the newspaper, citing a hostile work environment and alleging that her centrist stances led to bullying by colleagues.
Example of extremes people will go to silence the moderates…
Stefan Gelbhaar: A member of Germany’s Green Party, Gelbhaar, associated with the party’s more centrist “Realo” wing, was forced to withdraw from the federal election race following false sexual harassment allegations. An investigation later revealed that the accusations came from a fictitious persona created by a local Green official, leading to internal tensions within the party.

But how would that header be verified?
It has to be verified at some point by someone.
That header could also easy be used to exploit children online. All I would need to do is a simple intercept to log headers.
Either trust parents to do their jobs fully, and then hold them accountable, or draw a line at which point a child can be reasonably held responsible.
If a 6 year old steals, it’s the 6 year olds fault. They’re tried differently, but they still know betters this isn’t any different.

We disagree on the foundation of your argument, and that’s okay. The end state, I can 100% get behind and that’s some common ground.

It’s crazy that a pendulum swings drastically back and forth isn’t it? Not a false equivalency if you have any understanding of historical geopolitics.
If you marginalized and de platform an entire half of your voter base, and cancel people for taking a centrist stance, they’re more likely to band together against your cause, doing more harm long term than if you just toed a rational line.
IE. Because the right were treated the way you are now being treated for so long, they’re were polarized and radicalized to the result of who your president is now.
Also, not American, this isn’t just an American thing. This is happening globally.

Leftist lean is a bit of an understatement. It’s not just Reddit. In general, the radical left is being recognized for the violence and chaos they’ve spread over the last decade and the government is realizing they were left unchecked for too long.
Now they’re just being treated the same as the radical right.
- Comment on First Porn, Now Skin Cream? ‘Age Verification’ Bills Are Out of Control. 1 month ago:
Kids are babied already but if 14 year olds can vote in party elections, and 16 year olds can consent to sexual intercourse with adults, then I don’t think restricting porn is our problem. Either kids can make decisions, or all of these laws need to align with each other more logically.
We have taken parents rights away to allow children to make decisions on their gender and name changes, yet we expect parent to be responsible for their actions like accessing porn.
I could not care less about whatever the final say is on age restrictions, but if there are gonna be rules, at least make them make sense you know? I also do not love that I have to verify my identity to use the internet. Look at the UK and how that’s working out there even without IDs. Talk about authoritarian control.
This stuff is the whole reason I switched to this platform.

I love that we’ve gone so far that finally the left and right are on the same page. This is the progress I’ve dreamed of.
Giving the government more power is like letting someone beat you up for his fare when you could just walk 1km.

I mean, advocating for eating people is in itself a crime, so maybe the bot thought you were trying to push for cannibalism? 😂

This actually makes sense. The problem though, will be the same reason fact checkers failed; personal and institutional bias on what’s considered acceptable.
Only an unbiased AI could do this well, and that’s a loose statement.
- Comment on Reddit could soon punish users for upvoting violent content. 1 month ago:
Every Reddit mod is thriving in victim culture. The instant someone makes a complaint, they become a victim, and the smooth brained mods are incapable of removing their anchoring bias from their brains when making a decision.
- Comment on Reddit will warn users who repeatedly upvote banned content 1 month ago:
To be clear, they’re talking about banning right wing people. Reddit is one of the most liberal platforms you will find.
You can’t even talk economics on Reddit without being downvoted to fuck, or banned.
I am a centrist, and I routinely had posts removed and got banned from communities for saying things from actual textbooks taught currently in universities.
No one is attacking the free speech of the left unless it’s radical and advocating for physical harm.
