A lot less annoying then endlessly filtering content by community and user

    So far I find it to be nonsense. Call the US a terrorist nation for couping democratically elected leader in favour of dictators for over a hundred years, get downvoted and banned by amerophiles. Call China or Russia terrorist nations for literal genocide, wars and international strongman bullying, get downvoted and banned by tankies.

    Can’t say retard because that’s a slur but idiot is fine despite it meaning the absolutely same thing, also calling someone slow but in french is also fine.

    People are so hardcore pro priphacy would literally rather see child rapists go free and child porn platforms stay online, than to have to tolerate the police scan outgoing connections for a specific IP for three days.

    Lemmy feels more and more like extremist echo chambers without any actual discourse or exchange.

      No, your reasoning, understanding of a topic and way of talking is just dumb. Get rid if that paranoia of everyone bullying you. Don’t go into threads of your political opposite and then be surprised to get flogged. Don’t brush of everyone disagreeing with you as “they are all the same and equally bad”. Stop ignoring authoritarian abusing power and wake up from you fantasy dream world where you believe this doesn’t happen. Once you’ve given up some of your rights, it’s really hard to get them back. No one is defending pedo platforms, it’s about our lifes and knowledge that these surveillance tools will fuck up normal people. It just takes one stupid vote to get the fascists into power and a whole country can move into a dictatorship. If you fail to see this, your very naiv and need to study more history content.

      You’re not wrong in criticizing the US, people who look at them objectively should obviously see the many flaws. But as with guns , the US is very patriotic and it’s difficult to argue against. But getting someone to realize and fix their own bias is another difficult topic.

        Yeah CIA likes to overthrow foreign governments, some democratically elected, and destabilize nations. They say they don’t do it anymore but who knows. It’s pretty public knowledge.

        Edit: I live in America and it’s like that thing where you can talk shit about your own family.

          I meant the “for over a hundred years” part specifically, I bolded it but it’s not as noticeable as it should be.

            oh yeah for sure. Dude they orchestrated a coup and took over Hawaii in the like 1800s.

            Plus I think there was fuckery in Latin America even back then.

              The Monroe Doctrine has been a guiding principle of American geopolitics since its conceptualization in 1823, whether or not America has had the power to necessarily enforce it.

              The goal is clear, the Western Hemisphere is America’s property to do with as it pleases and interference will not be tolerated.

              Just the history of Haiti alone and the Banana Wars in general proves the point for at least 100 years.

      People are so hardcore pro privacy would literally rather see child rapists go free and child porn platforms stay online, than to have to tolerate the police scan outgoing connections for a specific IP for three days.

      This does not make sense. If police suspect a crime and have valid reasons for surveillance, nobody would have an issue with it warrant was obtained.

      Privacy crowd is pretty clear, we are not here to enable crime. But we will not tolerate police state for a fake feeling of “security”

      Can you provide some context what you are actually trying to say here?

        Sure. Happened at .org and exactly how I told it. Police monitored all outgoing connections of all users of a certain provider over three days, waiting for someone to connect to a certain IP. Lead to the catch of the operator of a giant child porn site on the darkweb as well as several of his accomplices.

        People complained about the breach of privacy and overreach of government. Not a joke.
