  • Why does the fediverse not have a privacy control to limit who can see and interact with your posts?

    Because of the way the protocol works.

    There is no way to accomplish this is a publicly federated network without trusting the portals people use and/or creating some sort of public key exchange on friend requests.

    This results in privacy breaches being as simple as compromising one node, or writing some code to make a node hostile.

    The key idea would be basically when you friend/follow someone you send them your public key, they keep a list of keys and encode/individually send followed messages to people. Very onerous.



  • There should be efforts to duplicate the results in an ethical way, the lack of rigorous ethics indicates biases. If you tortured a guy for research, did you also do less bad things like falsify results?

    The Stanford prison experiment is a good example, afaik they published in several journals and I don’t believe any of them have printed retractions. There are huge problems with the methodology that are still being discussed, and the results are still being referenced.







  • It eludes to criminal culpability, but doesn’t point out who would actually be charged, or with what crime, or what authority would be persecuting. You’re using ambiguity to further your narrative.

    Maybe get your ducks in a row on some facts, and then you’ll actually be able to hold warmongers accountable.

    Spouting nonsense about criminality does nothing for the innocent dead, and does nothing to prevent deaths by these people.

    Look at some statistics about incarceration in the US. Personal possession of plants has people in jail. There’s absolutely a difference between crimes and morals, you aren’t going to get justice conflating them.
