Protectionism has historically not done well for any country that’s implemented it. If we wanted to improve American industry, then we should be focusing our efforts and dollars on improving local industry to compete.

How in god’s good green earth does this law do any of that? It only legally binds American companies, and only where the site is mostly NSFW content.

Want porn? Go to a UK site. Or go to any site that’s 70% other content. Or if you’re 16 just Google “bikini” and wank to that.

This accomplishes nothing except the illusion of action, virtue signaling to Christians, and restriction of law abiding adults. Waste of time and money. They should be focusing on real things, the like fact Texas is poor and getting poorer.

brain rot

It’s a superior algorithm. You get what you engage with.

I’m going to miss the largest community of left leaning American creators, educators, and activists. I’ve learned so much about politics, social engagement, and community building.

But that’s just my feed. I’m sure there’s a lot of crap too.

Bwhahahaha

Consequences

Best laugh I’ve had all week

It’s not exponentially growing. At best, the growth rate has exponentially increased. These are VERY different things.

It was exponentially growing, the platform would come screeching to a halt and crash.

Under the surface

The numbers are growing

Simply to flip off the US government

We’re petty bitches

I love pancakes

They’re the best

It’s trivial to check which app is #1 in the app stores for social media

You fucking muppet

How’s that?

No one is paying per sale. Click through, sure.

Capitalists shouldn’t want the same. You can’t sell advertisements with “a million viewers” if you have to be honest about 990k of those being bots.

If men were nice to them, the mops would be willing.

Women really don’t ask for much.

Sorry, I was busy gagging on a boot or I would’ve responded sooner.

The rise of fascism across the United States is partially because they’ve been allowed to coordinate, and are public and loud with their normalization of hate.

Free speech absolutionists quickly run up against the paradox of tolerance. And at that point you get to choose. Do you want the most tolerance society or do you want full freedom of speech?

If you think you want full freedom of speech, then you don’t understand how people will abuse that to take it away from you anyway.

Only if you have a profit motive. Otherwise Lemmy wouldn’t work

So they’re an Amazon level publisher. No curation. Just publish.

Why not?

That’s up to the owner of the megaphone.

If the megaphone owner doesn’t want you to use it, create your own.

This isn’t about free speech. This is about amplification and publication of speech.

You can say whatever you want, but we shouldn’t guarantee you a megaphone to say it.

It would work if it were apes though.

Source: it did. Shakespeare existed.

That’s why I waited until four other people replied. Thanks for looking out.

Have you tried Adderall or strattera?
