  • Yeah, no, this is at best, a misrepresentation of both, the anarchists’ beliefs, and the police’s function.

    The idea of anarchy is that NO authority should exist. No legitimacy can ever justify power over your fellow humans’ lives, nothing can EVER legitimize a politician’s power to harm. And politicians, among other things, have undeniable power to harm.

    The function of police, in all real measurements, is to protect ownership. That’s all they do.

    You said that there are many policemen who are in the force, in order to protect their communities. By all scientific measures, policing fails miserably in every single metric on that. They don’t reduce or prevent crime at all. Their only function when not corrupt, is to move in after, and remove the freedom, and later ownership (capital) of the offending party. A process, proven to not reduce crime or protect people, and occasionally shown to aggravate it.

    I understand your “Both Sides” argument sounds appealing, and, on some level, in my soul, I deeply wish it was true. Many leftists do.

    But unfortunately, I think you don’t really understand what either side is really standing for, yet.











  • Sorry for the snark, seeing how you seem to be a person, lemme answer more like a person too

    First, and most importantly, I think no one should police the way people speak, as long as no harm is done with that speech. Let them express themselves

    But also, while less important, “confusing” is just a very normal criticism to make for date formats. Even if they “literally just disagree”, the reason they disagree could very well be the fact that other formats are confusing!

    But yeah, this is all less important than it seems, you just set up some really low hanging fruit for me with that comment, no hard feelings

    Have a nice day!






  • It’s not computers, it’s the latest drama here in the Fediverse.

    Big frontend called Tessarect did a sneaky.

    They made a hidden shadow-ban list of instances, users, and phrases, keeping it secret from users and admins by not including it in the open source code and instead loading it at runtime, and added in there all non-centrist (instances, users, and phrases) they could think of. They also lied about it, by claiming it to be a technical issue, when any user looked for the banned instances from the front-end, instead of calling it what it is, a targeted exclusion.

    Essentially, hidden censorship, and sliminess.

    To the degree that some people, (like OP here), have taken it as a badge of honor, that they are among the ones banned by name, in that list.

    And some other people, are definitely not jealous.
