15 years ago I did a school paper on the pros of psychoactive drugs, including a presentation in front of my class.

Nowadays I’d have to make a public YouTube video to stop the hate I’d receive. Or at least get kicked out of class.

Nobody really cared about stuff that wasn’t affecting them.

God you’re evil.

How can I do it?

It means the maintainers have frozen their thongs.

Can’t win 'em all.

How could I have missed that, lol. Thanks.

Anyways, I don’t think it’s too weird. It might even be to simply have their name up there. We’ll have to see.

This Lemmy thread is not an appropriate arena to advertise your personal politics.

Do you have a source for that? I’m trying to look for donors but don’t really find anything.

We would like to do Windows eventually, but it’s not a priority at the moment.

intentionally ignoring

I think you just read what you wanted to read don’t you think?

Consider Edge you edgy man.

I am the admin of a website where we have a place where our users can post custom content and rate the content of others.

We have discussed how it works and should work many times and came to the conclusion that we’d never want it to be public. Any report of abuse will be checked by the website owner directly in the database and even admins don’t have full access. Everybody tries to stay as far away from the personal ratings as possible.

We also noticed that it would be a lot more fragile when there are not many voters. A whole group that is negative about something wouldn’t get as much harassment as a single person having a unique opinion.

On our website we have a comment section that isn’t anonymous, and we even noticed that people often don’t post something negative when it would be obvious that they are the only one who has voted/rated something. (“Negative” is almost always constructive in our case)

These are just a few things that I think add to this discussion.

Making a browser addon/extension wouldn’t be too hard if you can get the data somewhere. And then it’s just a click of a button to get the functionality.

Hence why I gave a solution. It would simply become spam that should be handled by the instance where it originates from.

What if an instance sends 1000 fake hashes as votes?

What’s the difference from users though?

You’d give each user an anonymous vote ID that only the instance can link back to their username.

It should actually be made more private.

I don’t think any of the soldiers on the frontline are even worth torturing to be honest. None of them know anything as they’re simply being told to do something.

NFTs and every other cryptobro have destroyed its reputation.

If you use Odysee you don’t even have to know anything about crypto or blockchains, it just works like YouTube.

Odysee just removed all ads of their platform and seems like a great YouTube alternative. I’ve been using it and uploading videos to it and I’m liking it a lot.

The comments are also much higher in quality. I’d say it’s comparable like Lemmy and Reddit. Much more positivity and people who actually add something to a video. You do ofcourse have a few Nazis hanging around, but freedom goes both ways and you don’t really come across them.

Besides that just use NewPipe on mobile or an AdBlocker.

Gotta keep you addicted to the content they know will steal your attention.

Psychological dopamine abuse.

I wonder why these 2 countries specifically.

Some time ago it was reported that Russian Wagner groups have been spotted in Venezuela.

Now these 2 countries have banned Signal.

America being the worldwide laughingstock when it comes to politics has lost it’s charm. The last few years Idiocracy has become the better alternative.
