I'm the same way. I don't block people I disagree with but my tolerance for assholes is quite low. I block multiple people each day and have been doing so for over a year. When I see a thread about Elon or Trump for example I just go in and find all the most toxic commentors there and block them. Again, not because I disagree but because I don't want to see incivil assholes in my feed. If I see someone write mean comments I assume that's what they do and I want nothing to do with them. Currently my blocklist is around 600 users long.
What does greed have to do with spreading misinformation? Even the term itself implies ignorance. If it was intentional it would be called disinformation.
I'm no phycisist but I'd bet that the claim "it consumes no energy" is almost certainly false. I get what they mean but this isn't exactly a honest way to describe it.
No, I'm sure it's probably that easy and they simply refuse to do so because they're evil. I wish Lemmy would run the world so we'd have all things sorted out in no time.
In order to live off of one person's income that person either needs to earn a shit ton of money or prices needs to come down significantly. That's not something anyone can just make happen like that.
My theory is that if we split people into two groups - those who hit snooze and those who don’t - and dropped them on a desert island to survive, one group would rebuild civilization while the other descended into chaos and perished.
Humans are not getting any better at driving. Self-driving cars will eventually lead to tens of thousands of human lifes saved annually. Why do you want to prevent this?
I don't get how it is so hard for people to admit that some number of the "Pro Palestine" people are motivated by antisemitism just the same way Hamas is. Not everyone, but some, and the rest turn a blind eye to it.
Interesting how the response in comments entirely depends on whose doing the torturing despite the fact that in both cases we're still talking about the same group of civilians.
