Aktshually it seems like a very uneffective method.

that is the point, they are moving from Chinese app to Chinese app because the alternatoves are equally bad.

Corporations are good at acquiring users because they invest money, and the greatest tradeoff is social control and manipulation.

You thought tiktokers would come to Lemmy?

you cannot eat pedantry

Can someone ELI5 me the whole furry thing? Is this a community, is this a sexual thing? Is it an American thing?

yet expected

Either OP is a genius or a moron, or both

But that kind of activity is noise and pollution, it is better to talk less but with sane people

None of those is a metric, how do you measure dominance?

How are we for example dominating the food chain compared to mosquitos?

By which metric are humans the dominant species on this planet?

Dominic Toretto was not in Tokyo Drift, but I will allow it.

we should no expect goodwill from companies, that is why they need to be regulated.

it is actually a better news if it is a response to regulations, that means that the system works, at leas a bit

amazon, paypal, google, linkedin... they all love to talk to you but they don't want any you

We changed our Terms of Service to make them easier to read and to discharge liability in case there is lead in your product

Think of it as the society being the victim. The clearest example is when Trump started talking about Fake News. The goal is to devoid words of meaning, to reason based only on emotional attachment, to eliminate critical thinking. This guy follows the same strategy.

Below a definition of gaslighting, I think it applies pretty well to the kind of society these people are leaving behind:

Examples of gaslighting behaviors are denying something the other person knows is true, spreading rumors about them, and blaming the victim. The mental health impact of gaslighting includes feelings of powerlessness, confusion, isolation, disorientation, and low self-esteem

Thank you, I have been using that word wrong my whole life, I thought it meant a mob beating. I disagree on everything else, have a nice day.

It is 60m tall so...

I think you missed the message that started this conversation about the lynching and advocating for violence "If you are in proximity to this fuck and aren’t hitting him in the face then you’re not only a class traitor, but you’re a traitor to humanity."

In my opinion way to deal with violence, and that is why I quoted Asimov, is by being creative, educating, reasoning and having the moral high-ground.

Anyone that is violent for me is indistinguishable from "the people on the right".

Wow that was a quick appearance of the Godwins Law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law

If you cannot distinguish between WW2 vs. Lynching a person, then I don't know how a communication between you a and me is going to be possible.

Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent. ;)

He is saying that she didn't win, he lost.

Which is a longer way of saying that she won, he is contradicting himself.
