  • That's because it literally is the result of mozila, Microsoft and later Google fighting about what the right language choices were/are. Browser detection scripts and shims are still a thing, but back in the day we had to code that shit by hand every, and I mean every, minor version release of every browser.

  • 95% of all cattle feed is corn in the US. Raised to 600lbs or so before being put on the feed lot. Finishing in this case can be the final 400-600lbs fed on 95% corn.

    About 40% of all corn grown in the US is grown exclusively for feed nearly all of which is used within the US.

  • Alright, corporate censorship requires that there be the threat of monetary loss or loss of access that will result in loss of money. So this can't be corporate censorship.

    It's not self censorship because it's not a person censoring their own work.

    That leaves only the possibility for it to be censorship by an organizing body, which requires that the organizing body be the principle body through which all media is distributed or authorized for distribution. Any single instance does not meet this definition. It is arguably possible that if the process by which activitypub was centralized under a single authority body, and that body decided to remove any instance spreading a specific message that could be a form of censorship.

    You claim that I am ignoring your examples. It should be immediately obvious that my counter example is your argument reworded to be non technical. I'm sorry that you don't understand this or what it means.

    You claim that I am ignoring the dictionary definition. I am not. Once again, you claiming something to be true doesn't make it true. Defederation is not the suppression of anything.

    I'm sorry that you don't understand this. I don't know how else to tell you.

    I haven't once insulted you in this thread before this but Go fuck yourself.

  • No... No it really isn't. It's not rude to expect others to participate in things. If I am cooking and my wife is not doing anything, it's not rude of me to ask her to come to me to talk to me... It would be rude of her to make me stop and go to her to ask her a question if she isn't busy... That's not an emergency situation. If she is busy then the situation is different.

    I also think people don't realize that "in a minute* or"I'm busy" is an acceptable answer to"can you come here" questions.

    Again... Perpetually demanding your partner to come to you is problematic.

    But it isn't inherently wrong to ask your partner to do things.

  • No... No... The studies account for that. Most cattle in the US are fed human quality base ingredient feed... It's much cheaper to feed them corn meal than anything else. (I say base ingredient because the standard on cattle feed as a whole is not human grade, but the bulk of the food, the corn, could be human grade if it had been processed for humans instead of cattle.)

    The water numbers are pretty well understood.

  • That's literally the same thing. He isn't a dog either. Both people should be going to the other. Plus if one person is in the middle of something that can't be paused, the other person should do the moving.

    If it is always an order, then there is an issue.

  • Except an instance isn't a country. It isn't a government. This instance isn't operated by or for a government. Most instances are owned and operated by a single individual or a small group of people.

    If you owned a coffee shop, and you banned someone for standing in a booth screaming racial slurs, that's not censorship. It is irrelevant how that person got to the coffee shop. It isn't even censorship for Starbucks to ban someone from all of their stores.

    To make the analogy more complete. Suppose you had two entrances to your shop. Those entrances adjourn to neighboring restaurants/shops. Suppose one of your neighbors screams racial slurs in their own shop. You can't stop them except by asking nicely. Suppose they don't stop. They attract a bunch of people like themselves who scream racial slurs all day. Now, you could ban the people who come in to your shop screaming slurs through that entrance one by one sure... Or you could shut that entrance and lock it. Shutting the door isn't censorship.

    You haven't made it illegal for them to scram racial slurs. You haven't imposed on their rights to freely operate their business as they wish. But you not keeping that entrance open isn't censorship.

    It would be censorship if the government made it illegal to scream racial slurs. It would be censorship if you locked them out of and prevented them from using something they owned themselves... (It's not censorship for a landlord to kick a tenant out of a building they own for spray painting hate speech on the building for example).

  • You can continue to incorrectly call this censorship if you want, but you are going to continue to be wrong.

    It's obvious that you have difficulty with disambiguating the appropriate levels of abstraction for use with the words based on your examples. At this point, it's either intentional rhetoric designed to try and confuse others or pride and ignorance. I am starting to lean towards bad actor.

  • Except it's literally not the suppression or prohibition of anything.

    It's not censorship if you don't let people into your house. It's not censorship if you don't let people paint on your walls.

    This isn't the government. This isn't the prevention or suppression or public speech. They can (and do) post that shit. You are free to go read it.

    Almost no media platform is required to host or publish any content they don't want to. What do you not understand about this?
