If a copyright bot makes false DMCA notices, the programmers should be held responsible as if they sent out the notices. That's how we'd handle it for any other crime.
The DMCA still has a lot of problems. Like if someone uploads something behind a paywall, the victim has to pay before they can even send a valid notice.
You can probably post on 7.62x54r.ru. Reddit had a decent number of anti-establishment leftists who would join up with conservatives on shared issues. I haven't seen any spaces like that on Lemmy.
Far right radicalization will get worse if progressives leave X. Conservatives will stick around simply because they aren't banned and then the white supremacists will be free to start pulling them without push back.
I remember getting Call of Duty Finest Hour at the store.
It ultimately was a major contribution that led to my sister transitioning roughly a decade later. She spent a lot of time playing the female soldier levels.
That's why I feel like there should be both systems. Possibly public and private healthcare, but with the additional requirement that everyone has to have health insurance. Otherwise there's going to be too much of a problem with young people not getting insurance and not paying in. You'll also have NEETs and neckbeards who work 12 hour weeks and aren't paying anything in to the system.
I have mixed feelings. "Because I said so" can get compliance in high school, but that's mostly it. It's not going to be that effective. At the same time, a lot of this overly permissive parenting seems like a reaction by people who are upset about being told no as kids and that will lead to problems, especially once they get into places that don't care about constantly trying to have a debate back and fourth.
A lot of the old forum applications still exist. A lot of old school forums are actually still around. The problem with old school forums compared to Reddit or Lemmy is that it's just so much easier to get people to join a subreddit or a Lemmy community. If someone discovers a subreddit, all they need to do is go there and start posting. Creating a new account usually isn't that hard but it's still a considerable hurdle for someone who is considering joining.
Old school forums are simply too decentralized. It's a lot easier to get reddit.com to come up in search results then it is for some relatively obscure forum.
I'm going to try setting up an instance but one issue with it that I see is that instance owners will be the only permitted uploaders for most instances since storage and bandwidth is a huge issue when it comes to video hosting platforms.
Odysee is is one of the few alternative platforms with a decent left wing audience. The only other majority progressive platforms are Mastodon and Lemmy, though Lemmy has a lot of neo-progressive tankies and angry conservative tankies.
The vast majority of people aren't even going to know or care. A lot of people will probably just continue on even when their adblocker becomes less effective. Of course the type of people who use adblockers are also more likely to wonder why their adblocker suddenly became less effective and then switch to a browser where it's more effective.
It takes a lot to change the inertia that already exists. People have been predicting the rise of the Linux desktop for at least a decade now and it still hasn't really caught on.
