What was DHH right about? Reference went over my head

This is big news. We all deserve to know who this person is and why he did what he did.

Surprised to see hn crowd advocating for censorship

I think it’s interesting that you choose to focus on this part of the situation. To me, it’s far more relevant that the general public has little, if any, recourse through legal means such as voting. This is what makes political violence inevitable, and some would say, fully justified.

No, they wouldn’t get cheaper. The profit margins in the healthcare industry would get bigger.

The legal system is owned from top to bottom by the ruling class. You will not be able to use it to loosen their death grip on society. They will not allow it.

We can’t vote our way towards a better future. The corrupt MAGA and DNC institutions strangle any nascent grassroots movement in the crib. And we cannot make them relinquish their death grip on our country with only bare hands.

Seriously shocked that this is the aspect of this moment in history that you choose to focus on, and not the absurd levels of violence perpetrated by the ruling classes against common people.

I always hear people say this, but it’s not clear to me what exactly is so difficult about using AI that otherwise-competent developers “can’t figure it out”

None of the things that you listed are stated goals of fediverse networks. In fact, they explicitly avoid them.

It’s crazy how the same people that are pro-labor union are also pro-immigration. How do they not realize that immigration is used as a weapon against labor organization? Workers movements of the 20th century were well aware of this obvious fact. But I guess in this hyper polarized culture, people are scared of being labeled a bigot for having a stance on immigration that divergent from the liberal orthodoxy

I don’t think that anyone has an issue with the block feature. The problem is when the platforms themselves decide to arbitrate which viewpoints are allowed. This was clearly visible during Covid, when divergent viewpoints were penalized aggressively.

You would see comments from random trolls under a whitelist model. You would only see stuff from your friends.

That implies that nonverbal people are unable to think, no?

I can’t tell if the commenter you replied to is being deliberately obtuse, or if they were literally born yesterday

> The unemployment rate just follows these smooth curves, covid was an exception, and it was due to jump again. Not very scientific I know.

Why did you feel the need to post this article? It totally lacks substance. The above quote says it all.
