There will be thought police of a different kind. Gab.com is what you are looking for, if you can stomach it.

Wew lad hot take there. I'd rather rot my brain by listening to enjoyable music than social media doomscrolling. Besides Taylor Swift is to pop music like Shakespeare is to Youtube comments.

Hello fellow HN swiftie. I've also been pondering creating some (non copyright infringing) Taylor Swift app recently. Something like this is always a good idea as I'm constantly doing double takes to make sure I'm listening to Taylor's Version whenever a Red or Fearless track starts playing. I wonder if this would be possible too for Youtube playlists/suggestions, as that's my primary streaming music source. Also, since this app is written in Swift (natch), don't suppose there's any possibility of an Android port?

I know this is an unpopular take among reddit swifties, but I really miss The Swift Life app. When it shut down part of me wanted to reverse engineer the server-side to keep it going. It was a unique social media app and had a great, creative and artistic community. I even got free rep tickets from a friend on it! Also Taymojis. I still keep the app's icon on my phones homescreen, and launch it every now and then...

> Direct your energy at something important

Like paying musicians reasonable amounts of money per stream? People have been complaining about this since the very beginning of Spotify. But as usual woke nonsense takes up all the air in the room because it's fiscally irrelevant.

> Soviets were allies of the US against Nazis, they didn't kill millions of americans nor did they wish genocide on anyone. They do not stand as a symbol if rebellion against legitimate government either.

Are we talking about the people who fought a revolutionary war against the monarchy of the Russian Empire, eventually murdering the Tsar's family, wife and kids included? Then proceeded to stoke violent class warfare and political purges throughout Soviet territory, including the Holodomor in Ukraine. All the while funding communist revolt in other countries across the Far East and Europe. Those guys right?

Genocide aside, the Nazi takeover of Wiemar Germany was almost completely on the level comparatively. But both regimes racked up massive body counts, and both did so with intention.
