I mean yeah I agree, hence why I already said that after rethinking about it the factor of money doesn’t make sense for a potential reason to sell TikTok

With China/the CCP’s supposed financial struggles, selling TikTok to Elon for immediate liquidity does actually make sense.

huh just the fact that this could happen is a bit funny to see as it does signal that capitalism is a stronger force than authoritarianism

very odd

Edit:
Actually rethinking about this, I’m reconsidering the idea that instead of money the CCP’s probably wants the control of public perception, money doesn’t really make too much sense as selling TikTok would only provide short term cash unless they’re desperate… surely not right?

So u want to silence someone for their beliefs.

Allowing people to spout whatever nonsense and cause harm to others is reckless at best, ignorant and insane at worst. I’m old but not old enough to have dementia.

Free speach does not mean u have a right to not be offended.

The argument of free speech so hollow, I’ve seen it used by right-wingers as a rallying cry when in reality free speech is free yes but simutaneously it does not mean free of consequences.

He’s in violation of our TOS and probably several others which reminds me @[email protected] you’ll want to see the last image with dumbass Zuck at the top

Reports don’t just go to mods, they go to admins as well.

You’re not wrong. Again however if the mod dismisses the report, the admin(s) would be unaware of the report unless they check the All tab. On P.D. anyways the report queue defaults to Unread, not sure if that can be changed on the newer instance versions.

And you can usually contact admins in other ways on most instances.

Again true, however [a user who’s already made a report] is it highly likely that they’d message the admins for an update? maybe?

It’s a non-zero possibility, but for my own report experience I actually just send a report and forget about it (unless I’m personally looking and pondering the reports queued on P.D’s report page, earlier last year I tried to send messages to users who made reports saying thank yous or updates on what happened to their reports).

For any users here please comment if you’ve asked for an update I’m actually genuinely curious what the frequency is.

Edit:
Ah right I just remembered that I wanted to request for a feature that community moderators can’t dismiss the report that’s made about them. This is the same copyright loophole system that exists in Youtube.

“The claimant gets to review the dispute, the guy who wants to have my song; he gets to decide if he actually owns my song.”

This is the same contradictory system in a slightly different manner:
The defendant gets to review the dispute, the guy who’s been reported; they get to decide whether to accept or reject the report.

I noticed this paradox earlier last year when I made some terrible posts and asked the P.D. team to review the reports made on me as I didn’t want to fall into this trap.

Best you can do is report them for the spamming in the instances they do it on.

I’ve made a separate comment here that explains why this might not work as they are the moderator for the communities that they created.

It’s actually different and better as the previous naming scheme was actually horrendous (trying to explain it to customers was a nightmare).

Cause previously if you wanted to figure out what speed of USB port you were getting you’d have to look up the table because me telling you that a port was USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 doesn’t tell you jack shit.

Can you see how cursed this is for non-tech savvy people? Absolutely terrible.

Thankfully now the new naming scheme will be:
USB +

• 5 Gbps
• 10 Gbps
• 20 Gbps
• 40 Gbps

So the xkcd meme actually isn’t relevant here.

@[email protected] and @[email protected] thanks for mentioning Servo👍

I didn’t know about that rust-based alternative until now and I agree; even Servo would’ve been a better choice than Chromium.

Chromium really?

After the whole debacle of manifest v3 they’re really choosing Chromium of all browsers to develop on?

Mozilla has made some controversial decisions but surely Firefox would be the better decision for the Linux and FOSS ecosystem.
Even better why not Librewolf?

Seeing this news makes me sad as there are better options available and the Linux foundation chose the worst one out of all of them.

• [EFF] Chrome Users Beware: Manifest V3 is Deceitful and Threatening
• Tens of thousands of Chrome extensions at risk due to Manifest V3
• Your privacy on Chrome is at risk, here’s what you can do

Ironically I also just saw this here on the fediverse: Google loses in court, faces trial for collecting data on users who opted out

There is no slavery in Ba Sing Se

If user A from instance 0 is banned from instance 1, then they can’t post on any instance 1 posts

but on instances outside of 1, they’ll still be able to interact with instance 1 users as far as I’m aware.
