It’s honestly been kind of sad to watch tp devolve from a semi-coherent nutter to someone whose obvious mental illness is causing them to lose touch with reality. I hope they get the help they need soon.
You don’t even know what you’re saying any more; I suggest you seek help for your obvious mental health issues, which may include early onset dementia.
Yes, yes, you think nobody but corporations should be allowed to make anything creative and the rest of humanity should be tossed into the Sun at your earliest convenience. Christ, go shit up Gab or something.
You can’t optimize—or even create—an automatic copyright filter that can’t discern context. You couldn’t even stop yourself from ripping off Scott Cawthon.
It’s kind of darkly hilarious: If the anti-vaxxers and the maskholes hadn’t fought against the actions being mandated back when those actions were voluntary, they wouldn’t have any mandates to fight against.
“The libs” won’t join Truth Social for any reason other than trolling, much as they did with Parler. They already have Twitter; why would they ever seriously sign up for a service full of nothing but the kind of people they’re actively trying to avoid on Twitter?
Morality can probably be objective, if you define it as "doing what's best for the most people over the long run".
Executing serial killers who would otherwise be serving life sentences might be “doing what’s best for the most people over the long run”, but is it an objectively moral act?
we don't even know how to measure how good a moderation system is
A good moderation system keeps a community from devolving into a free-for-all of abuse and trolling—i.e., from turning into a 4chan ripoff. Moderation is community curation; if mods don’t curate the community they want, they’ll end up with the community they deserve.
Blaming a specific ethnic group for all the world’s ills only because said ethnic group exists is scapegoating. Blaming the stand-alone complex that is the anti-vaxxer/maskhole brigade for helping keep a viral pandemic alive because they’re helping keep said viral pandemic alive is putting the blame where it belongs.
Let’s assume you’re correct in your assumption, in that the vaccine may not completely stop the spread of the virus. The vaccine still hinders the spread of the virus, though—and any form of COVID-19 spread through vaccinated people will most likely be weakened due to the vaccine.
Now, what do you think will happen if enough people are vaccinated against the virus, such that it has few-to-no new victims to infect and no way to properly mutate into new (and possibly deadlier) variants?
Also, if you think vaccines don’t eventually stop diseases, please go look up polio.
I believe it will at least open as promised. I don’t see it lasting even six months, though. Giving it a year may be too generous, but I think Old 45 would at least try to keep it alive through the midterms.
Facebook has a right to moderate content on its servers. You don’t have a right to make Facebook host your content. Losing your spot on Facebook is not censorship.
None of those statements are factually incorrect and you can’t prove they are.
there are even some people suggesting that Truth Social is merely a reskin of Mastodon
No suggesting about it—it is a Mastodon reskin. The timeline and settings screenshots in those tweets are of a Mastodon instance as seen through the end user’s side of things. All Truth Social did was recolor stuff so it would resemble Twitter, because Trump is that obsessed with “owning” Twitter or whatever.
On the bright side, the “Fediblock” movement already put out a notice about Truth Social. They want to make sure as few instances as possible can be tainted by Trump’s instance via federation. Can’t say I blame ’em.
Also: Any bets on how long this Trumpian business venture will last? I’m guessing that this thing doesn’t make it to 2023.
Many copies are secretly posted by marketers working for the copyright holder to build social media buzz. Automatic filters can't detect that either.
To wit: Viacom employees uploaded videos of material owned by Viacom to YouTube, some of which later served as part of the foundation for Viacom’s lawsuit against YouTube.
I wouldn’t be too sure about the “reinvent streaming every time” thing; when WWE initially decided to start its own streaming service, they turned to MLB Advanced Media for the infrastructure. No, the biggest issue with a “unified sportsball streaming service” is—as you alluded to—all the different sporting leagues wanting their own piece of the pie. The NBA, the NFL, and the NHL will not want to split revenue with MLB (or each other), and that’s even before you get into leagues for sporting events such as car racing (e.g., NASCAR).
