Do you apply this same logic to Gaza considering their leadership?

I haven’t ever needed to wait. I go in, hand them my ID, they cross my name off the list, hand me the ballot, I go to the booth and write a number, dude stamps it, I drop it to the box and I’m out. Takes about 3 minutes from when I step out of my car untill I’m back in again.

That’s a really black and white way to look at it. These are complex issues. Any attempt to find a simple explanation to them is by definition going to be oversimplifying it massively.

Sure, and not just that. Most, if not all people I know of whom I’d consider a ‘normal’ don’t spend time commenting on social media. By definition, everything we read on here comes from this self-selecting group of people who do not represent the majority.

I specifically post here with the expectation of being challenged. That’s the whole point of it. I love a good debate.

I’ve always just muted users instead of blocking anyway. I don’t care if they see what I post. I just want them out of my sight

So Twitter is one step closer to being like Lemmy

Ever been to Lemmy?

My blocklist is already over 500 users long. I don’t block people for disagreeing with me. The bubble I’m building for myself is a bubble free from unreasonable assholes.

However, you didn’t really answer my question. Blocking an entire instance is already a feature. That’s way more ‘heavy handed’ than what I’m suggesting.

Adblocker works on twitter too though, and I don’t really mind Elon profiting from my use of Twitter anyway. People should be compensated for running social media platforms like twitter.

What about Lemmy instances defederating others? We not hearing from people on Twitter, Threads, Facebook, Truth Social and Gap either, and what about the block feature in itself? If what I’m asking is ‘issue for society,’ then are these not?

I don’t think anyone is in the position to dictate what everyone’s social media feeds should consist of. If someone wants to make them a perfect information bubble, devoid of different opinions, then let them. That’s of no harm to me.

Amazing how they can be wrong about literally everything while we’re right on every issue.

I post gay porn. The number or right-wing rednecks that follow me with their public profiles is… confusing.

I tend to feel that if it’s a streaming service providing access to a wide range of videos, it could be argued that you don’t own them and, therefore, can’t download them either. However, you could still have the option to pay extra to actually purchase the video too. That money should go to the creator, though, who, of course, would also set the price. That could be free too. I, for example, have no issue with people watching my car repair ‘tutorials’ on YouTube for free.

Sure, I have nothing against that. I, however, still think that whatever platform hosts their videos deserves some compensation, right? So that’s going to be either subscribtion, ads or donations.

Ok, but ‘fuck subscriptions’ is a blanket statement directed at the subscribtion business model as whole, including the hypothetical well run, and non-greedy ones.

Right, but I don’t see how simply being on the platform makes one part of the problem.

Yle.fi which is Finnish state media, similar to BBC.

Joe Rogan Experience, Modern Wisdom, Making Sense, Lex Fridman Podcast to name a few I listen to the most.

Sure, but it’s also a fact that many of the YouTubers whose videos I deeply enjoy wouldn’t be able to make them if it didn’t make them any money
