How is it in terms of privacy and results now? I tried it a month or two back and it was not good. I really want to get behind tree planting but these issues are a block

This problem is US specific, I guess. Many countries disallow politicians to trade or at least limit it severely.

Disagreements are more important than agreements, otherwise it just forms echo chambers

There is no real “guidelines” about what votes should be used for. Some people use upvotes for visibility, some use it for agreeing. Downvotes are used for disagreeing, reducing visibility, ad hominem, what not.

Even on a personal level, I cannot clearly say what criteria I use for deciding what to vote

At least no one follows me around everywhere I comment

Thing is people often confuse criticism or opposition to any one side as absolute and unwavering support of anything the enemy does. Zero place for nuance.

Wow, that is something. People are so fucking touchy about this war. This extreme prejudice against people who are even slightly anti Ukraine are banned left and right, no nuance.

Making a new browser is easy.

Then why doesn’t anyone else do it? We have only 3 real browsers.

If they have 34.5 billion lying around, why don’t they make a new browser themselves?

Thing is votes are federated. if someone makes an instance and farms votes by making bots on same instance, only instance owner has info about IPs. Every other instance thinks the votes are legit.

It is not about the vote. It is about knowing what is public and what is not.

What???

I’m angry because I’m actively running out of places to avoid entitled little shits like you and I don’t like it.

Maybe time for some introspection? Touch some grass? Internet is what it is. You are expecting it to fit your mould more than me.

Why the anger?

I don’t want to be anonymous. I want to know that I am not anonymous.

Who is Yura?

You are obsessed with me, so I thought you want to be friends.

I am saying it should be made clear. I never said that it not specified anywhere and I can drag them to court for it.

It is not the problem of my instance per se. It is a problem for all instances because everyone has to agree to instance terms but they kind of are agreeing to all instances’ terms.

Hi Felix! Long time no see lol. I think we will become friends before Trump sucks Putin’s dick on Friday
