Actually it's worse than nothing. Youtube promotes comments based on engagement, so while only an upvote increases the tally, voting at all still makes it more visible.

It's not the same. Most people calling the 2016 election a sham will admit that Trump did technically win by the rules as written, but also think that those rules are bullshit because they allowed a multi-million person majority to be shut out in favor of a malevolent moron. The people saying Biden lost are saying he literally cheated and that there's a conspiracy of thousands of government employees collaborating to break the rules and subvert the will of the people; that the multi-million majority literally doesn't exist. This is just as disingenuous as comparing the top secret documents that Trump hid to the ones that Biden and Pence handed over immediately on request.

A month or two ago I got a bunch of downvotes for explaining why I didn't like a game. The people responding said it was because my comment was "too long." It was like six sentences. Why are these people on Reddit instead of Twitter?
Completely insane that a judge could order that an entire family's phones be so thoroughly monitored at all. Once upon a time it was a big deal to even get a wiretap.
Well if you stopped to THINK about it for a second you'd realize that the TRUE manmade climate change is god punishing us for all kinds of LGBTQ+ depravity. Gay sex is so hot it causes global warming!
I don't wanna celebrate deaths, but it is wild to me how much of a story this is compared to, say, the boat full of migrants that the Greek government purposely allowed to die.
Those migrants were simply people seeking a better life. They deserve far more in terms of coverage and rescue efforts than a couple of rich aholes who spent their money on a tourist trap
It seems like a deliberate attempt to cause trouble and a federation debate to me. All that nonsense belongs on exploding-heads where it can be easily ignored
Second, before he bought twitter, almost everything he said there was him trolling or joking. You had to take everything he said there with a grain of salt. If you wanted to hear his actual opinions on things you needed to either listen to shareholder meeting or watch one of the many interviews he does.
people say the same shit about trump. "take him seriously, not literally." musk is an egotistical moron who will change his opinion day by day, claiming after the fact that anything he said that was blatantly wrong was just a joke
being justified or not has nothing to do with whether something is violent. if someone is getting hurt, maimed, or killed, that's violence, no matter how much they deserve it.
Meta/Facebook and Google/Alphabet are very different from Twitter/X. The first two created parent companies under which their large brand names still exist, but are now managed along with their other properties (Instagram, Snapchat, Waymo, Deepmind, etc.) Musk, meanwhile, is trying to completely burn down the Twitter brand for some incomprehensible reason.
you cant make a post like this without listing the mods!
woaw!
if you didn't know, this guy is great. he has a youtube channel where he electrocutes himself for fun your education
and silo'd academia has only gotten 100x worse since then. i can't even imagine how much progress has been lost thanks to greedy academic "journals" keeping anyone from reading their papers, stopping widespread peer review, and destroying scientists' ability to assemble wide bodies of evidence
It's a bug. Not sure if it'll get fixed anytime soon, though... the guy who runs my instance explained it to me here: https://lemm.ee/comment/171585
Their "press email" is literally just a bot that auto responds with the poop emoji. Has been for months.
The point I'm making is that the "fire" is a classic example of speech that isn't protected in the US, but with this ruling there's no way to prove intent. So what if I sat down and continued watching the movie afterwards? I just got over the delusion. And someone with tourette's would probably apologize, try to calm people down, or even avoid a theater altogether. I'm pretty sure that someone with a peanut allergy can't sue a peanut farm if they go visit and sample the produce; if you know there's an extra danger for you specifically in performing an activity then you are responsible.
Not to mention tourette's could never cause targeted, violent, electronic-message based harassment either. This is a focused, intentional action.
God is watching you! From the corner. With a handful of lotion.
you can think of them as different windows into a similar structure. They look different, they'll assemble the data a bit different, and might even send slightly different forms--but they're close enough that it's all legible, all interpretable into their formats.
And kbin and lemmy have very similar formats! But it's possible for mastodon (the twitter analogue) to interact with kbin and lemmy as well. Even though they present the data in a different way, with different sorting criteria for your feed, and different ideas on how subscribing to a community or a person works, at the end of the day the formats are very similar: a parent post with a bunch of comments.
Extremely rarely do racists, homophobes, transphobes, and the like specifically say "I hate x," because then it gets harder to rationalize that away both to yourself and others.
That said, yes, she has. Lots of claiming being trans isn't a legitimate identity. Referring to trans women as "trans identifying men." Wrote a literal novel about trans women being serial killers, sniffing panties and hanging out in bathrooms to claim their next victims. Trying to speak for cis lesbians and claiming trans women are especially dangerous to them, despite cis lesbians being one of the least transphobic demographics and not being a lesbian herself. Retweeting hateful statements from even more blatant transphobes. Oh and I nearly forgot, straight up taking the label "TERF" and wearing it like it's somehow a badge of pride.
I know you said you don't want to watch some super long youtube video about it but I'm going to link to two of them anyway; it's a complex topic! They're pretty funny and come from the perspective of a trans woman with a background in academia. This one is pretty recent and comes with the added bonus of teaching you a lot about the history of social justice in general, and the fight for LGBT rights in particular. This one is older but is more focused on Rowling. Just keep in mind she's done much worse since that video came out.
I initially wrote "how is it newsworthy anymore" but really as long as that's how twitter communicates with news orgs, that's twitter's official statement about anything they're asked
Their app WAS more user friendly. This whole thing is them buying Alien Blue, deciding it wasn't monetized enough, and ruining it
Why are you shifting this argument so far? I never claimed the guy had tourette's, and I never said this guy shouldn't be insitutionalized. This is a completely irrelevant example.
Completely insane ruling. Wild that Kagan went across the aisle for this.
So I guess it's basically impossible to convict anyone of anything involving speech? If I yell "fire" in a crowded theater, how can you prove I wasn't having a delusion that there was a fire? Maybe there was an explosion in the movie and I was so immersed I thought it was real!
Dude had previous convictions and spent years doing this harassing, it's not like this was an isolated mental break. Truly insane.
