Exactly. It’s been proven time and time again that if you have absolutely zero moderation except for blatantly illegal content, you’ll eventually be running a Nazi bar.

Although in UpScrolled’s case, I’m not sure if they weren’t explicitly out to build a Nazi bar since they do seem to have a huge Nazi and antisemitism problem (well, problem for anyone who’s not a Nazi anyhow) and they’ve apparently mass-banned trans people. So this profusion of Nazis might be a “it’s a feature and not a bug” scenario, even though their TOS seemingly disallows hate speech.

Also, for an “anti-censorship” platform it’s funny that they ban any kind of “adult” content.

It’s not that I disagree with that, but I can guarantee that our government doesn’t think of technofascist dominance as a bad thing. Like @Zaktor@sopuli.xyz said, this is being pushed to make it easier to gather data on us. Age verification does nothing to fix the underlying problem.

This government is explicitly antidemocratic and is eg. working on expanding police and military intelligence’s ability to wiretap and hack people, even if they aren’t suspected of a specific crime. There is exactly zero chance that the data on who logged into what service will not be used against us citizens eventually.

My point exactly.

Knowing our far right government (don’t be fooled by the NCP calling themselves “fiscal conservatives”, they’re no better than the 2 actual far right parties in the government), this is just an excuse to increase control and surveillance of citizens

Yeah, I’ll believe it when I see it. I’d love for Putin to get the Mussolini treatment but people have been prophesying his end for years now.

Also, he didn’t even stop his war crimes for a week like he promised he would. Lesson: don’t trust Russians.

I was like “wtf is that language”.

Took me way too long

Building a Nazi bar to make sure pro-Palestinian voices are heard seems like a suboptimal solution, though

Gee whiz, imagine my surprise

Edit: they’re ostensibly banning trans people (“ostensibly” because it’s not like I can verify the claims, not that I don’t believe them), so I guess the “platforms shouldn’t get to decide who exists” platform has no problem deciding trans people “shouldn’t exist”?

It’s so common for “anti-censorship” to be code for “Nazi-friendly” that I’m immediately suspicious of any platform that uses that as a selling point.

Well, plus the fact that it’s a closed source nonfederated system, so it’s just a case of “from the frying pan into another, slightly cooler frying pan”

All so I can parallel park a bit easier? Parallel parking is easy, just takes a bit of practice.

Yes, the only difference between old cars and new ones is parallel parking automation. Literally the only reason anyone would want one.

Not sure this metaphor can be stretched enough to shoehorn wine into it.

Wine is just an application and it’ll work in any desktop environment (KDE, Gnome, etc), and it allows you to run Windows applications. Think of it as an application that lets your system pretend it’s actually Windows

(and for the pedantic neckbeards: yes I know this sounds like I’m calling wine an emulator, which it isn’t)

Edit: Not a movie about Linux though lol

Hey it’s never specified what caused the civil war; maybe it was over which Linux distro is the best?

… or maybe the emacs vs vi war went kinetic?
