  • There’s no easy fix for this

    You can start by being honest and transparent.

    This is only a misinformation problem because there is a trust problem.

    There is only a trust problem because of a long history of repeatedly breaking that trust.

    The absolutely last thing you want is for regulation to limit speech of the influencers. You want to give them no reason to think there is foul play. You have to fight it with the truth.

    Remove corporations’ and political parties’ right to privacy. Privacy is for humans. Everything else goes on a public ledger.

    Make all scientific publications public and free forever. Science should not be paywalled.

    Always mark (not remove) misinformation and enforce a notification system on all platforms to users who saw content that later turned out to be misinformation. Always provide evidence for why it was misinformation. Make reading the misinformation notifications mandatory to keep your social media account.


  • This. Why would anyone want their private conversations, out there? Don’t put your password in you will. Put a dead man switch on your PC.

    If it is to close down a social media account they can contact the company directly.

    If it is to take out money, they can contact the bank directly.

    If it is to inform contacts, they can live without knowing.

    If it is to cancel subscriptions, you’re going to have to send letters, wait in a phone call for hours, and cancel the credit card either way because of scummy cancellation practices.











  • Count the number of tiles in front of you, solve some math problems in your head, think about what to do next saturda- shit, some guy just moved next to me. Is he looking? Maybe I should pull out my phone and check lemmy. …but then people will think I’m recording them piss, and the fact that I’m still not pissing will further justify their suspicions. Maybe I should just pretend to have a small coughing fit and that’s why I can’t pee. But then people will start looking, and maybe even worry I’ll spray them accidentally. Oh the guy finished peeing. I’ll just wait until he leaves the room then. Oh another guy just entered. Well, he doesn’t know anything so I’ll just pretend I finished peeing and hold it in for the rest of the day.

    What criticism? Your post literally is “haha, look at sad white people after they get what’s coming to them”

    And your entire joke only works if “all of white people” was one single entity, but they’re not. A white person is not responsible for other white people.

    And why should that one white person just shut up and take the punches for something they’re not responsible for?

    But I will read CRT and get back to you one day. If it is based on science as you say, it should offer an explanation to why hate only is acceptable when it is directed at someone with a system advantage they didn’t ask for.

    My definition is the number 1 definition on the dictionary you linked.

    And here’s how definitions work:

    If you fall under only a single of the definitions, you are as defined. I.e. maybe you don’t have a systemic advantage over me, (neither do I over you, because I don’t live in the US and am a racial minority in the country I live in), you are still racist under the other just as valid definitions. They’re not outdated definitions, they’re official and still very much valid definitions that apply to you, a racist.

    I am not helping the right one bit, you are radicalizing the right by spreading hate against people who had nothing to do with building the system, or had anything to do with slavery. Why would anyone listen to a raging lunatic calling them all sorts of slurs? They’ll think “the fuck is wrong this person?”

    You are so blinded by hate, and so motivated to “get back at the oppressors” you would attack an entire race over it. Go outside.

    You are so cherrypicking definitions, you think you’re cute.

    a belief that race is a fundamental determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race also : behavior or attitudes that reflect and foster this belief : racial discrimination or prejudice

    Hey, that sounds just like you.

    Nice racism, bro. The literal dictionary definition of racism includes against white people. Whether the target is a marginalized group is not relevant whatsoever.

    You just wants to be racist but also think you are morally right to be so, and posts like yours only serve the right-wing. Kindly remove your bigot self from Lemmy.
