Ah. Just wanted to make sure you hadn’t missed it.

If you asked the men in the audience a question about a personal, not social, issue, and a woman host tried to answer, you’d be entirely right in telling her to hold her damn horses, you weren’t asking her.

Okay so you admit there are sites on the block list

Bruh, you were the only one denying that.

and the mods are violating their own rule

Would you like to quote where ‘their own rule’ says that only sites on the blocklist will ever be removed?

Oh look, here’s the actual rule:

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.

Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

The most I’m getting out of that is that they say the blocklist is actively updated, when it’s not been touched in a year.

Manufactured by Satan

My best friend once described my style as ‘techno-hobo’, so I like to think I’m cyberpunk adjacent.

Maybe I should just commit to the aesthetic. Be the cool in the dystopia I want to see.

You become so anal about taking everything literally.

I’m sorry for seeing a difference between “What’s the point of a blocklist that has no sites” and “What’s the point of a blocklist that has a few sites”. A normal person might look at those two arguments and come to two entirely different conclusions regarding the implications of each one; the former implying that a blocklist is literally serving no purpose (but is contradicted by the evidence in this particular case), and the latter decrying a blocklist simply for not being as exhaustive as you’d like it to be (which is a much less compelling argument than the former implication of literal uselessness).

You gonna clarify how Fox News being non-preferred relates to your argument, or nah? My guess is nah.

It contains four websites

You may note that “four websites” =/= “no websites”. Advanced math, I know. Also, it’s five websites, even if we exclude the link-shortener bitly.

and allows Fox News.

How is that relevant to your argument?

What is the point of the blocklist if it contain no websites

It literally contains several websites, as noted by your own screenshot in the OP.

and the moderators decide on the fly what they want to block?

A blocklist is not an exhaustive resource of unreliable sources that will not be accepted, it just hits the most common unreliable sources.

If the mods decide a source unreliable they should add it to their blocklist.

How long are you expecting the blocklist to be, then?

YDI. A blocklist is not an exhaustive resource of unreliable sources that will not be accepted, it just hits the most common unreliable sources.

wololo

Generally, classically I’ve understood Socialism to still involve central planning of industry/production.

Socialism is worker control of the means of production, which can take many forms. What it is, most distinctively, is incompatible with capitalism, which is investor control of the means of production.

Whereas most modern socialist democracies tend to heavily regulate industry and enact social welfare programs to minimize the effects of different classes etc.

The most successful socialist parties in the West take the view that the harm of capitalism should be reduced while it still exists; they still believe in the eventual abolition of capitalism.

I always thought they were more traditional socialist democracy?

… what do you think socialism is, exactly?

Like, Germany’s Left parties mostly don’t want to dismantle capitalism but I wouldn’t dismiss all conversation about them and putting people on that Left Right spectrum to be unserious.

Even the SDP is pro-forma still for the abolition of capitalism.

I just got yelled at because I can’t be Left wing unless I want to destroy capitalism? Which feels weird.

That’s a terminology issue that you’re going to run into in any sufficiently political community. ‘Left-wing’ in casual use in the US refers to “everyone except the Republicans and some moderates”, but “left-wing” in any serious political talk refers to anti-capitalism.

Overheating after an alpha strike?

YDI, try not denying genocide

I would unironically be thrilled
