A tactic used by Microsoft and Google in the past:

Basically they embrace an open standard , extend with proprietary nonsense and then extinguish it with sheer incompetency or greed.

Oh you're certainly right, i was just thinking about windows in the 2 examples above!

Jesus Christ, I'm not a tankie 😄

I'm a 'reddit is too ban friendly' guy.

I also mentioned in another comment that the false equivalency example might not have been too great. Hope you see where I'm coming from.

Let's flip the argument around. Lets say i wrote:

'if people started flying rainbow flags on their cars in my country , I'll keep a baseball bat in my car'

Do you think i deserve to be perma banned for 'advocating violence'?

Did you just censor the word douche?

'Easy! Just use AI or something. You nerds figure it out!'

Oh man , that is disappointing.

I'm certainly not a 'right-winger' , but i hate the idea of arbitrary, centralized control of what 'hate speech' means .

That doesn't sound 'federated' to me!

Thanks for the explanation!

Can you elaborate on the 'politics'?

I sense something weird , especially with the hardcoded 'hate speech' filter, which seems to run contrary to federation.

Anything else I should know about ?
