I don’t think your distinction between moderation and filters is correct.

I would say it’s closer to filters are something to curate what you see, and moderation is to curate the community.

Trust based systems are absolutely an amazing idea, but it is a very good idea to make it so once you have a level of ‘trust’ you don’t just apply filters, but actual moderation instead. Having a hybrid system, where you can apply filters from a certain set of users, but also allow purely trolling or immoral(ie cp and gore) to be fully removed so that new users or visitors to the community do not have issues.

It also serves as a stronger prevention measure against racists and nazis.

It also serves to preserve the correction function of communities, without allowing popular will to reject reasonable expectations just because they dislike them. That has happened a lot in redditor communities.

I strongly agree that purely centralized moderation is bad, but some level of centralization of moderation is beneficial.

You could also have trust go by community rather than platform based to prevent exploitation

Sounds like you’re mistaking filters for moderation.

Yup. There should be high enough tariffs that it discourages shitty trinket buying… But focused on the crap, not just a blanket

Not in texas!

there but those who use “literally” as every second word in their sentences awaken a primal rage inside of me that is yearning for rock to split skull.

I hard agree. Misuse of literal is a problem many decades old and it hurts still

So imagine you’re a mod. And someone posted a meme to your subreddit. So you delete it, and then post it yourself at an optimal time farming 10s of thousands of upvotes. That’s meme theft.

This isn’t. Lol

China’s desire for unification is not directly a threat.

With important manufacturing that would inevitably get destroyed in a war, it’s a direct threat.

These are 20 year old accusations. China today is innovating on its own.

They’re a whole hell of a lot younger than 20 years old. It’s recent issue.

having a willingness to notice if the problem behaviour has ceased.

Also this, you think it’s just fine to not pay restitution? It’s also not ceased. Same thing, steal the design produce it cheaper with slave labor or borderline slave labor is ongoing.

You’re suggesting that innocent vs guilty of your accusations deserves an enemy status.

It’s enough to establish china has a hostile foreign state, yes.

Is US guilty of worse?

Irrelevant. This is about if they did things to establish themselves as a hostile foreign power. You’re pretending they did no aggression, that’s what I’m referring to.

It’s an actively hostile act, regardless of what your beliefs are on the copyright system.

Enemy is entirely US’s choice

China threatening taiwan is not the usa’s choice.

China’s consistent copyright theft is not the USA’s choice.

There’s plenty to say on both sides of why they’re enemies. Do not spout lies that portray china as innocent please.

…no, I’m not. They’re very serious, and should be taken as such. But that doesn’t make them an accurate risk assessment in it of an individual incident, you need to look at numbers, for a real risk assessment

Allowing an enemy to produce critical parts was also a non-starter for the usa though

Not notifications, but I have to leave my volume on in case there’s an emergency call from work or a friend

Yup yup. I hate parking lots with a passion

Lawns. One of the most wasteful things in modern society.

An actual risk assessment would look at % not single incidents

The intersection of people who become fascist and people who don’t want to declare war is small

Working class does not mean poor. It means people who work for their living. You have frontline manual labor workers who make over 100k and you dare suggest that just because they put in the work to unionize, that they aren’t working class?

A tesla is well within the range of affordable for a working class person. Someone with a decent job will be making 100k, and it’s not hard to get a Tesla on that budget.
