Surely it would be too bothersome to search for and verify these occurrences yourself. Ignorance is bliss.
Yes and I trust in your ability to use online search engines too instead of ignoring what has been brought to your attention. If you refuse to see what is obvious to others, it does not make it untrue.
I hope God has blessed you in some other important way. Best wishes.
Sorry. This is the world we live in. I too would like to know the way back to a place where people can easily define the differences between a man and a woman.
affirmative action is "reverse racism"
I think we found the student who is "dumb as cardboard"
It's not "reverse racism", discrimination based on race is just "racism".
I love how everybody throws around comparisons to fascism and Nazis these days. We could focus on the left or the right and easily create a list of all the things we've done that was similar to things Nazis did. It really isn't hard to do...
During World War II, Democratic President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, which led to the forced relocation and internment of around 120,000 Japanese Americans.
Under the Democratic administrations of Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson, the FBI's Counterintelligence Program (COINTELPRO) targeted various political groups, including civil rights activists, anti-war organizations, and socialist and communist groups.
The Democratic administration of President Woodrow Wilson used the Espionage Act of 1917 to suppress dissent during World War I. The act was employed to prosecute individuals who criticized the war effort, including socialists, pacifists, and anarchists.
Democrat Bill Clinton invoked executive privilege to withhold information in various investigations, including the Whitewater controversy and the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
Democratic President Barack Obama faced criticism for the use of drone strikes and the extensive use of executive orders.
The Democratic administration of President Barack Obama faced criticism for its continuation and expansion of surveillance programs, such as the National Security Agency's mass surveillance programs revealed by whistleblower Edward Snowden.
We could talk about how Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, continued and expanded the "War on Drugs" policies. Which disproportionately affected minority communities and led to mass incarceration, raising concerns about civil liberties and racial inequality...
Good old "Drug War Joe".
We could discuss how countless groups of college libs attack people who they aren't intelligent enough to have a conversation with. Or how the libs are trying to coerce speech through legislation with their fantasies concerning deadnaming and misgendering.
Or you know, we could accept the facts that both sides are similarly as evil as the other. Instead of just pointing fingers and acting like children.
Not saying it's fine, just that stupid questions deserve stupid answers.
Many countries have private prisons.
I deleted 9 years worth of user content, across 5 different reddit accounts. Followed by CCPA "Delete My Data" demands, on each account.
It's almost as if, a large majority of reddit users are spineless, or consider their useless internet clout points more valuable than a small sense of morality...
A temporary blackout is not a protest compared to this method.
For those wondering... TamperMonkey browser add-on with RedditHistorySanitizer userscript (https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/23605-reddit-history-sanitizer/code). It's kinda slow, but much faster than doing it manually!
what buttons does the user see?
Voting options could still exist, the point is that the metrics are hidden (when it's something as simple as Up or Down). You wouldn't see how many people agree or disagree with a post or the content the've decided to post. Discouraging the countless accounts who repost the same memes to the same communities multiples times per week.
I'm mostly going to just hit any or all of them when I like the content. And I'll click none of them when I dislike content
Ideally, there would be multiple options (engaging, comprehensive, shitpost, etc) but a user would only be allowed to select one, and wouldn't be able to submit it without reaching a specific character limit explaining their position. Albeit, some would just fill the character limit with emojis, no doubt. In turn, the hope is that the community would call out such behaviors because, admittedly...
I don't think the internet can be objective enough to make these reliably more useful than an upvote
...I might be naive and have more faith in people...
Should this thread's quality be treated differently based on my format?
The simplest answer is that it would be unlikely that a single user would be able to heavily influence that metric. More heavily weighing the amount of the engaged users.
but I don't think we should aspire to black box algorithms
I most assuredly agree. "Security through obscurity" has never been the correct answer. That's why we have open discussions, so more than just a few people can find the vulnerabilities. ;)
I'm trusting based on your writing that you're open to collective constructive criticism.
That's exactly why I'm here. I've never enjoyed most social media platforms, so when I heard people were migrating, I had to check it out. Come to find out, all these alternate, open platforms are just recreating the same disaster. Taking the, in my opinion, worst aspects of social platforms and trying to justify their continued usage...
Humans have spent a heck of a lot of time, money and effort trying to figure about it, and we still seem to get it wrong a lot haha.
Name one time when money has created something better than that which was created by a heartfelt, open source, community (don't actually LOL).
Again, I appreciate your input. It's why I'm here, to talk to people who actually care and want something better. How can we say we're moving forward and progressing when we're actually just revolving?
This is another great feature that I will add to my list of suggestions. Thank you. You are absolutely right in that "Post Has Been Answered" feature is absolutely necessary for these types of platforms. Ironically enough, your comment has the most downvotes while being the correct answer to the problem.
You've pooped 3x today? No, you've been backed up for 3 days? No... Maybe, you just wanted to help prove my point... Either way, thank you for the interaction.

Best of luck to you in your endeavors. I love high contrast visual themes and the "Read Aloud" text to speech add-on, helps me a heap!
