Erm actually that's antisemitism πŸ€“

[–] wheezy@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 day ago

You're right. I didn't hear them condom hummus once! Not once!

[–] andrewrgross@slrpnk.net 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This got a legit chuckle out of me.

[–] thorhop@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 day ago

That is also antisemitism. A goon squad has been dispatched to your location for a motivational beating.

Ugh, the intolerant left strikes again! I'm gonna make the most scathing facebook reel about this!

"Asking for representation is a purity test and you should feel bad for thinking of it. Your vote is simultaneously not worth consideration but also if you (the person entirely unrepresented by the electoral system) dont vote for people who don't represent you at all, worse people will be elected and its entirely 100% your fault! No we will not change the voting system to allow more then two parties to exist without a spoiler effect. Yes we will howl every election about the spoiler effect we refuse to fix, even in deep blue states. Fuck you. Fuck you forever. I hate you and i hope you and your people die. Now vote for who I want and smile really big and pretend this is a democracy!"

Did I miss any talking points blue conservatives? See yall during the midterms should they happen.

My favorite kind of meme is the kind that could conceivably be making any point imaginable.

Their passive aggression… it’s over 9000!

Be mindful of your karma score

There is an option in your settings so you don't see upvotes or downvotes.

None of these imaginary points matter.

(Lemmy is rad)

I beg you to please block and downvote me. Please. It is all I want. Even if you agree with me. Pretty please?

The comment is about PieFed, whose developer is the kind of person who posts on thought policing communities like Meanwhile On Grad, globally tracks your score and restricts your account. It also has some features to drop messages that seem like a good idea but will certainly be used by a coordinated liberal order to silence leftists.

This post is about PieFed, which does track up and down votes.

'An open mind is like a fortress with its gate unbarred and unguarded.'

Marxism is scientific truth and fears no criticism. If it did, and if it could be overthrown by criticism, it would be worthless. In fact, aren’t the idealists criticizing Marxism every day and in every way? And those who harbour bourgeois and petty-bourgeois ideas and do not wish to change β€” aren’t they also criticizing Marxism in every way? Marxists should not be afraid of criticism from any quarter. Quite the contrary, they need to temper and develop themselves and win new positions in the teeth of criticism and in the storm and stress of struggle. Fighting against wrong ideas is like being vaccinated β€” a man develops greater immunity from disease as a result of vaccination. βˆ’ Mao

To this end, many dissidents have been and continue to be persecuted and imprisoned, even in socialist states.

The whole issue is not black and white.

Burgerland financed dissidents get paid per murder btw

Is this referencing something that happened recently? What's the logo on the face? I don't know it.

The piefed frontend implemented a social credit score

@RedWizard@hexbear.net reviewed the code base here: https://lemmy.ml/post/42415919/23662293

Imo it's very rich because their community is crying about the nonexistent social score in china and then they do this lol

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 21 hours ago

What's even better is there isn't a way to turn if off, only hide it with css

You're right it's not just the frontend!

[–] andrewrgross@slrpnk.net -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Thanks for clarifying.

At a glance, I don't see a problem. Isn't social media already a system for rating social credit?

I think the problem with social credit scores is when they're mandatory and can limit things like housing access. Filtering posts on opt-in social networks just sounds like a reasonable tool for moderating decentralized platforms.

Yes and no. There's a difference between having a centralized/agglomerated/global score (e.g. karma on Reddit) and having individual posts/comments ranked. The consequences of said centralized ranking being decided in an opaque manner by a reactionary dev.

Yes I agree FICO score is fucked up

Filtering posts on opt-in social networks just sounds like a reasonable tool for moderating decentralized platforms.

So is having a community driven mod team, which is having that power not centralized by a (group) of devs across multiple decentralized instances.

To quote @RiverRock@lemmy.ml:

I mean most cults have voluntary membership too, it doesn’t make the techniques of social control they employ any less harmful
