The transphobe Chloe Cole won't be able to use it.

If bathroom laws pass, she will never be able to use a public bathroom.

Edit: It felt too much like I was saying for poor people to just deal with it so I might rephrase it.

If they push hard enough eventually there will be a replacement.

Federation could solve this. All you need is one flagship instance that doesn't allow uploads, but it allows users to create accounts and playlists to act as "the" site for the federated network and then content creators can start their own instances.

I was wondering about this. If they didn't keep track of who is voting, manipulation would be easier then it already is. The problem is that rogue instance admins could make votes public.

That's one of the problems with archiving everything. I lean in favor of the IA, but there are still issues.

Can you elaborate on the last part?

TBH I can understand that it's a problem for people who aren't expecting it. If they disregard instructions not to index things then that's also a problem. The only real way to prevent scrapers from replicating content is to place it behind a registration wall.

Reddit also has vote fuzzing where you can get the number of votes, but it's always manipulated for some reason.

I don't understand the point, and tbh it's a serious case of social media mind fuckery. It's a real problem for anyone who creates an incredibly specific subreddit for use by a group and then everyone is left wondering who keeps downvoting them. That can have real life consequences for anyone who doesn't understand what is happening.

On an individual level, having a massive archive of everything you've ever posted isn't always a good thing, especially when mentally ill people will quote mine a single post and then try to misuse it.

It is God who ridicules them, and leaves them bewildered in their transgression.

I agree, but the real problem with ebikes over light motorcycles is the range. Trying to get an ebike with decent speed and range costs a fortune and the range and speed is still incredibly limited for long trips.

You also can't ride them on the road where I live, a point that I've been trying to get through to one of my roommates.
