“two-way street” implies an equal exchange, not just equal opportunity to speak, and only someone who’s never been on the receiving end of one would ever make the mistake of thinking there’s anything equal about it.

in fact, the only ones I’ve ever heard make that argument are bigots themselves, trying to excuse or defend their bigotry while shifting blame to their victims for “not standing up for themselves” or some other victim-blaming bullshit.

DARVO (an acronym for “Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender”) is a reaction that perpetrators of wrongdoing, such as abusers, narcissists, or sexual offenders, may display in response to being held accountable for their behavior.[1] Research indicates that it is a common manipulation strategy of psychological abusers.

DARVO

I’m clearly not the only one here who feels this way, and I’m sure that none of us are surprised that, right from the start, you’re deflecting any responsibility for what you’ve created.

free speech is a two way street

it really isn’t

You can debate your point with out dehumanizing others, when you can’t, you’ve already lost the argument.

No. You can’t. And giving a “open mic“ to the Nick Fuenteses and Stephen Millers, and Charlie Kirks of the world who will put on a suit and a tie and try to “debate” you while dehumanizing others with nice sounding words gives them a platform to spread their hate while framing it as a “civilized debate“ rather than the coded bigotry that it is, while you cast aside any responsibility for letting them do it, tossing your hands up and claiming “free speech”.

It’s plainly and obviously bullshit. It’s like inviting a vampire into the house and then being surprised when everyone turns up dead.

But it doesn’t appear that you’re specifically disallowing it either

You are definitely entitled to feel that way though.

My concern is that this is what you will also say to the bigots when they arrive

When you sit down at a table and nine Nazis sit down at that table with you, there are now 10 Nazis sitting at that table.

It has been my experience that “free speech” (especially online) is code for “bigotry welcome”.

I see nothing in the description here to convince me this will be any different.

Oh, I agree. It really would be nice if ublock origin light was installed by default.

I prefer uBlock Origin Lite on Safari. I switched a while back because adblock wasn’t catching ads in YouTube.

They have pretty good privacy and anti-fingerprinting stuff in Safari, but not ad blocking— although they do have an odd tool for “hiding distracting items“ that can work as an ad hoc ad blocker of sorts. On the other hand, ublock origin light works wonderfully for me. Both on macOS Safari and iOS Safari.

Hard drives

No, but there should be a highly regulated filter system.

It’s always the ones you most suspect

pico!

But nano will do ;)

FYI, on Lemmy, we don’t have “subs”— we have communities or “comms”

Piefed supports tagging as part of the platform. It runs as part of Lemmy, but the instances use a different software like mbin does

Did somebody say… Cyberpunk?

Yeah, well, I will admit that “lesbians mud wrestling“ is a fucking ton of fun to watch

Lollapalooza or not

How is this news? Isn’t this a normal, scheduled event at lollapalooza? I haven’t been in a very long time, but… Isn’t this normal?

Iirc, there’s a whole schedule of mud wrestling events

Ew…
