You banned the account I replied to right? I was pointing out the conspiracy post...

EDIT - because of rate limiting:

I've posted in both technical articles and political articles.

There have been a lot of political articles recently with the tech bans. I cannot help that.

Most of my comments are about freedom of speech, not really a political ideology.

I did not create an account to feed hellfire, I created an account to voice my opinion and debate from the other side because I see such one-sided arguments.

This is why you have an echo-chamber.

We do not agree. There was nothing credibly threatening in his tweets.

This whole mess happened because of the instigating of the media and the riots all year.

This event did not appear out of nowhere, there was major tension building and there still is.

Also, AVIF has support for live photos and animations.

WebP afaik has a more limited feature set.

Well there were pretty heavy gun regulations that were enacted under Obama.

I guess Obama did allow cartels to have guns by continuing Fast & Furious so you're half right.

My point was credible threatening speech is already illegal in America.

Another point would be who decides what is or isn't a joke or hateful?

Do you want the companies to decide what the correct speech is, would you like a government panel to police speech?

Currently, I like illegal speech being the only rule because it gets murky otherwise.

Which recent unrest? The riots last summer are still pretty recent. I doubt most of the businesses have even recovered from it yet.

edit: I don't see why I'm being downvoted, the article seems to be written when the BLM riots were relevant.

From my side, you are wrong. The stances you think I have are probably inaccurate too. Your side seems to always lock us into a prison of two ideas without letting us speak for ourselves.

The extreme assumptions and generalizations don't help. There are many of us that don't agree with you but don't exactly line up with Republicans or even Trump supporters at times.

Many Trump supporters are Libertarians that do not agree full with Republican ideals completely, but it's the closest home.

I'd say it was mostly peaceful, especially compared to the riots.

Certainly didn't last as long, it cost less in property damage, less people died, and less neighborhoods burnt down.

Maybe we can ban both sides from social media and have no Twitter.

Welcome to politics, DT's words are constantly taken out of context and used to enflame the masses.

That's why this censorship ordeal is scary. Both sides deserve to be heard so people can listen, hear both sides, sift through the bullshit and decide for themselves.

Yeah you can think in the corner and noone will hear you like you don't exist.

It's about having a voice. It's about the main argument being "it's a private company" then going and banning the alternatives.

Yes people cannot think for themselves, we need to make sure they cannot speak or be near us.

If they make their own platform like we tell them to, we'll just ban that too, haha.

"Bob should die" should be allowed to exist and is. It can be said jokingly, yes it's bad taste but not credible.

"Bob, I am coming to kill you" or "Bob I'll kill you if you don't do X for me" a court would say is probably a credible threat, which is already illegal.

Why do we want to shift the responsibility of deciding how to police speech to private companies?

Sticks & stones.

Calling people Nazi's is a great way to dehumanize someone, but not really a great way to win anyone over because it's not an argument.

The only fascism I see is the censorship going around.

How are they Nazis or fascists? Most want limited government, and no censorship. Trump supporters don't own the media and aren't silencing people.

I don't see why you have to attack me or my account. You're the one calling people fascists and getting flagged. I just wanted to point out that name calling gets you nowhere.

You'd be surprised that Trump supporters are outside the Republican realm. If you spent 5 minutes on TDW you'd see they hate most establishment Republicans. This isn't new either, it started with Ron Paul and then the Tea Party movement.

I'd say overall the majority on TDW are leaning more towards libertarian than conservative. Certain things like freedom of speech, 2nd amendment rights, limited government and spending are shared ideals. Other things like pro-marijuana, pro-life, Christianity are depicted and respected but differ between supporters and less popular then the ideals everyone agrees on.

Political pressure is a thing. Just because you can't have a direct effect individually doesn't mean you can't talk about it.

We still talk and try to address climate change even though we can't do much to force China to change.

Also, the facts matter. If they did accidentally release it it they at least should be reprimanded by the world for it.

Movies should be written about it, don't let them forget.

Btw seen Chernobyl on Netflix? It's good.

It's juicy. Some people's preference of "dry" varies.

Some people can't fathom others liking well done, some can't fathom rare. Pink in the middle is preferred but at red it's too watery for me, to each their own.

alpine syntax looks very different from a quick glance at the readme.

very angular-ish, template heavy with it's own syntax.

> But there's also no reason to care if they did or not.

I would liken it to Chernobyl if they did accidentally release it. If it wasn't natural then it could have been prevented, including the 2 million dead.
