Hard to imagine losing a professional license for someone who dropped you like a sack of potatoes after throwing caution and profession to the wind to go to bat for them.

This, folks, is the result of actual Trump Derangement Syndrome. 🤷🏽‍♂️

I mean, hell, we can forget the “c-word” and we still have this huge issue with foreign (and even domestic!) bad actors stirring shit up with disinformation campaigns in our society. When will our government acknowledge it and actually fucking DO something??

Is there an equivalent Magazine for r/NotADragQueen on kbin?

I like to think of it this way; I believe in universal suffrage, but I sure wish some wouldn’t exercise it (at least, not the way they do…).

There’s a particular satisfaction I feel knowing these engagement chasers are wasting their time. 😌

Couldn’t help but notice this issue (or something similar?) happening on Reddit before I left. Pretty sure something funky is going on on imgur’s end.

Exactly. It’s making an a actual legal decision based on the equivalent of an argument someone had with themselves in the shower.

It’d be laughable if it wasn’t actually serious and legally binding.

You can craft features which promote a behavior or inhibit it.

To add to your point, let’s not forget that a certain social media site used their algorithm to boost content that angers people because it also boosts engagement. It shouldn’t be controversial to want a social media that, like, doesn’t exploit negative behaviors to generate more dollars, and I think your working towards something that specifically doesn’t do that is admirable.

This argument that a social media platform not doing evil things also exclusively means it cannot attract an audience in some other way is a false dichotomy.
