I’ve never felt guilty for consuming media of people who have done bad things; it’s not that it’s not important to have integrity, I just assume everyone I could consume media from has and does, and the difference is that I’ll either never know, or don’t know yet.

We can’t just throw away historical and culturally significant works because the creator(s) are terrible, in part because broken, complicated, terrible people make these works because that’s where the creative energy is.

And I’ve watched the things you’re talking about be used to propose legislation against free speech, and the path you want to take is more slippery than the slipperiest slope imaginable.

Censorship gains traction under the guise of reasonable sounding proposals and always leads to misuse. I have no doubt you have good intentions at heart, but I super promise other people don’t and they will use any legislation available as a way to curtail dissent, treason, and sedition.

I promise we’re better off with havens for free speech.

You are the only one talking about Nazis and Porn. Your argument reeks of strawman, attacking the concept for something it isn’t even.

You know who it does protect? Minorities, freedom fighters, people trying to get in and out of bad situations with fascist governments and restrictions on what they can say and who they can speak out against.

People like you, you specifically, you are exactly the problem.

Your comment is so mired in ignorance, to think you would oppose free speech over how it would be abused and ignore the net positive is exactly how we’re losing freedoms each and every day.

People like you are ruining the world while telling people you’re fixing it.

Who the fuck said anything about porn of any kind? People always use protecting kids as a way to censor the Internet and it’s almost always in bad faith.

Honestly at this point I want to host a distributed Lemmy instance and completely ignore all country laws in favor of complete and absolute freedom of speech.

It might sound extreme, but pretty sure at this point I’d be willing to die for it given the state of global politics.

Why you would do this?

I did. We were talking about freedom of speech, so opinions and beliefs are about the only things people really disagree about to the point of violence with regards to speech.

Insane take. We don’t have the right to physical violence just for a difference of opinion.

Honestly what I’m saying shouldn’t be a hot take. Freedom of speech has long been a classical liberal position.

Freedom of speech for absolutely everyone, especially people I disagree with and that disagree with me

This has always been the case.

Where we’re going we don’t need facts

I don’t think you understand the joke. Usually people switch to Linux dual booting coming from Windows, I was making the opposite joke - starting from Linux and dual booting into Windows and then switching.

PS. I once set up BURG and quad booted 4 Linux distros, get on my level

That’s how I started using Windows, it’s a slippery slope, didn’t fall for it!

I haven’t blocked a single anything, but I don’t feel like I’ve had a reason to or even run into anything questionable so far.

I don’t understand why it seems so common. Are people having issues on other servers?

Forspoken is low key incredible and like, exactly one sound bite sealed it’s fate, once it became a meme, people already made up their mind about it.

It was one of the best games I played last year and I found the story to be compelling and the gameplay fresh.

I think it’ll be regarded as a hidden gem in the future unironically.

I mean, yes, but there is a finite amount, we just don’t have the ability to accurately gauge how finite. We also created new techniques for extraction and technology changed to enable those new techniques.

The information was good at the time, but it won’t get better at the same rate, we’re closer to the truth now than we were before because of advancement.

Anyway, my point is the new estimate is much closer to true than the one your comparing it to.

It’s the only way to demonstrate the fall, of you did it at scale it would’ve even be noticeable.

It’s no longer true as of about two years ago no, but the measurement was always a bit skewed for Western audiences and glosses over increases in specific types of crimes ( categorically ) such as homicide bombings and domestic terrorism.
