I’m with you in spirit if not numbers. My experience with hexbear users led me to blocking the whole instance, and I regularly block people I don’t even converse with based on how they treat other users or other topics. If someone has such a bad take on topic A, I don’t care about their possible opinions on topic B and C in the future.

I get the argument of echo chamber isolation, but most of the things I’m willing to block people over are also things that I won’t be changing my mind about because of a forum post.

Damn, I really wanna try this now. Halo 1 pvp on a flight with anyone who I can give a USB stick? Would take me back to high school

I remember getting almost all of Fairy Tail from a friend, and the last two seasons only had subtitles in Portuguese instead of English. He didn’t know because he hadn’t made it far enough yet lol.

A self-driving vehicle is not exclusive to Elon.

I prefer electric cars over gas ones, and think that at some point computer controlled transportation will be more reliable than the average human driver. These aren’t endorsements of any person or company.

Why are you wrapping this up so much with the one dude?

Its like saying that you can’t endorse online shopping unless you also like Bezos.

I’m also in the second camp. Plus, censoring the bad words on specific users is a few too many steps closer to don’t say gay on the internet. Is ass ok but not fuck? Is sex talk forbidden? All mention of anatomy, including general questions about health? How about they ban anti-capitalist language too? The tiktok language phenomenon shows that users will absolutely just make do getting around communication bans, “unalive” and “le$beans” being the most popular. This type of censorship has already happened on other platforms, and it’s all bullshit and useless.

It’s just a tips and how-to on how to make your dishwasher work best. Run the sink tap until hot before you start, use cheap powder or gel soap, make sure to use the dispenser and use a bit of soap in the prewash cycle. Great channel though, very deep dives into technology, primarily home goods or oddities.
