They seem to have forgotten to mention "no moderation" as well Opened it out of curiosity and was immediately greeted by loud, auto playing videos, posts that were nothing but the n word, and anti-trans hate. Don't quite think that's going to take off as a platform unless 4chan gets shut down
Thanks for the warning. It's only a matter of time until someone finds out how to own the website completely.
no thank you
How do you separate the signal from the noise on such a platform?
I'm asking because down voting serves a purpose, namely the ability to indicate to others that the content is outside the norm for whatever reason.
Now I realise that there is nothing wrong with being outside the norm, but how do you indicate that injecting yourself with bleach to clean up COVID is not a treatment plan for anything or anyone?
There is only noise on that particular platform so you stay off it.
Then you go back to reddit or wherever where it's a corporate echo chamber where dissenting opinions are censored instead.
What's the solution?
someone's trying to #BeReal again
It sounds like a wonderful concept which would have been beautiful before The Eternal September, but which will be an absolute disaster in þe modern web.
