You can also use this random gibberish generator.

I for one believe that scorched earth is the best approach. Your content is yours, you have moral and legal ownership over it; if you want to replace it in that site with gibberish, it's your right and choice.

I get why you're posting this comic and I contextually agree with you. However, the comic itself is bad, and it distorts quite a bit what Popper said.

The quote in the Wikipedia link that you've shared is considerably better:

Less well known [than other paradoxes] is the paradox of tolerance: Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.—In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be most unwise. But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols. We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant. We should claim that any movement preaching intolerance places itself outside the law and we should consider incitement to intolerance and persecution as criminal, in the same way as we should consider incitement to murder, or to kidnapping, or to the revival of the slave trade, as criminal.

The demographics being pissed are different.

When Voat, and then Ruqqus, were formed, people leaving Reddit were

• a minority of informed people, smelling the bullshit from a distance, and genuinely concerned about freedom of speech; and
• a majority of clowns, who don't really give a damn about free speech - they were pissed that their specific discourse was being banned.

That is not what is happening now. The ones leaving are not doing so due to "I can't say slurs any more! ;_;" like that majority, or "I'm concerned about deeply abstract matters" like the minority. The ones leaving are the most contributive people, who know that the boat is sinking, are seeing it sinking, and want to get away ASAP.

I'm not a big fan of fishing mechanics, they're usually shallow "press button at random signal, get a random prize" mechanics.

Also escort missions where the NPC being escorted does not understand that it should protect its own life. I don't mind repeating a mission due to my own mistakes, but I don't want to do it because some AI went potato.

For dupe (duplicant) skill trees, Francis John has a great tutorial, but as a general guide:

• You'll want to specialise your dupes but not too much. It's fine to mix skills a bit.
• It's better to mix activities if they're all performed outdoors (building, digging) or all indoors (cooking, farming).
• Worst hypothesis, use the skill scrubber, so don't feel afraid to experiment.
• Don't assign skill points just because they're available. Consider morale.
• Doctoring is usually not useful. I simply pretend that it doesn't exist.
• Decorating and cooking are useful, but one dupe with each task is enough. (Or one with both - decorating isn't too frequent.)
• Almost everyone benefits from Improved Carrying I and II. Late game you'll probably want to assign them Exosuit Training.
• Francis John's video is old and the skill tree changed in the meantime, so take that into account.

If you meant instead the tech tree, a few tricks:

• The top is usually more important than the bottom. For example if unsure about researching food or decor, go with food, as it's way up.
• Things requiring only basic research (blue) and advanced research (purple) are specially critical, but your dupes can survive quite a while without materials research (yellow) or interstellar research (orange).

All those colour-washings annoy me. It's basically a way to transform social activists - no matter cause - into unwitting advertisers for their brand.

@Knusper And, more than that: it shows the typical modus operandi of the Shitty and Pissy Evil Zombie. When people don't fall for his bullshit, he tries to divert attention into something else, an intrinsically disingenuous tactic. All of that with the implicit consent of the company as a whole.

And as a self-fulfilling prophecy this justifies the recording. If you're going to deal with a company that should not be trusted, you need to protect yourself, and that is what Selig did.

Oxygen Not Included.

What can I say? I'm a sucker for colony / simulation / management games. It has cute graphics, and it's still getting updates. And it works on Linux!

My idea is partially inspired on the Slashdot system, but I suggest doing it for downvotes instead of upvotes for two reasons:

1. Bad content usually has a single blatant flaw, but good content often has multiple qualities.
2. People take negative feedback more seriously than positive feedback.

As consequences for both things:

• It's easier for the user to choose the type of downvote than the type of upvote.
• If you're including multiple categories of an action, you'll likely do it through multiple clicks. If downvotes require two clicks while upvotes require only one, you're mildly encouraging upvote often, and downvote less often (as it takes more effort).
• Negative feedback needs to be a bit more informative.

I feel like the downvote button in special should / could be multidimensional. People downvote content out of multiple reasons: "this is incorrect", "this is really dumb", "this is off-topic", "the poster is a jerk", so goes on.

IMO this would combo really well with the experimental study in the OP.

They saw Lemmy becoming successful, corporate mistook Lemmy with Lemmings, and decided to go out Lemmings style.

...jokes aside, Cory Doctorow has a great text about that, called "Tiktok's enshittification". It's a four-steps process:

1. The platform is good for its users.
2. The platform abuses the users, to be good for its business customers.
3. The platform abuses the business customers, to claw back all value for itself.
4. The platform dies.

In my opinion it's also the result of management being disconnected from the platform that it manages, and not knowing fully the implications of their own decisions.

I want a good community. And by "good" I mean smart, insightful; full of people who make me stop and say "holy fuck, this is brilliant". I don't mind if it's slightly rough or slightly unwelcoming, as long as users are rational enough.

I also want a diversified amount of topics to talk about. Cooking, gardening, games, anime/manga, so goes on. Once in a blue moon I do talk about politics and society, but I'd rather talk about something else, you know?
