The reason is simple. Misinformation sticks with conservatives more than liberals. With liberals, someone posts evidence that the story isn’t true and the whole thing fizzles out. If someone tries posting counter evidence in a conservative forum, they get banned.

There’s no money in trying to push misinformation to liberals.

Good people do to too. Ruth Bader Ginsberg clung to office and died two months too early.

There’s a little known Aesop Fable called “The Clown and the Countryman” that illustrates something close to this

I highly recommend watching his debates with Sam Harris

It really shines a light on what a fake sophist charlatan Peterson is. Harris is so clear and plainspoken in comparison. His ideas are sophisticated, but explained simply.

He’s not saying “I want more gridlock”, he’s saying “I want more of whatever personally benefits me, and I have to cause gridlock to get it, that’s just fine”.

I don’t know. The users are way smarter than the admins. I’m sure people can think of a way to do it that the mods won’t notice until it’s too late.

Deliberate sabotage of the education system by the Republicans.

Deficits only don’t matter when Republicans are in the White House.

There is a way to get genuine help from a Linux forum.

Not only are conservatives to blame for the unforgiven student debt, they’re to blame for the cost being so high in the first place.

I’ve been using Firefox for years.

But you interact with other people pretty much the same way? Text/voice/video chat?

What are the differences between Matrix and Discord?

One would see it as a wall, one would see it as a tree trunk, one would see it as a snake, one would see it as a rope, one would see it as a spear.

What if an instance were able to block specific communities on other instances without defederating?

First level support staff generally aren’t allowed to have creativity. They just follow the script and then pass the problem up when it’s something they can’t handle.

Google releases plenty of projects. It just cancels them after a couple years.

Also, it’s very easy for someone to replicate the biometric features that the reader would use in something they could wear.

49 year old here. I still own a 3D tv, but I’ve never actually used the 3D feature. I didn’t even buy the TV. My dad gave my his old one when he upgraded.

I bought a Raspberry PI but never really did much with it.

I’ve never owned any of the others.
