Yeah, you really have to follow details of politics to understand what he’s talking about, and not just headlines on Lemmy.

The effect of the DNC rule changes or the effect the head of the DNC head are not things that are covered here.

I wouldn’t count on that. Even if that was the deal, this man never honors his debts.

Nothing about this is as honest and trustworthy as a mobster demanding protection money.

And/or dumb enough to not understand “due process” and therefore not value it. You know, that thing that has been central to our form of government for the last 250 years.

This might not even be from the national guard. It might be directly from ICE posting as NG.

I don’t wanna go to Twitter, ever, if I can help it.

She’s trying to buy her country back with a hunk of metal. It’s understandable.

Well yeah.

We haven’t, really. Our “complete neutrality” is infested with troll farms, where people are employed to make hundreds of accounts to spread propaganda.

I’m thinking the answer is to implement a huge barrier for troll farms, but a small speed bump for real people.

It could be oauth with Steam or your cell provider, where you can make an account if you’ve spent over $250 with them. Actual credit history would work. You can combine these and allow any of them, which might let one person make 3-4 accounts, maybe, but that’s still limited enough to make things difficult for troll farms.

There is an issue where billionaires that want to influence us have absolutely absurd resources, and maybe paying $1000 per account isn’t enough of a barrier for them. But at least it gives us a chance for the bans to stick significantly more than they do now.

That’s actually a great solution. This way I can still verify firsthand what they’ve posted, if and only if I’m actually looking for it.

I think it’s the whole parasocial relationship thing, where you think you’re close friends with someone who doesn’t know your name.

They have a platform. It’s a podium in the white house. It’s having thousands of thugs pillaging, and likely soon raping in your neighborhoods.

Knowing what they say is relevant.

When I’m showing people the kind of shit this administration posts as an argument against them, I want to know it’s real.

And I don’t want to have to be on Nazi Twitter to do that any more than I have to.

There’s more than one opportunity, and the heckling was pretty good.

It’s just a thing that needs repeated basically constantly for all of us.

People were playing text-based multiplayer, effectively mmos with PvP well before Tim-Berners Lee invented the Web Browser.

http://mud.arctic.org/ this one is still around.

But why? You don’t need telnet to transfer text.

She’s giving up a piece of metal in the hopes that it’ll help her country. The country that she’s the rightful president of.

May not be wise, but I appreciate him.

I’ll always be able to play Balatro, Factorio, and he’ll, I’d go to text based MUDs first.
