A tactic used by Microsoft and Google in the past:

Basically they embrace an open standard , extend with proprietary nonsense and then extinguish it with sheer incompetency or greed.

Did you just censor the word douche?

Let's flip the argument around. Lets say i wrote:

'if people started flying rainbow flags on their cars in my country , I'll keep a baseball bat in my car'

Do you think i deserve to be perma banned for 'advocating violence'?

It seems that they're only using a.i to separate vocals from an existing demo track that already has Lennon's vocals.

'Easy! Just use AI or something. You nerds figure it out!'

For what it's worth, i agree with you.

It seems we are a minority though, everyone is talking about safe spaces.

I suspect what they really want is a leftist echo chamber.

Fuck u/gallowboob

Jesus Christ, I'm not a tankie 😄

I'm a 'reddit is too ban friendly' guy.

I also mentioned in another comment that the false equivalency example might not have been too great. Hope you see where I'm coming from.

Oh you're certainly right, i was just thinking about windows in the 2 examples above!

Totally agreed. They've been too ban friendly lately, I'm sure it's only gonna be worse.

I also agree it's a false equivalency, just a not so good example of how arbitrary mods can be.

Thanks for the explanation!

Haha, the feelings mutual. I lurked on Reddit , having imaginary arguments with strangers and never quite commenting.

If you see one of the comments on this thread , both of what we said as examples could be misconstrued for violence. Certainly didn't think before i wrote it.

We're both learning , friend 👍

Can you elaborate on the 'politics'?

I sense something weird , especially with the hardcoded 'hate speech' filter, which seems to run contrary to federation.

Anything else I should know about ?

Oh man , that is disappointing.

I'm certainly not a 'right-winger' , but i hate the idea of arbitrary, centralized control of what 'hate speech' means .

That doesn't sound 'federated' to me!

Ah yes, the other side of the same 'censorship' coin 😉
