Putting the actual news aside, I fucking hate how every time I read or hear this guy's name, the first person I think of is Mark Rober.

...does he not realize that homelessness relates to the mental health crisis?

Amazes me that people are stupid enough to think people simply choose to live like this.

"times change"

Bro thinks 2007 was the Johnson administration.

I should probably explore more synthwave. This stuff is pretty dope.

That's honestly so adorable.

I know how dangerous bears can be but it's hard not to look at that photo and not be in awe at how cute they look all hanging out on the tree together. Just hope their presence in the area didn't cause any major safety issues for too long.

Meant to comment on this when I first saw it.

It sucks, but after my Kbin instance was swapping over to Mbin (quick shoutout to tuckerm at supermeter.social, dude's fucking awesome), I decided to give Lotide a shot, and unfortunately, the instance I signed up for didn't seem to federate at all for the communities I subscribed to.

If people want a federated Reddit alternative that isn't Lemmy or Mbin, I'm on PieFed rn and it's honestly been great so far. I like that the source code is on Codeberg, which is what made me swap to Kbin from Lemmy to begin with.

There's also Brutalinks, which has their source code on SourceHut like Lotide does, but I've yet to find a live instance of it: https://git.sr.ht/mariusor/brutalinks

Lol, I formatted the title correctly, but seems character limits differ between instances.

But yes, the full name of the song includes the portion in brackets.

Genre is Hypercore, Year released is 2022

Feel free to disagree, but it's a bit of a moral thing for me as to whether I'd be comfortable utilizing tools developed by a group with issues like this.

As said in another comment, I'm already on a separate server, that being tchncs. I just personally wouldn't like to see my usage of the protocol possibly being seen as me being content or indifferent to these heavy moderation issues in their official rooms.

As the other comment said, it's less used than Matrix, but it's moreso I've heard that XMPP, unlike Matrix, doesn't really have their own official chatrooms directly managed by XMPP Standards Foundation.

Whether that's true or not, I'm not quite sure, I still need to do some exploring with XMPP and see for myself, but that being the case alone would prevent a situation like with Matrix where this kind of content is being posted under their direct supervision.

Again, I'm reiterating just to make sure I'm being clear, but it's not an issue for me if there's going to be CSAM on the protocol or even on an official server for it, but I'd be uncomfortable using a protocol if that kind of content was being posted and not properly dealt with in official chatrooms.

I'm currently on tchncs. As said in my last paragraph, that while I understand this doesn't reflect on all servers, rooms, and spaces, it still makes me wonder if I should be using a protocol where the official space for it ran by the foundation building the protocol has such ineffective moderation to the extent that CSAM can exist in their biggest official room for multiple hours.

To give a comparison, let's take Tor. Tor is used for people to stay anonymous online. Now this of course is a bit of a double-edged sword since on the one hand, you have the intended purpose where people utilize it to circumvent censorship or just as a method to increase their privacy in their daily browsing habits. The other side is people who use it to access and distribute illegal services or content such as buying and selling drugs, or distributing and viewing CSAM.

Now do I feel uncomfortable utilizing Tor because I see them as not doing enough to prevent the bad people from being on their network? Of course not, there's a lot of great people who use the network from hobbyist projects to simply enhancing people's privacy. However, if the Tor project had an onion site directly administered by them that constantly had moderation issues with CSAM or illegal services, then I would be more likely to utilize something like I2P because I wouldn't be comfortable utilizing a service where the developing organization didn't properly moderate that stuff on their own onion site.

That's the case with Matrix. I'm not even quite expecting them to be on top of everything sent to their server immediately, but this was the biggest room in their official space, and it becomes a question of whether I'd be comfortable using a protocol where the foundation behind it's development doesn't take adequate action dealing with CSAM in their own rooms.

Ah, my bad, misunderstood Matrix as being part of the fediverse due to the decentralized nature of it and because I saw a cross-post regarding Matrix made to this community.

I'll delete the post here and keep the original one up.

Look dude, Imma be blunt, but this take has got to be one of the dumbest takes I think I've ever seen regarding politics.

You really think there wouldn't be any consequences at all for just culling 100 million people off the face of the Earth? That's more than every single death in World War II.

Russia and the world is lucky to not have you as the leader of China because frankly your username matches the quality of the take.
