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.

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.

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?

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.

There’s this book “Waiting For the Galactic Bus”. It’s about two immortal, energy based aliens who get stranded on primitive Earth and give a proto-ape an IQ boost, creating the human race. They find that when humans die their consciousness sticks around and has gathered in two “post-life energy pools”. The humans in these pools are expecting some version of heaven and hell, so the aliens decide to give them what they want just to keep them happy.

At first the alien running the pool dubbed “below stairs” doesn’t understand what the humans are asking for, but the other gives him a copy of Dante’s Inferno as an explanation (his response: “These people are sick!”) So he gives the humans the scenery and props they want, and makes sure all the exits are clearly marked. They can leave any time they want. But they stay because they insist on having their hell.

This book is one of the most insightful commentaries on human nature I’ve ever read.

How much does a few cartridges of ink cost?

I bought a Brother laser printer years ago and I’m still on the first full sized toner cartridge (not including the half sized one it came with).

My printer usage got cut drastically when I stopped having in-person D&D games.

I’m torn between “Fuck no!” and “What? Seriously?”

When has the internet ever been willing to switch to paying for a service that used to be free?

That needs to be the word of the year.

They won’t deliberately wreck the place, but they won’t understand what made reddit a great site.

I guess my subreddit is too tiny and little-used for them to take notice of.
