Syncthing is great to periodically sync files between Linux and Android. And you could use it as file transfer service for occasional needs if you just share an empty directory.

Aight but if a critical mass flees the spam-ridden husks of reddit/Twitter, the bots will come for us too.

Yeah, guys like Belogubov won’t stop at Reddit, they’ll infest every forum on the web to make even more money.
What can we do?
Human moderation of course, but against bots this might be a loosing battle.
So good AIs to fight bad AIs?
Or, if push comes to shove, white hats could take down the ReplyGuy website and the likes.

I agree the ideal solution would have been to stamp out antisemitism, so that a Jewish State would not have been necessary. But that should have been done before millions of Jews were killed in genocide. Imagine being being a survivor and being told : “Trust us, we are good people now, we won’t commit genocide against you… again”. Antisemitism and antisemites didn’t all die with Hitler.

Gascogna!

Reminds me of an argument I had with a transphobic person about Last of Us 2’s trans character Lev. I tried to tell him even I used to be ignorant of trans people feelings. So I have said hurtful things in the past. Until I realised what harm my words could cause. Didn’t help to make him change his mind though!

“Are you gonna start grilling?” Damn, kids pick up on stereotypes quite quickly!

We call those not far enough to the left “social democrats”. And they’re proud of it generally, since the term implies they’re part of the polite/non radical democracy. So they argue those farther to the left are anti-democratic.

Now I’m trying to think what would be the equivalent of the “liberal” insult in my country… We hear a lot of you’re the “extreme left”, just as bad as the extreme right. You’re “outside of the republican/democratic frame”. As in you’re too radical too be part of the “polite democratic society”.
