Hmm..
So your argument is that we potentially lose valuable insight?
I agree in principle, but it is hard to balance.
Because without a certain amount of civility we potentially lose the voice of minorities and oppressed groups of people.
In a free democratic country you of course should be legally allowed to be abrasive and say mean hurtful things.
How would you balance/solve this dilemma on a social network? The same way as the law?
I am a bit torn here
To be fair, that's kinda deserved. You could experience the same here.
There are plenty of other reasons to hate on Reddit, but acting in a fairly civil manner should be expected.
Glad to have you here though! 😊
I am out of the loop. What does this mean?
Can they remove a bad review without text?
Great! Fur is unecessary, and creates unecessary suffering.
Fur isn't even close to being necessary, wool, cotton and plastic/chemicals is more than good enough.
I have always found the concept of littering bizzare. And not from a "do what is right" perspective.
"Do you not understand that it will be there basically your entire life, unless someone picks it up!? Every time you walk by, you will see that wrapper you just threw on the ground for months and years. You have pockets!"
Yup, it's overblown. Just wanted to give an explanation, you never know what level of awareness other strangers have online. Wish you the best, and see you around!
It is not a problem in many contexts. For instance complementing people in social non-work gatherings. "Wow, you look great in that suit", or "You are even prettier than I remember". Or when talking about someones ability to attract attention.
However in the context of an important message from a person, it derails the conversation and kinda just objectifies a person. As if it is more important than what they are saying or contributing.
It basically boils down to this: Do you want to be remembered for being good looking or your contributions to this world? How does it feel to be unsure if you got the job, because of looks? Or if people are listening because of your looks?
I am glad you asked, and I already saw someone gave a great explanation, but wanted to pitch in as well 😊
Consider other works of art that more than one person contributes to. People do research together, people make software together, bands make music together etc. I guess Christopher Waltz isn't creating amazing art when he portrayed Hans Landa in the opening sequence of Inglorious Bastards, or any other actor for that matter. They are just doing what the script tells them to.
When you sing you make something original. The lyrics might not be, the other instruments might not be, but there is only one exact voice that is yours.
I identify with Norwegian and western european liberal values. I believe in free speech, democratic values, science, press freedom, human rights, unity, being compassionate, a strong welfare state, equality, womens rights, lgbtqia+ rights. I also have a sense of feeling that all europeans are my peers and that we are a collective. When Russia attacked Ukraine, it felt as if they in some way also attacked a close neighbour, a friend and our way of life.
Just came across https://d-shoot.net/kagi.html . Seems like there are more good reasons to avoid it besides it also using Yandex as an index.
Is that an omission by choice or just something they haven't added yet?
Is it like a whitelist or a blacklist scenario?
