Not with that attitude anyhow

So there’s an opportunity for anyone looking to get a chunk of Youtube’s market share, in other words. 🤔

Sad but true

See, shit like this is why I pirate crap. Why in the world people use almost any streaming service is just beyond me.

The only good ones are the independent services run by actual Youtubers like Nebula and the like. At least those ones help contribute directly to content creators.

Who is dumb enough to just allow themselves to be manipulated, abused and taken for a ride in such a way?

🤔 And no one thought to make a federated Amazon alternative yet.

What the hell would stop the government from just putting CSAM onto the phones of political rivals and upstarts to get them jailed without question?

And child molesters will run away scot-free on account of all this.

Isn’t there anyone who will stop the dirty child molesters without wanting power in return? Anyone?

Anyone who will stop the government?

Anybody?

You all need to stop with the AI generated bullshit and just go get a picture on Google Images or something.

Look at that kid’s ear. And the bottom of his face with the jowls of a 50-year-old man. That is clearly AI generated.

EDIT: And the whole-ass top of his head is missing. And that car is obviously fake

I am legitimately trying to figure out why it is people still use Google for anything when we know there are tons of better alternatives out there.

Do people just not know about the alternatives? Do they not know about DuckDuckGo?

Some seeds are carried place to place on the winds. They probably came from Australia or southern Chile or Argentina or some such place.

Yet most kids don’t, and most kids aren’t obese from it.

You can’t simply force people to be healthy either. People, including kids, have the right to be unhealthy, and that’s just something you have to accept if you want a free society.

If you don’t accept it, that just means you don’t want a free society, that’s all.

And if you don’t, you can advocate for it in the thread. As I said, I want people’s honest opinions. But you can’t have it both ways.

I’d take that over the situation now. At least if they had to resort to bannable offenses to retaliate, they’d actually get banned.

All blocking does now is give them free reign to harass you, which completely defeats the point.

Like if we have to be afraid of vengeful users who want to win something, why have blocking at all then? We might as well just bend over and hope they use lube.

The person you blocked can still see, and reply to, everything you say. It only denies you the opportunity to respond, allowing them to discredit you and turn others against you without your knowledge. It also doesn’t stop them downvoting you at all, leaving them free to retaliate via vote bombing.

They should be the ones unable to see any comments you make. They should be unable to reply or respond to you. They should be unable to vote on any of your comments or even posts at all.

But it’s the opposite, and therefore completely broken.

User blocking doesn’t work at all.

What you’re actually doing is forum sliding to protect corrupt Lemmy admins as if it’ll get you someplace, and it won’t.

I won’t play your stupid little game anymore. Bye

I don’t have to take action on a fact to have the right to state it.

You might not like the fact that Lemmy admins are just as susceptible to corruption as everyone else, but no one is going to stop saying it simply because you don’t want to hear it. And you can’t bully us into being quiet about it, either.

Will user blocking actually work the way it should now or is it still useless garbage that enables harassment?

Because I don’t have to for them to be terrible or to prove what I said is right.

Instance admins are already compromised sometimes. They can be bribed or get greedy.

He’s not wrong. 🤷

It might be better to make participation mandatory to prevent a ruling class from demoralizing everyone else they way they did here with voting.
