Be more selective with your crossposting in the future or people will downvote you for spamming.

The Threadiverse may have too many tankies and not enough active communities, but with Reddit becoming greedier and greedier by the day, it's the only viable alternative.

Blocking .ml, Hexbear, and Lemmygrad solves a lot of the tankie problem, but it could certainly still use more people to support non-news or politics communities.

Important to note that he's unfortunately still convicted under the national security law for 20 years.

It would arguably be better to link to a real source rather than Perplexity.

From the beginning, we’ve said the pace of AI and uncertainties in the field would require us to rapidly iterate and improve the policy

Allowing the US military to use AI for weapons and mass surveillance is not 'improving the policy'.

Does Sharkey require the community name to be mentioned in the post body?

So they want to sacrifice 'effectiveness' in later years then?

If they were to stop funding genocide in Palestine I'm sure they'd find extra room in their budget.

Agreed; Discord is trying to lull people into a false sense of security as a means of convincing them to stay, in the same manner that Reddit gave limited API access to apps like RedReader to stem the tide of users leaving for platforms like Lemmy.

Beyond age verification, if Discord is scanning a user's messaging history to determine what their age is, one can only imagine all the other data valuable to data brokers that they are extracting from it too.

"Too late" isn't even relevant anyway, they're still doing it, so everyone should still be leaving.

A crisis entirely of his own design.
