I don’t like to be that guy, however if we play with your idea, there are some issues you will need to consider.

Centralization If we ban centralization then IRC, Signal, Xenforo, vBulletin, you name it will be forbidden as well. There is a reason why we always see some degree of centralization. Federation is tricky to get right from a technical point of view. Even when you have federation, each unit in that “web” will usually have a centralized moderation team and administration.

Proprietary Sometimes, spam/abuse is fought with the help of obscurity. In other words, service providers will hide exactly how they detect spam to prevent spammers from adapting and bypass their technique. Even Signal does this. They have a small proprietary piece of code, specifically designed to fight spam/abuse. The rest of their code is open source as far as I know. Can you suggest a comparable alternative?

Commercial Do you mean that they at most should be non-profit? And if so, why?

If I was still a child and had parents like that, I would cry.

There is also the issue of companies pinky-promising that they won’t track you but still call home.

But if no other alternatives are available, this is good to know.

I really dislike when there is such antagonism/disharmony between the sexes, and I cannot bring myself to enjoy a comic like this.

Another one: Elon Musk is pushing the whole Grooming Gang propaganda on X to cause tensions in the UK. As if nobody cares about victims when the perpetrator happens to be brown. It’s absolute populist BS.

He is also saying that the parliament should be dissolved, and is throwing around more outrageous accusations: https://www.forbes.com/sites/tylerroush/2025/01/04/elon-musk-pushes-for-britains-king-charles-to-dissolve-parliament-as-lawmakers-say-tesla-ceo-is-misinformed/

We have people with obvious political agendas controlling the world’s largest social media platforms, and it’s not just the CCP.

I support blocking Facebook and X from the EU for the same reason.

In my opinion, the worst part about new cars is that they are essentially tracking devices and some of them can be remotely controlled.

Any suggestions on how to get a car that doesn’t track you and was built post-2010?

It’s better to eat real food.

Girl: Sorry, but I’m not interested.

Guy: Stupid fat bitch slut!

Who responds like that?

Edit: Removed unnecessary statement.

For reference, one of the books was called Gender Queer. I’m not sure if that’s the one with the gay blow job though. That’s the gay blow job book.

This is referring to a few books that were banned from school libraries a while ago (not sure what they were doing there in the first place).

Anyway, one of the books that were banned showed males sucking each other off. That’s hardly something you would be eager to show a kid unless you are a groomer. A common theme between these books in general was that they were pornographic. The fact that there was, and still is an outrage from the LGBT community till this day because of the bans is telling.

Also, do make note of the people here comparing the bans to Nazi Germany. Yeah, not showing kids gay porn is like being a Nazi, apparently. Disgusting.
