  • Trump says school strike 'done by Iran'

    Jump

  • if he says the sky is blue, it's probably dark out. Everybody knows he lies twice every time he opens his mouth once.

  • Reddit banned me from r/help because their AI thought my posts “looked like AI"

    Jump

  • Reddit has been a dumpster fire of heavy-handed bans, and refusal of mod transparency or appeal, for a while now. It started when they closed off the API against third-party mod tools. It won't get better anytime soon. Glad you're here in the Lemmyverse instead.

  • India's top court bans textbook for referring to judicial corruption

  • ... banned from making kimchi

    that sounds like a story that needs to be told!

  • Advice for improving family relations?

    Jump

  • You need to internalize the idea that it's not fair of anyone to expect yoi to do more than be a compassionate listener. Be firm about not taking on an intermediary/messenger role.

    Try saying things like "You seem to be hesitant about speaking your mind to Mom, what do you think will happen if you tell her what you need?" "What's your plan to solve this if you don't feel like you can express your feelings to her?"

    Healthy venting is solution-oriented. You're under no obligation to entertain endless circular whining and fake helplessness from adults.

  • How long should I know a person for before asking them out?

    Jump

  • There's no one-size-fits-all answer. Most people but by no means all people step through stages of confirming mutual social attraction, then romantic attraction, and finally sexual attraction.

    So start out with hanging out as friends, and if mutual chemistry or "sparks" don't manifest then you just have a friend, and can look elsewhere for romance and sexual attraction.

    It will help you a lot to figure out whether you're demisexual and what your needs and expectations are as far as exclusivity.

  • Russian family who complained of mistreatment in ICE facility is released after 4 months

    Jump

  • If this poster-child family of "Caucasians" had it bad, I can only imagine how the Dilley concentration camp goons are torturing their kidnap victims who don't flag the vision of racial purity.

  • Father faces no charges for fatally shooting daughter after fight about Donald Trump

    Jump

  • "Texas fash bootlicker faces no charges for disposing of woke foreigner who happened to be his daughter"

  • Palestinian doctor banned from Bluesky

    Jump

  • no actual pro-Palestine content

    Not what I said, and twisting nuanced issues into black-and-white absolutes is a classic bad-faith propaganda tactic.

  • Palestinian doctor banned from Bluesky

    Jump

  • Bsky gets a constant stream of bot-created scam accounts posing as Gazans soliciting donations for food, medicine, shelter etc. Sometimes as many as a dozen created within seconds, all pointing to the same donation-platform URL, with only minimal variations of usernames or post content, sometimes with donation URL obscured using short-link services.

    Just like with email spam, scammers and filters are locked in an endless adaptation race. It is almost inevitable that some genuine accounts will trigger false positives when demographics or keywords overlap the flood of scam/spam content.

    The situation is also very vulnerable to manipulation by the forces perpetrating Palestinian genocide. Israel's cyberwarfare goons certainly have the means to manipulate, poison and jam Bsky's Palestine-adjacent topic space, effectively co-opting and weaponizing Bsky's own filters against genuine critics of the Palestinian genocide.

    P.S. fuck Xitter too lol

  • Reddit permabanned my account for speaking out against pedos.

    Jump

  • Help me understand: was this a subreddit you participated in for months or longer, before encountering a wave of objectifying comments? Or is it more like, you were a newb to the sub when you started pestering mods about a tone that was already established as normalized there?

  • Removed

    Canada separatists accused of ‘treason’ after secret talks with US state department

    Jump

  • I am utterly baffled as to why any Canadian in their right mind would want to be annexed by the U.S.

    Sure, charge them with treason, but give them psych evals. Maybe offer mental health treatment in lieu of whatever Canada does to treason, it's clearly a cry for help to overcome Fascist Oligarch Cuck Syndrome.

  • Trump drops tariff threats over Greenland after meeting with NATO chief.

    Jump

  • Not that his word is worth a discontinued penny that was accidentally digested and shat out by a coffee bean civet

  • Why does Reddit block people browsing with VPNs when logged out but allow you to log-in and use a VPN?

    Jump

  • It has everything to do with identifying and profiling visitors, but I believe ad revenue is just the cover justification. Social media user profiling has crossed the technological threshold into being of interest to authoritarian states, who are very keen to know who the likely troublemakers are and to neuter social networks as potential channels for resistance organization.

  • X now lets any user AI-edit other users’ images without consent, and there is no opt out

    Jump

  • I don't disagree, it certainly has removed all brakes and hurdles.

    Venezuela latest: Trump says US has 'captured' President Maduro in strikes on country - latest

    Jump

  • That Maduro must have an awful lot of Epstein files

  • Israeli cybersecurity billionaire Shlomo Kramer says "it's time to limit the First Amendment... We need to control all the social platforms."

    Jump

  • I'm sure Shlomo will lead the way by limiting his own First Amendment rights and shutting the fuck up? No? Fuck off with that fash vomit then.

  • X now lets any user AI-edit other users’ images without consent, and there is no opt out

    Jump

  • You can download and twiddle anything you can screenshot. There is no way to garner "consent". Was Xitter a dumpster fire already and is this feature going to make it burn faster, well yes of course. But the engagement metrics will look glorious for the shareholders for a moment, until all the adolescents get jaded again.

  • Xi Jinping vows to reunify China and Taiwan in New Year’s Eve speech

    Jump

  • Authoritarianism and leftism are incompatible ideologies. The PRC and USSR both failed at their worker revolutions and swiftly ended up with corrupt oligarchy still controlling the means of production and hoarding the fruits of production. That's not left-wing, that's the far-right con game.
