Because drugs are bad mmmkay?

And drugs are defined by tv shows. Drugs are pills.

Also, talk about drugs anywhere and you’ll encounter 40-somethings with an unreasonable hatred of drugs. They get crazy. That’s the “just say no” propaganda talking. It was pushed in the schools in the 80s, and we still hear the echoes.

It’s a testament to the power of media and propaganda.

Yes of course.

But by what method or algorithm does this DECENTRALIZED SOCIAL MEDIA system protect us from propagandists and censors?

What is a method in THAT?

Distributed tagging and voting? The grace of our benevolent moderators? Something else?

I mean, combatting propaganda and censorship is the #1 issue here.

How do we protect ourselves from propagandists and censors? Large, small, popular and individual.

You should just answer the questions.

Ever tried to play a difficult video game while also baking a batch of cookies and discussing Christmas plans with your parents?

You see how it works.

That’s an excellent one :)

Surely drug use is as old as eating. From the first time that you eat a strange berry or funky apple.

Sure. I’ll put it up top

All programmers are goth supermodels.

Well it depends on the definition of censor.

If you define censor as, “to suppress or delete as objectionable” (Webster) then it fits just fine.

Firsthand experience is beyond words and super deep.

Convert to words. Consume words. Map words to your own experience.

It’s basically anime at that point.

Do you think it’s a conscious plan to mindcontrol everybody or is it just a basement dweller treating his mod powers like the ultimate downvote?

But you uttered an opinion about moderation. So address my point.

Most? Well not my conversations.

Maybe it’s a smalltalk vs “largetalk” thing. Maybe most conversations are smalltalk. Talk that’s just friendly noise or whatever.

That is a territory with which I am pretty unfamiliar.

But ya, 2 totally different kinds of talk.

Maybe trolling constitutes a 3rd variety.

Well there is no clean connection between the rule and reality (short of forbidden word lists anyway). It’s always a matter of somebody’s interpretation.

Some communities have rules like “don’t be a dick”, which seems implied.

Maybe rules are inappropriate here. At best a justification.

Actually it ain’t. Good, catch
