“If we don’t flood the front page with Nazi stuff, we’re as bad as the Nazis” was always my least favorite argument.

I firmly disagree. “The way to stop Nazism is to let them talk more and let more people see a bunch of Nazi stuff” can be judged as nonsense by inspection.

I love the qualifier “known human” hahahaha!

“Should”? Hell no. “Do”? Yes, all of them, all the time, no matter whether I know about it or not.

Good lord, please lead with that in the future! Censorship is much more convincing than “there’s an account I don’t like”!

Do you have a more convincing argument for Bluesky being a “Nazi platform” than “a government organization opened an account”? Because they could literally open a Lemmy account tomorrow on whatever server.

People who want school to be practical scare me.

“If I can’t spam your home screen with sex jokes, that’s called censorship”

I wouldn’t want to have to take time to review budget proposals for my municipality, province, and country every day after I get off work. We have people for that.

I don’t think this is as simple as “they’re too young to know”! I’m a 30+ year old man, and I was around 15 when YouTube first came out. I was a huge fan of the early days, when YouTube was free!

I am absolutely fine with paying a monthly/annual fee for ad-free access to perhaps the best compilation of human knowledge and entertainment which has ever been compiled in one place. One reason I’m cool with it is that premium views pay the content creator more than the equivalent ad view.

Sure, YouTube “created the issue” of ads. But if it means supporting the creators and removing a barrier to videos, I’m fine with the price.
