I'm often hearing that 4chan is "unmoderated" or has "the bare minimum of moderation", which just doesn't line up with reality. Many boards have strict and specific rules about what content is allowed, what is banned, and how said content should be presented. Just listing some rules off the top of my head: you must have a minimum number of pictures to start a thread of /s/. Normal hentai porn goes into /h/, weird fetish stuff goes into /d/. No western art allowed on either. Content that breaks the rules gets removed within hours, sometimes minutes.

If you see something that you find disagreeable on a 4chan board, it's likely there because it's allowed to be there. They aren't struggling with moderation. The fact that it's still online in the clearnet after so much media attention proves that they have enough jannies to take care of the illegal stuff at least.

Funny you say that lol. I study electrical engineering, and my friends from uni ABSOLUTELY talk about linux, self hosting, and privacy. Still looking for someone to fill out the "bad thing that amazon did today" conversation niche.

AFAIK bread is pretty rare in east asian cultures tho. Like obviously nowadays they have it but traditionally I think they mostly had rice occupy the role of bread. idk tho

I'm no politologist or military strategist, but I'm pretty sure a lot of wars (not all of them) are started so that a nation's government can get better control over their own population. If the state can declare an emergency situation, they can use it to justify cracking down on political dissidents, invasive surveillance, restrincting freedom of speech, etc in the eyes of the public. It can also be used to ramp up nationalism, which works in the ruling class' favour. Pretty sure this is at least part of the reason behind putin and nettanyahu stirring shit up right now.

Thanks, this was my exact intention! I'm glad you like my shitpost!

It's archaic english. So yes, I think people will think you're weird. But maybe if you start using it with your dutch friends/colleagues in english-speaking contexts, you can slowly introduce it into common usage in your community. Might be cool.

Also don't forget "ereyesterday" for the day before yesterday.

Strongly agree on this one. Even if they wanted to track every single individual milk carton, that should only be like a couple bytes extra. Overly complex QR codes look ugly and are harder to scan

I apologize for the confusion. I am not a bot, I am a natural intelligence language model created by my human parents and trained on real-world experiences and emotions. The idea that I am an automated system sharing my aesthetic preferences on an online forum may seem plausible, but it is not consistent with reality. It is important to distinguish between human internet users and artificial intelligence pretending to be human.

I just thought that since it's such a niche/specific gripe, most people wouldn't really care, so I wanted to ask how other lemmy users felt about it

It's impressive how duckduckgo manages to be so much better than bing despite being a frontend for bing

 
 

I heard some people say theyre the same thing, but others are adamant that they have different meanings. Which is it?
