Wish: more solarpunk and other NOT-dystopian sci-fi aesthetics around: we all need more positive tech vibes like we did in the early-mid 20th century!

Why Don’t We Just Ban Targeted Advertising?

From protecting privacy to saving the free press, it may be the single best way to fix the internet.

@stevenroose yup, the world has went completely off their rocker insane when it comes to propaganda these days. Especially when its so trivial to debunk it.

@design_RG @mngrif @arteteco Seems I'm going to reluctantly have to vote to silence neckbeard, pl, and FSE.

Giving safe harbor to individuals who evade bans and complete inaction regarding resolving it is too big a risk to the safety of our users. If they can no longer block users they wish to block they have no protection against harassment. Since this individual threatened to murder someone it is particularly concerning.

As was seen I reached out to the admin of all three instances and after a long talk none were willing to take action to ban or contain the user in any way.

For these reasons I reluctantly need to vote for a silence.

Any votes from the rest of you or discussion left?

Shotguns are just BB guns for adults... yea I said it.

>the terrified people agree whole-heartedly
>when at any other time the people would shout them down as privacy-invasive and as further erosions of freedom
How eerily familiar! :vomit:
