Rather then step in as arbiters of truth, they should provide tools, links and APIs to let their users decide what is true and what is misinformation. If their users express some concensus, like 90%+ of real human users, then I think they’re right to demote or provide warning labels on particular links.
My point is that this information is typically not verifiable in an independent sense. This get essentially to what is truth, the truth we should all agree is the truth no matter who’s providing it to us. We can verify it for ourselves. As an example, if we have 14 videos of the same incident and they show roughly the same events then we can be fairly confident that that event occured because we trust that those 14 sources are real and non-colluding.
If the information is verifiably false, it doesn’t matter who proves it.
Is there some guarantee on that swearing bit?
It was created more for specialization than to split the community. As others have pointed out, anonymity is a particular kind of privacy. There’s no exclusivity. You can be in both.
Though it’s hard to know the effect of another sub, Privacy is one of the largest subs here so seems one of the most likely to be able to survive an offshoot.
What is reasonable doubt when it comes to machine learning?
Are there no sane folks left in that government? You’d think they were being invaded by Russia or something.
It is not an issue of cost, but of the email address catch22. A new identity has no email and doesn’t .ml require that for registration?
Does this not require a domain name?
Hosting email is hard so big props to whomever’s running that. Will try it thanks.
Oil should be on a schedule of increasing taxation so that people gradually rid carbon usage from their lives. The only problem is making sure that money goes somewhere useful.
It’s fine. Email is not the most important thing in the world. Writefreely and lemmy are probably enough to start but I still have leads.
For some reason it won’t load a temporary email over Tor, which I’m going to insist on since there’s no rush.
I support ending the federal tracking app requirement for re-entry into Canada but vaccine mandates are more complex. In the long term I suspect human bodies are going to need shots to be able to withstand whatever biotech might produce. Vaccines are useful human technology that require coordination for maximum effect, but I believe that coordination should come through education, certainly not violence. Whether denial of employment would count as force is an open question.
Aww @Voz@lemmy.ml hope you see a real person someday soon. I feel welcome and starting to like it here. This is going to be fun methinks.
This isn’t what happened for me. They wanted an email confirmation so it’s rather chicken and egg. Maybe tutanota will work as an initial provider then i can get a protonmail. It seems these services have their ideas about which are acceptable for what.
It’s an extra big and unknown challenge to fix other people’s behavior. How about we make what we need and then show people how to use it. The vast majority of people are in a trance for much of their day and I don’t know how to wake them. But some others are awake and looking for ways to break free. It’s important that we make that easier and better.
I tried Yandex but I think since I’m using Tor they limited my account and asked for SMS. ProtonMail required email confirmation from another email so it’s rather chicken and egg. Some systems work on an invite principle so that could work, or maybe to request an account with an appeal in text. Finally, if spam is the issue paying with some crypto might be possible.
The problem is the whole model of collecting and using data to control us. Our interests become liabilities when we are shown what we like plus a little bit of fear, comedy, and outrage.
You make some good points. I say let the FBs and Apples fight it out and let us go on with what we’re truly interested in. Use Tor and try to create the free, privacy-respecting life that you want for yourself and loved ones.
It’s a matter of time. Just like with software, you have to have a bias toward open source, freedom respecting objects and support them with your cash.
