Firefox + ublock still works perfectly fine for me.

Kinda like how text isn’t actually text when you are dreaming because your brain doesn’t want to spend resources recreating actual words and meaning when you are sleeping.

Is it impossible for you to focus on more than one issue at the same time?

I mean, just voting for Trump doesn’t objectively make you a bad person…

It definitely does.

but one could argue that aside from Trump’s character he wasn’t the worst president the US has had.

That is completely irrelevant to the subject about whether voting for Trump objectively makes you a bad person though.

You haven’t read the linked article, because the author does adress this. They point out that Peterson specifically does hide obvious and banal ideas in his sentences, so that when people finally find some blatant truths in his word salad, it makes it seem like the ideas are much more profound than the platitudes they actually are.

Here is a quote from the article:

The inflating of the obvious into the awe-inspiring is part of why Peterson can operate so successfully in the “self-help” genre. He can give people the most elementary fatherly life-advice (clean your room, stand up straight) while making it sound like Wisdom.

And remember the author actually shows this with numerous in-depth examples from Peterson’s writings. A better editor would do nothing, because Peterson writes like that with intent, the intent being to disguise what a cultish hack he is.

And the vaccine was a choice. Noone was forced to take it.

They already did, that was done before they launched the vaccines. You still don’t think they are safe, so now it is up to you to prove why. Which you can’t, because you have nothing but your feelings to show for it.

A lot of main communities (especially regarding technology, news and politics) are located in .world and .ml, so users from all instances will participate there.

And people who signed up on that instance signed up themselves.

It seems like about 50% of the recommenders in this thread didn’t read OPs list of requirements at all.

It requires that you write an application and that that application gets accepted by admins for you to join though. So it is not really an option.

If they haven’t even logged in to their account once then any (highly unlikely) false positives of real accounts getting deleted will be an acceptable loss.

Yeah, it was aptly called thesefuckingaccounts. It did much good work to fight the incessant bot spammers and scammers, although probably just a drop in the ocean in the big picture that has become the cesspool of reddit interaction (mostly with the full compliance of the reddit administration).

These particular “leftists” are completely cool with Xi and Putin though.

When the discourse is defaulted to English, you end up with users who are either native English speakers and people using English as a lingua franca.

But that is the thing, this assumption is most likely not correct. The second half of it is (which you didn’t mention in your original comment), but the first part is largely untrue.

Your assumptions are incorrect. There never were a vast majority of American users, and English based sites doesn’t necessarily attract people who speak English as their primary language. The world knows (except for perhaps some Americans) that English is the lingua franca of our day, so English being used in a website doesn’t say anything at all about its geographical or cultural makeup.

It is a stupid argument anyway that fundamentally ignores the entire concept of the internet being global and universal. If a site is aimed at a global userbase it is mostly completely irrelevant (except for legal purposes of course) where that site was originally created or where the servers are located.
