It’s too bad that it doesn’t also block comments from users of blocked instances. Isn’t there a uBlock Origin cosmetic filter that does that? Does anybody remember what that was?

Also, does anybody know of a way to browse two instances as one feed, and easily switch between users? I swore I heard there was some way to do that, but I don’t remember the details.

Absolutely, absolutely. This is why I have high hopes for this type of cybernetics.

Do you have any knowledge/opinions on OGAS in the USSR?

boy he die!!! shit boy!!! boyyoass how he have die over some SOCIALISM!!!

Alright, for a serious question: I have always wondered and never really found a satisfying answer to why something like Cybersyn doesn’t currently exist in any socialist states. I’m sure that it’s complicated and multifaceted and there’s a lot to say about material conditions and internal politics and all that jazz, which is surely a lot of juicy stuff to get people arguing over.

I’m also specifically wondering about the role that 3D printing and CNC might or should have in a more automated Cybersyn-like society. It feels like that technology has the potential of creating a shift towards extremely local production for a lot of things, which I think would be really good for the environment, for building local community, and for strengthening individual freedom.

Is that, like, your thing…?

Am I allowed to say “this, but only half-ironically”?

The problem isn’t really with dictionaries, which are a great tool for documenting and learning a language as it changes. I have nothing but respect for the editors of dictionaries. The problem is more with the way that a lot of people treat dictionaries as an authority, even though that isn’t what they’re supposed to be used for. This ends up being just one way in which a sort of hegemonic standard language is established/reproduced, which marginalizes non-standard language use.

…I dunno where I’m going with this. I just started typing and then blacked out for a second.

I don’t think the glans is supposed to be sucking.

Sorry, I didn’t see that you edited this. Yes, that would be unfair.

Generally opposed for what reason? Is it maybe a moral judgment, and if so, where did you get your morals from? Is it more that it just makes you feel uncomfortable, and if so why does it make you feel that way? If it’s something else, then what is it and why? Do you think that there may have been a difference of experience that led one community to find calls to violence to be acceptable, while your community finds that type of behavior to be completely reprehensible? What sort of difference of experience might that be? Have you ever thought to look into that?

These are the questions that I want you to seriously reflect on. Again, you have no obligation to respond, you can even dismiss this whole comment and say that these are all loaded questions, and tell me to stop replying if I’m being annoying and you’ve had enough. All of that is completely fair.
