If you’re receiving a service you aren’t paying for, YOU are the product

some exclusions apply

’ll address their viewpoint also, instead of using the ad hominem as an excuse not to.

so you fold an ad hominem attack into a gish gallop. if you knowwhat bad faith is, then you know exactly what you are doing

they’re the ones who spammed Israel stories relentlessly leading up to the election, which in my view was probably because they were trying to help get the more genocidal candidate elected.

this assumption of bad faith is, itsef, bad faith

Voting third party in the United States only serves to draw support away from one’s second-preferred candidate to the benefit of one’s least preferred candidate, as demonstrated by the failure of relatively popular third-party right-wing presidential campaigns in 1992 and 1996

analysis of those elections found that perot actually shrank clinton’s margin of victory. if you don’t know, you can just not say anything.

I actually engaged for quite a while factually before accusing them of being propaganda.

Don’t do it at all. there’s no excuse. it’s toxic.

Have fun! You can make a post about me, I think the comments would be pretty interesting.

falling into a pretty consistent pattern of how the propaganda accounts

accounts which you accuse without evidence of being propaganda accounts

someone you are accusing, without evidence, of being a propagandist. instead of dealing with what they’re saying, you poison the well (a form of ad hominem) and accuse them of having hidden motives…it’s toxic, and I’m on a campaign to get you defederated from my instance.

this accusation of bad faith is, itself, bad faith

they didn’t catch him because of bad opsec, unless you consider Tor to be bad opsec. they caught him with a parallel reconstruction after the NSA illegally spied on him.

change my mind

it was to kill competition who were threatening to kill him. id say if the law won’t protect you, you are free to protect yourself

you don’t know what’s in the book they linked

I feel like this is a personal attack. I just made 3 communities and announced I would be BDFL. if the governance structure was available when I announced that, I would have said that I was going to be using it.

oooh. now do economics!!

I like open protocols and free software, and during the API exodus there was finally enough content that I wanted to jump ship.

of course I had annoyances with reddit, but I have annoyances with Lemmy too.

it’s still preferable imho
