  • Are people better off just doing what they want or do they need police watching them and forcing them to do the right thing?

  • That would be difficult seeing as how I have yet to offer you an argument.

  • Universal public access surveillance and arming everybody is one non-cop option.

  • So a kind of democratically crafted block list. It's a good idea.

    In Lemmy, direct democracy becomes very feasible.

  • So quote yourself. You don't even need to put in the quote marks.

  • How about on Lemmy? You know, mods

  • Assume a high-quality rightness

  • What if moderators were assigned by post instead of community?

  • I am referring to the average user.

    This would replace communities. We wouldn't have communities. We'd have posts and tags. For example, instead of "ask lemmy" community we'd tag our post with "ask lemmy" tag. And, optionally, any other topic-related tags one deems appropriate (thus cross-posting).

    Trolls would be handled in the obvious way. Votes, tags, lists, account age, keywords, blocking , reporting etc.

  • Yeah, I didn't think so.

  • Easier for the user. In both cases.

    It's easier to handle a bad moderator because going to or creating a new post is easier than going to or creating a new community (because you don't have to abandon all the members).

    It's easier to moderate because there are more moderators. Each post is moderated by its creator.

  • If you distrust a poster then you can refrain from interacting with him. Just like a community moderator or a regular user on Reddit or Lemmy. You can filter out likely suspects.

    Also, this is really obvious stuff.

  • A community moderator can do the exact same thing.

  • If you see a specific example of me being defensive then address it.

    If you see a lot of problems then list them.

  • What lurking suspicion do you have about something but is hard to prove?

  • I'm actually a longtime meditator (tho I have partaken of hallucinogens in the past). It's pretty great.

  • I'm not seeing how that follows. You'd better explain it to me.

    I feel bad for people who say "I can't" when they mean "I won't".

    We really like thinking. In fact we think thinking is more important than everything else. We might be aliens from some kind of thought-universe.

    Humans dominate the world because we can focus our attention really well. That's our big power from which all the science and engineering flow.

    Morals and aesthetics are the same thing, just differing contexts. Both are a sense of rightness.

    Assuming The Matrix (generally speaking, a synthetic reality that binds us all within it), SETI looks very different.

    Zen meditation is to an individual what science is to a society.

    We might not even be communicating.

    Censorship is a much greater crime than insult.

    The focused, passionate experts are boring and broken. It's the uncertain fakers that you want to talk to.

    We prefer dreams. Story, movie and game are dream-amplifiers. Science is a useful dream.

    Drugs is the most popular thing on Earth. Religion is an attempt to organize that.

    If you agree with the majority then censorship is ok.

    The opinion of one great artist is worth more than the opinions of 100,000 normal people.

    The demon is a creature of language. Subject to it and highly fluent in it. Which is ironic because it lies all the time. But if you tell it the tapwater is holy, it will burn.

    You understand a thing best by direct observation. There is no substitute.

    do any of you do shikantaza meditation?

    Reading is powerfully and subtley consciousness-altering. For good and bad.
