    By having an upvote / downvote system it already has a censoring and ranking system.

    If you look at most threads people downvote dissenting opinions regardless of the quality of their arguments, some instances become echo chambers that way.

    You can easily control the narrative by upvoting someone that argues against you, most people will see your comment as

    1 upvote 1 downvote

    And the person arguing with you as

    2 upvotes

    Therefore they will be biased to downvote you further and upvote the other person as their social calibration defaults to thinking you are in the wrong as someone else said so already, it’s more economical that way as you won’t really have to do that assessment.

    It’s a very interesting phenomenon and I’d like to do some formal testing with it across multiple social media with upvote/downvote functions, but I believe it does censor opinions that do not adhere to the usual feelings of the majority.

    Earlier this year, the State Customs Service of Ukraine registered 653 cases of disappeared humanitarian cargo for military purposes. Some of the missing materials included plates for body armor, night vision devices, thermal imagers, drones, and military vehicles.

    How the fuck are they “disappearing” military vehicles, having a whole third of the donations just vanish is really messed up.

    Ukraine has got to get its shit together and really fight corruption in a more meaningful way.

    I’ve had a good experience with YouTube comments but I feel they are pretty pointless as:

    • there is no search function:Ctrl f only takes you so far as it just looks at what is currently present and sometimes even hidden by display more or within replies, it’s very annoying.

    • people spam a lot and comments only load in batches: 10k comments in popular videos saying shit like ‘sir thank you sir, excellent tutorial, I didn’t understand anything but I like using React’.

    • some comments get auto removed: if you want to post a workaround or some piece of code, it gets removed if there’s a link or link-looking structure.

    I mostly comment on tech-related tutorials just to post a list of the issues I had and the solutions, from time to time I get pinged with more questions and people are generally grateful and sometimes other people mention better/easier workarounds.

    The ruse began with Ballard and women in the organization taking cross-country trips to “practice” their “sexual chemistry” with tantric yoga, couple’s massages with escorts and performing lap dances on Ballard, the lawsuit claims.

    While promotional materials portrayed the group’s overseas missions as “paramilitary drop-ins to arrest traffickers and rescue children,” they mostly involved “going to strip clubs and massage parlors across the world, after flying first class to get there, and staying at five-star hotels, on boats, and at VRBOs (vacation rentals by owner) across the globe,” the lawsuit alleges.

    Several women, meanwhile, were eventually subjected to “coerced sexual contact,” including “several sexual acts with the exception of actual penetration, in various states of undress,” the lawsuit alleges.

    So Ballard’s way to catch sex predators was to literally turn himself into one lol
