StellarTabi··on I no longer trust The Great Suspender
The lack of user control, lock files, granularity of controls over browser extensions has gone too far.

They rewrote anyways.
StellarTabi··on Parler drops offline after Amazon pulls support
IDK how you look at a source and say "wow, a completely unsourced"

then call a brief description of an event that obviously happened a "conspiracy theory".

War in Iraq, Guantanamo Bay, Drone strike, also irrelevant since those activities also didn't break Twitter's ToS?

StellarTabi··on Parler drops offline after Amazon pulls support
I don't think "convicted of crimes against humanity by the UN" violates Twitter's ToS, and I'm assuming he didn't use Twitter to commit any of the alleged crimes, so this is a pretty bad faith, whataboutism, complete non-sense, etc.. By this logic you could ban both Bush and Obama, too.

I remember when the US tried to overthrow Maduro recently, what do you mean?

> A private company cannot be authoritarian.

Almost all private companies are authoritarian. Examples of non-authoritarian companies might include co-ops.

StellarTabi··on Ask HN: Who is working on fully decentralized social networking?
Kind of sounds like blogs and RSS as it already is.
StellarTabi··on AWS just went multi-cloud
> But "lock in", IME, is only something people fret about on HN.

Lock in is a _very real problem_, but often you hear on HN scare mongering that making any decision at all is "lock in".

StellarTabi··on As internet forums die off, finding community can be harder than ever
Gonna have to disagree here, they made a great Q&A despite the software not being designed at all for Q&As.
StellarTabi··on Ethnic violence in Ethiopia has been supercharged by hate speech on Facebook
Yeah, sure, I just need to first finish debunking the allegations that Hillary is an blue iguana and then deal with the guy claiming the moon is not vegan.

> incoherent whataboutism blaming Joe Biden for nazi attacks

yeah dude, tell me more about this alleged "slander" of Ngo, no dude he's a grifter, that's not "FUD", that's old news and not really controversial.

Are we really citing alt right collaborator Andy Ngo, who has already been exposed for spreading misinformation?

StellarTabi··on How to Safely and Ethically Film Police Misconduct
It's always ethical to film police misconduct, in fact what's unethical is that they're not already filming themselves.

Safety is important, protesters (and even journalists...) have been livestreaming themselves innocently doing nothing (in contrast to other media's hyper-focusing on "looting") then getting shot with rubber bullets. One of them reportedly has permanent blindness in the left eye as a result.

Police brutality in response to a protest against police brutality is truly disturbing.

StellarTabi··on Americans, it turns out, would rather visit a store than buy food online
My branded grocery store bundles up old veggies and sells them at a steep discount, they're really good for freezing, smoothies, or cooking same day.
StellarTabi··on Reddit’s Female Dating Strategy offers women advice
I've never posted in that sub. You can prove it by auditing those deleted comment checkers. But, I just found out I was banned. You only get a ban PM message on reddit if you had a post/comment.

My guess why I was banned? I made one or two comments outside the sub promoting a non-toxic alternative called https://www.reddit.com/r/TwoXDating

StellarTabi··on Netflix original series no longer get time to breathe
This is the first I've heard of it, ive seen all of bojack but Netflix has instead been trying to force bigmouth down my throat and I don't want it. :(
StellarTabi··on Adult site leaks data of cam models
It is fine for adults. If it weren't for "online adult work" I'd have to degrade myself to being a waitress or working at McDonald's.
StellarTabi··on Language Learning with Netflix extension
I just mute until I've found what I want to watch :(
StellarTabi··on Ask HN: What tech choices make “new” Reddit so unbearably slow?
I would be done with reddit the day they ban third party apps, the new site (both mobile and desktop) are insanely slow and tedious to use.
StellarTabi··on Putting Victimhood Behind You
> In PC culture, victimhood is somewhat idealized

I don't even think this is true. It sounds like a strawman used to deny and vilify actual victims.

StellarTabi··on Serverless: slower and more expensive
They've already ruined React!
StellarTabi··on The Shocking Paper Predicting the End of Democracy
Perhaps I could interest you in anarcho-posadism?

At this point it's no longer conspiracy theories, it's just conspiracy shower thoughts.

That would be nice, but they come into normal subs with detached from reality troll comments and disturbing "opinions".
