like, soon after the printing press and widespread availability of bibles

things actually became much worse

for a short period of time

ppl went around burning witches based on certain phrases, that which was previously ignored by priests

that's fair I guess.

similarly, we're in a constant weekly witchunt

constant cycle of offense followed by apologoy and firing

soon, ppl would get tired of it

justs like the witchhunts of the past

or not..

because tech seems to keep disrupting

thus my concern

we need a digital bill of rights. Do that, and we're PROBABLY safe from an explosion of digital censorship?

maybe we're at a stage of constant turbulence

also possible.

just when we think the distruption of certain spheres by tech is settling

they're already coming up with the next ones

true. Hm.

Well, I'm about ready to abandon most digital media entirely.

this is frankly getting rediculous

like what ?

news ?

mainly discord (controlled environment, not an open town square like twitter) and SOME gaming

Twitter isn't a very open town square imo

I just get banned and called a bot all day

Last time was my 30th account

But Everyone should go on a media free camping trip every month or so

i'm on twitter

I follow a very select group of people and publications

its good

nobody who "outrages"

wow you're either lucky or skilled in navigating that mess...

@Vannevariable just avoid the mess

don't follow people who have zero nuance

and like to get social currency by outraging

or virtue signalling

*1:00 for Bolsonaro to take office here in Brazil*
I'm going to post links to YT Livestreams of the event when it starts at 14:30 Brasilia time.

This will be a very different event when compared to the previous ones, this time there will be no shows nor anything of the sorts for security reasons and the airspace has been closed to all unauthorized aircraft within a radius of 49km around the area of the event, there are even AA missile platforms in position around the perimeter and fighter jets will be doing air patrols over the region.
The reason for all of this is because there have been several threats posted online, including by a group that placed a bomb in front of a church on december 24, but the bomb failed and the police disarmed it, the same group that claimed to be the authors have said that they were planning to put a bomb on the inauguration of Bolsonaro, also there have been threats made by jihadist groups to attack his inauguration because he said he is going to move the brazillian embassy to on Israel to Jerusalem.
Also, the Israely PM is visiting Brazil at this moment.

O.o

seems rather extreme, the guy comes over as a bigoted arsehole though.
