The mainstream is not a monolith

2018-09-07 01:35:15 UTC  

I'm arguing with a brick wall.

2018-09-07 01:35:29 UTC  

Just tell me YOU PLAN.

2018-09-07 01:35:35 UTC  

quit spinning around.

2018-09-07 01:35:42 UTC  

Either admit my point or give a proposal.

2018-09-07 01:35:48 UTC  

No, you've just built up a plethora of assumptions, and are just nuh uh-ing every aspect

2018-09-07 01:35:53 UTC  

We fight over this for hours and you never address my points.

2018-09-07 01:35:58 UTC  

Which is what you've done every time

2018-09-07 01:36:07 UTC  

THAT'S WHAT YOUR DOING!

2018-09-07 01:36:09 UTC  

Is tim tam the jim jam a lizard? why he have trouble pronouncing basic words?

2018-09-07 01:36:13 UTC  

Just give me you plan!

2018-09-07 01:36:20 UTC  

The sites are not going to survive lol

2018-09-07 01:36:22 UTC  

Type up what you propose to do instead.

2018-09-07 01:36:33 UTC  

Stop using them, encourage others to stop using them

2018-09-07 01:36:42 UTC  

Amplify every mistake they make

2018-09-07 01:36:43 UTC  

Except that's not how it works.

2018-09-07 01:36:44 UTC  

There are plenty

2018-09-07 01:36:49 UTC  

People aren't leaving social media.

2018-09-07 01:36:52 UTC  

It's too ingrained.

2018-09-07 01:37:03 UTC  

>no site has ever died. People have never left websites

2018-09-07 01:37:17 UTC  

No, they move from one to another.

2018-09-07 01:37:22 UTC  

But the alternatives aren't much better.

2018-09-07 01:37:35 UTC  

Leave Tinder for Bumble.

2018-09-07 01:37:42 UTC  

One of these bans anyone with a picture of a gun.

2018-09-07 01:37:53 UTC  

One of these is more social justice than the other.

2018-09-07 01:38:05 UTC  

One of these is much more likely to kick you for being on this discord.

2018-09-07 01:38:24 UTC  

You do nothing but say "it's all going to just die" and never give a reason why.

2018-09-07 01:38:42 UTC  

And then you "nuh-uh" me whenever I tell you *exactly* why this needs to be addressed.

2018-09-07 01:38:45 UTC  

That's fine. It's not up to us to police which stupid alternative people pick

2018-09-07 01:38:49 UTC  

And when I give more reasons you repeat yourself.

2018-09-07 01:39:02 UTC  

Then get silenced.

2018-09-07 01:39:19 UTC  

No, you assert that it needs to be addressed because you're placing undue emphasis on fucking twitter

2018-09-07 01:39:27 UTC  

And its role in society

2018-09-07 01:40:44 UTC  

No, I'm asserting that the social media giants are starting to gain absolute control and it needs to be opposed.

2018-09-07 01:41:23 UTC  

And as Europe and the Democrats are going to regulate it and via a cooperation of government and corporate power silence any opposition now and in the future, the only plausible solution is to preemptively regulate.

2018-09-07 01:41:41 UTC  

And things only get worse as freedom of speech becomes a paper tiger.

2018-09-07 01:42:01 UTC  

You're just saying "it's all going to die and deserves to die anyway, lol" Which isn't addressing anything.

2018-09-07 01:42:28 UTC  

Like how people will always seek social connections and will, and have, always found them. And as long as the internet exists, they will form social media giants.

2018-09-07 01:42:35 UTC  

Preemptive regulation doesn't stop Europe from regulating

2018-09-07 01:42:46 UTC  

No, but it does prevent it from coming over here.

2018-09-07 01:42:59 UTC  

And it's not entirely preemptive either. Europe has already done it in parts.
