Yeah, but my point is most of the people here will actually argue in favor of it. Saying that it's the best and only way etc. you got to wonder where that came from

It is 100% the conversational equivalent, surely

We are watched. We are dictated to.

Moderated social media. Lemmy etc

It is deeply bad that a moderator can remove any post or reply. in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

It's a discussion of principle.

This is a foreign concept?

If you are saying nothing wrong then you have nothing to fear from moderation, right?

Google it. It's a system where you're watched all the time.

It's weird. The simple fact of being watched and told what you can say. And the possibility that what you're saying is being edited and what you're hearing is edited too.

This strikes me as abhorrent. But most of the people here call it necessary, preferable and even desirable.

Yes, I know, trolls etc. But such action turns any conversation into a bad joke. And anybody who trusts a moderator is a fool.

Find a better way.

Are they trying to split up Lemmy? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Divide and conquer.

So many people here are ready to fight at the slightest dissent. So ready to censor and ban.

It's unnatural.

Concentration is like a super-lobotomy. It removes the 99% of yourself that is interfering with what's important. (sh.itjust.works)

What does it feel like when you concentrate? (sh.itjust.works)
 

And stuff related to that. When you pay attention, focus... get so concentrated on something that you get sucked in...

What is that like? Can you describe it?

And in the opposite direction. What is it like to be distracted?

The weather is definitely changing. (sh.itjust.works)
 

8 years ago the spring weather was different. It drizzled almost every day. It was cloudy. Now we have these clear sunny days, big winds and scant rain.
