Huh you’re right. No idea how it ended up there.

Also ban evasion is easier if it does happen.

Be the change you want to see.

There weren open test servers though and sites with limited trials but no data limit.

That’s what I used back in the day. Sadly all these trial offers are gone now and demand credit card information upfront.

It’s a shame Usenet has become fully paid. It’s what ultimately pushed me into torrents. And the fact that small communities don’t have all the content out there for you to download via Usenet.

Yeah no was refering to the Meanwhileonthegrad or whatever it’s properly called. Not a fan of such far right communities being normalized.

Why would you link a post to such a vile community?

More of a “the bottom of the glass has cracks and is gonna leak any moment” person.

A first step would be to make a basis for your study an ideological interpretation of democracy.

You can quickly see if such studies are burger-eagle institute studies by looking at a few key examples. Compare Switzerland and Cuba. Some of the most democratic nations to have ever existed. Yet Cuba is always rated far worse because it’s in opposition to the cultural hegemony of the west. I.e. then a study uses a western definition of democracy that skews heavily in favour of some statistics while completely ignoring others. For example how democratic an economy is run is almost never any observed factor for democracy indexes. Then other things are weighted out of ideological bias, for example more parties = more democracy. Completely ignoring that party democracies are not the only form of democracy.

“Violence is wrong” mfers when the state executes someone. “Their violence is justified”

Take it with a pinch of salt.

It’s a politically biased study, not a neutral scientific study (Unscientific in its parameters for what constitutes a democracy). It’s another case of a burger-eagle institute study.

That is not to say that democracy is on a global decline. The study captures that but still it’s baseline is flawed.

Who is this us? Republicans and Democrats sure have the numbers in the US no matter against whomst.

Let’s hope things escalate in the US. Even if it seems highly unlikely.

Which country are Kagi servers hosted in?

Oh I meant specifically troll / disinformation bots in comments. Not automatic news posts or something.

And I guess it depends on what you define as a bot. Is a 50 cent army guy a bot if it’s still a human copy-pasting and writing disinformation?

Nah Lemmy has got bots too. I’m sure there’s instances without. But any general instance with any communities around news or politics will have bots.

Surely that means they’ll allow more apps onto their own app store with that, right? Right?

But but who will extract the remaining surplus value that the employers missed?
