For me it's very simple: NSFW can't have a general acceptable definition because it depends on culture, background and personal beliefs. There is no way for a collection of communities to have a common definition and even if they would have: enforcement and interpretation is still done by volunteers.

Therefore All is never safe for work unless I know that my tolerance is lower than all communities within lemmy AND I'm fine with an accidental penis or breast due to human error.

I don't hate that much but I don't watch him because of the shady selling business hr often does and apparent sponsored content which is not always disclosed (been a while but his channel misrepresented graphics cards benchmarks for example).

It's like the British yellow press for me: his face alone is enough to discredit the quality of the source. Could it be good? Sure! Will I ever find out? Not anymore.

At least in Germany it's the same. It gets ignored in the discussions concerning nuclear exit but it's actually the main reason why I'm not aggressively against it: we have save areas for nuclear storage but those fight bitterly to not have it. The areas which are currently used are... Not good. Paying someone else (such as Finland) is out of budget for both state and energy companies. The latter anyway want to do the running but not the maintenance and the building, state should pay for that.

It's really white sad for me. The (true) statement that the dangerous waste needs to be stored carefully got corrupted to "it can't be stored".

On the one hand ... “Never make fun of someone if they mispronounce a word. It means they learned it by reading.”

On the other hand.. what else are friends there for?

Because a Ponzi scheme revolves around paying past people with fresh money without using it as promised at all.

Insurances (when fraudulent) collect money but don't pay out anyone unless forced by lawsuits. Ponzi schemes are s vers specific financial tactic.

See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponzi_scheme

The account isn't the issue in itself it's the data transfer that comes with accepting the agreement that comes with that account.

"Free" is straight wrong.

Who should do this vetting though? The internet was built up with the idea of technical neutrality - everything else came on top. TLDs came later and were used to either describe the origin of a page or its intended(!) use. That leads to the case that not only can a propaganda outlet mark itself as "info" - it's actually historically correct to do so as it's about what the host wants to communicate.

ICANN, the organisation behind the TLDs, actually always struggles with this btw. A more recent example was the decision which domain should be reserved for local name services. It took y long time (I think years overall) to get to: .internal (edited, brainfart)

Would you mind telling the source of this? Looks intuitively right but... So do so many things :/

Hm I was clearly wrong, I apologize! The excuse is that I was really tired and already quite "clickbait state of mind" ish.

Thank you for taking the time to write this! ♥
