  • I am not sure what you mean.

    I am taking a wild assumption of a guess by saying you probably mean where in the parts of lemmy where you can say what you want without criticism?

    If so, good luck with that. There’s always going to be people who’ll take offense to what you say, have downvoting parades, bring up post histories and other shit. There is no single social media platform that can handle spicy unpopular opinions, even, without many people taking offense to it.





  • Information is about as rapid as money exchanges. There’s so much going around because News is 24/7 and there’s so many outlets that it will burn out anyone’s minds trying to follow it all. It was like with the Hong Kong protests, it got traction for a while, then something else happened and it was dropped within weeks.

    And we have all of these wikis in existence where the legitimacy of the articles written, are constantly challenged through the edits of those that believe differently in how it should be written to the reliable sources conflicting with those beliefs.

    And we have generations of people who do not remember the time of certain events as they’ve happened where previous generations did. So it can be harder for someone who wasn’t born around the time of Pearl Harbor and WWII to relate and take in information as opposed to the one who actually lived it.

    Then we take into account of instances of history being re-written by revisionists, some sections of history is white-washed, censored, redacted .etc

    Top it all off with how incredulous and sensationalist projections the media reports that just shits all over it.

    And we have ourselves one big, informational train-wreck where almost nobody knows what to believe. So what most people do anymore is if a news report aligns with their beliefs, they’re going to take it at face value.











  • A lot of horror movie franchises would get retcon or some installments would outright be axed.

    Friday the 13th would not need to go on for 10 movies. Get rid of Parts 9, 3, 5, X and 8. This is now going to be a compressed, coherent movie series of 5 movies where we attempt to establish a better comprehensible story involving Jason. Kane Hodder is the staple actor of Jason.

    Nightmare on Elm Street, going to cut out Parts 6, 5, 2, and 4. Compress and re-write the story while retaining elements of selected pieces to build off from. The remake will not have ever happened. Freddy vs Jason would still happen but it would be involving the original creators of both Nightmare on Elm St and Friday the 13th and Kane Hodder will star as Jason. No cop out ending like the original version got, but the victor would not only be decided by final battle but also body count.

    Halloween, take out 3, 4, H20, 2, 5, Resurrection and all of the Rob Zombie directed ones. Retcon.

    Scream, that movie series feels more like a trilogy movie so that’s what it is going to be instead of all of these unnecessary installments.

    Final Destination, same thing.

    Saw, same thing as I felt the series ended beautifully with three movies but went entirely off the rails in later installments.

    Puppet Master, I would honestly keep to 5, get rid of all of the ones where they focused too much on the Nazi stuff and the clash they had with Demonic Toys.

    Leprechaun, just get rid of the ones where he entangles with the Hood and obviously the space one and max the series out at 2 films.

    Hellraiser, keep it to two movies.


  • Obviously it is concerning. We have just been given a window of a glimpse as to what would happen if one service in which so many things rely on, gets messed up. Like today I was having trouble logging into my bank because guess what, they rely on CloudFlare.

    I’ve read individuals relying on services provided by CloudFlare, their processes were interrupted.

    I know that CloudFlare has a purpose and its purpose is being served, but there’s a reason why people love and should embrace the idea of multiple alternatives and hate monopolies.

    It would be like, if Comcast as an ISP has a blackout, do you know how many subscribers they have? Some people in certain areas are all that they have so the blackout would knock them offline for however long. That’s why alternatives are important.
