Shorts are unintended low impedance paths.

it’s just an incredibly tiny amount

Indicates you are not describing a short.

Sure, there is technically current flowing, but it is small enough to be considered an open circuit for engineering purposes. There is leakage current for every insulator, we don’t call it a short.

The lowest donation in that tier is 240k, they could and are probably giving more.

This cat’s a juggalo fo sho.

Started on Jeroba, but Thunder just felt more intuitive.

If society collapses where is the gas for that thing coming from? Wouldn’t an electric car and some solar panels be an objectively better apocalypse vehicle?

That is the fanciest ping pong paddle satchel I’ve ever seen! It’s also the first.

Are you a cat?

Why do you think that? A cursory look at their post history seems pretty human to me.

Could you elaborate? My understanding of anarchism is the goal of eliminating government. That won’t eliminate an economic system that originated organically.

And price controls have a pretty terrible track record of providing a net benefit.

And instead we get politicians worse than VEEP. Ouch.

Plus, probably still required to do military service, only you get no armor and face knights in full plate who have trained their whole lives to kill you.

OMG yes! Harry Potter makes the best curry sauce!

Has this shown to be effective at stopping bots? It seems like you’d just be a few bad actors to ruin the system

I don’t think so. The main reason Facebook is so bad is it’s engagement algorithm. It is designed to maximize user engagement to sell adds, and it does that by putting outrage inspiring posts in front of users so that they have an emotional response and stay engaged. Using a human voting system instead of an outrage algorithm to determine what content people is exactly why I enjoy this platform over the other social media platforms.

Is there still rage bait here? Of course! Is it systematically shoved down your throat? No.

I was assuming you’d make an account with the ID for the govt instance and use anonymous accounts for all other browsing. At least that’s what I would do.

I’m not familiar with web of trust. What does that mean?

I believe there is existing precedent from SCOTUS that official government Twitter accounts were not allowed to block citizens accounts due to it being a ‘public square’. So that was a govt official taking the action of silencing someone’s ability to respond to them on social media protected by 1A. If the PLATFORM had blocked that user it would have been perfectly valid, since the GOVT did not silence a citizen’s speech.

I believe having the govt run the instance would make the entire forum subject to 1A in a way current social media is not. Would love a constitutional scholar to chime in, but that’s my argument.

I also don’t get the impression there is a large bot presence here today. I do think if the platform was used as a normal communication network between constituient and representative it would probably become a target for foreign and domestic bots.

Onewheels are so much fun.
