I don't know about your DNS provider farming queries through your search engine (I guess by fetching the content of the visible results?) but I do know that if you have search suggestions on then everything you type is sent to your search engine and recorded before you even hit enter.

Supposedly DuckDuckGo doesn't retain this data but I've been out of the loop so that may have changed at some point. I've heard conflicting stories about their privacy and I haven't dug into it yet.

For DNS providers though you can check out these: https://www.privacyguides.org/en/dns/#recommended-providers

I find it amusing how often these groups say "No bigotry" in their rules, but make the exception whenever it fits their beliefs. Almost like it's virtue signalling or something.

Not to mention the predictable "No *phobia". Which in of itself is intolerance of other views.

I figured it out. I had a capital letter in the URL name.

Also no banner or icons were necessary which is nice.

Thank you for the idea.

In both the name and the display name boxes it was just the word "Discussions". It's possible I left a space at the end so I'll give it another shot.

Also I did put in a banner and icon placeholder till I figure a real one out, but is that also a requirement to create?

I like the maturity and levelheadedness here.

I've never seen such consistent respect during disagreements before. Sure one or two occasional ones on reddit, or maybe even discord groups. But here it seems commonplace.

It could be that we're still small, but I hope the culture continues to be good.

It might not be wise to dig up deleted comments. It's no spez editing comments, but it does seem wrong in a way.

Tbf everything on the internet is saved somewhere. But people will feel less comfortable talking about what they honestly think if they think their wishes to be forgotten aren't being respected by the mods themselves.

Star Trek: Picard was a masterpiece.

Not the usual star trek style, I get it. And the third season had plot holes galore.

But the first and second seasons were the chefs kiss.

Np, thanks for understanding

Essentially giving out tickets for jaywalking when there's a robbery going down a few feet away.

It means I'm an idiot. Haha

I meant to say something along the lines of

"People who prioritize hunting down artists and those who download art are prolonging the real abuse and sexual exploitation of actual children." That's not to say it's an active effort to, but it's a result of misappropriating effort.

I just woke up when I wrote that and am still tired so sorry for the typos and wording.

Pretty much this. Though I tend to be more into the giantess thing. Shota is kind of a turnoff for me but size difference is 👌

I have to say I 100% agree with you.

I'm not even into loli/shota. Milf content is my thing. But I'm very dedicated to the idea of truth. And the truth is that loli/shota content is way overblown.

If evidence ever comes out that it does harm children then I'll charge against it, but so far it has as much evidence for that as the video games cause violence thing. And actually a good amount of evidence supporting the opposite. It helps reduce the amount of actual harm by providing an outlet. An outlet that harms no one.

Free speech is another thing I passionately care for. Without it we may as well stick our heads in the sand whenever someone we disagree with comes along, which seems to be the case with a lot of the reddit migrants.

We as a society or people never progress or learn by cutting off communication and discussion, but instead by throwing ideas and beliefs into a gladiatorial ring of scrutiny where the fallacies and lies get shredded to reveal the underlying truth.

As the quote goes "If we collapsed as a civilization, our gods, our beliefs would all disappear and change, but physics and mathematics would be rediscovered and would be the same." - My butchering of a quote I don't remember the origin.

The DMCA thing made me actually laugh, lol.

I got kinda bummed that someone over at the exploding-heads instance was spreading bullshit about that.

Denmark has no laws restricting loli art. Why? Because after all their studies and research they failed to prove it could actually harm real children. We're finding similar stuff in the U.S.

Even showing a clear case that it helps reduce child harm.

People that prioritize drawings over art are really hurting actual victims here.

Most arguments are based on belief rather than facts. We rarely do the research and testing ourselves and instead just trust whomever we already agree with and is considered an expert.

Problem is that's on all sides of the political spectrum. Everyone thinks their experts are right and everyone else is crazy or deluded.

The way to resolve this and find out what's actually true isn't by shutting down what one disagrees with, but by engaging in debates and discussion with each other, and pointing out the holes in each other's reasoning and tests.

I think Seal might work for you.

I don't think it goes as elaborate as the above post, but it works on every site yt-dlp does.

Ah, that's smart

I definitely agree.

Sure, np.

People rarely know what the paradox of tolerance really is and just use it as a cudgel to shut down any argument they disagree with.

The creator of the idea himself said

"I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be most unwise.

But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument"
