Replacing US tech with European one is the sole reason I just came back to Lemmy.

I don't like you guys on Lemmy but I condone the independence from US tech overlords.

Worked for me, might just be placebo though. I didn't literally smile before leaving the house. I just tried to guide my face into smiling a bit more than I was feeling, just enough to not feel like like I'm forcing it.

Startpage primarily because I was told that the Google results are better than DuckDuckGo but I never noticed any big difference except that Startpage has deactivated NSFW content by default. DuckDuckGo feels a little bit snappier and less cluttered tho.

he is not just deciding for himself, he is also deciding for others in this case. If he would have just blocked them, that would have been his choice. But he is also making a choice in others' stead. And that has nothing to do with freedom, the others can make a choice on their own. I feel like the term freedom of speech has been degenerated to a tool to push ones own agenda. People try to suppress other opinions, which leads to lack of discourse and radicalization.

Seems interesting, I'll definitely try that one out

must... CONSOOOM!!!

I think, that's an example of excessive moderation. While I understand that most people will not be interested in the content that capitalistic institutions provide, I think, censorship should only be supported, where it is absolutely necessary, eg: disturbing things, abuse and crime glorifying content. I also think that most people won't see their content, as they will not likely partake in car subs. And if they invade other subs comments, they can still be downvoted democratically, thus decreasing their visibility.

I just think, that excluding specific people that have not actually done anything wrong yet(at least on this platform) will lead to a homogeneous userbase. And even if he is not obliged to host anyone, I think it would be a way smarter decision if someone, who is aware of their danger, is hosting them. That person could later moderate their usage of their accounts, if they overstep certain limits way sooner than someone hosting them on another instance.

I don't think, that's a good idea, it just screams virtue signaling to me. Also it's pretty anti freedom of speech. This is just so childish, it's embarrassing.
