Rather then step in as arbiters of truth, they should provide tools, links and APIs to let their users decide what is true and what is misinformation. If their users express some concensus, like 90%+ of real human users, then I think they're right to demote or provide warning labels on particular links.
My point is that this information is typically not verifiable in an independent sense. This get essentially to what is truth, the truth we should all agree is the truth no matter who's providing it to us. We can verify it for ourselves. As an example, if we have 14 videos of the same incident and they show roughly the same events then we can be fairly confident that that event occured because we trust that those 14 sources are real and non-colluding.
If the information is verifiably false, it doesn't matter who proves it.
Is there some guarantee on that swearing bit?
It was created more for specialization than to split the community. As others have pointed out, anonymity is a particular kind of privacy. There's no exclusivity. You can be in both.
Though it's hard to know the effect of another sub, Privacy is one of the largest subs here so seems one of the most likely to be able to survive an offshoot.
It is not an issue of cost, but of the email address catch22. A new identity has no email and doesn't .ml require that for registration?
Does this not require a domain name?
Right. It's not just about the question but looking a little deeper to get to what it means to have a free culture. What's required. What would be done differently. This was just a specific challenge that made sense to step back a little from. If there's a principle it should be honesty about why identifying information is required and looking for alternatives.
It's fine. Email is not the most important thing in the world. Writefreely and lemmy are probably enough to start but I still have leads.
For some reason it won't load a temporary email over Tor, which I'm going to insist on since there's no rush.
I support ending the federal tracking app requirement for re-entry into Canada but vaccine mandates are more complex. In the long term I suspect human bodies are going to need shots to be able to withstand whatever biotech might produce. Vaccines are useful human technology that require coordination for maximum effect, but I believe that coordination should come through education, certainly not violence. Whether denial of employment would count as force is an open question.

It's a matter of time. Just like with software, you have to have a bias toward open source, freedom respecting objects and support them with your cash.
