  • Every source has a bias, sometimes what is NOT reported is a stronger signal then what is reported.

    I pull news from multiple biased sources and stitch together my own view.

    The Economist (USA), BBC (UK), Reuters(UK), Al Jazerra (QAT) , CGTN (china), CNA (SGP) - Gives quite the picture of events, from multiple perspectives!

    Remember the Left-Right spectrum is only a very shallow view of the world, its multidimensional politics out there with many different incentives!


  • They could be tracking you by your phone number. Yes just the phone number, not an app on the phone.

    If you need to keep your current number, Port it to twilio, filter out all VoIP numbers, and then forward the call to your new phone number, or text message. And don’t text anybody back unless you know them.

    The phone number on your phone is like a social security number, with it people can find out basically everything about you. If they want to spend enough money. So don’t give it to anybody

    Check your vehicle, your purse, for tracking devices.

    If you don’t need to keep your current phone number, get a new phone number, don’t give it to anybody. Set up Google voice, and use the Google voice number for people to contact you. We mostly use apps nowadays anyway, so anything on Google voice is just going to be new contacts or maybe a doctor’s office. But if that number leaks somehow, it can’t be used to track your location.





  • (You’re linked post doesn’t address any of my points, and just repeat yourself, but okay fine)

    Okay, if I understand that post correctly, you want direct democracy to determine moderation in a community.

    How do you prevent brigading? What about a community talking about sensitive topics, like diet and exercise? Or vegan versus carnivore? One side’s going to have more people than the other, and they can moderate the other into silence?

    I think it’s an interesting experiment, just like craigslist used to do, or slashdot with metamoderation.

    If you build it, I’ll give it a shot
