DE-PLATFORMING MUSIC CONSUMPTION

Streaming music sucks, but it’s also so convenient and ubiquitous. Having access to music streaming means that any song I want from any era is constantly available.   

What that really means, though, is that choice paralysis freezes me from making any new choices—I effectively spin the same 10 records most of the time.   

A lot of my friends have tried to get off streaming […]

*clean freedoms*

A little while back I was thinking about freedom of speech in the shower. I'm reasonably certain I washed my hair twice.

I eyed the shampoo bottle and it seemed undisturbed. So, I grabbed it up and began the procedure. In between thoughts of State #censorship and private #deplatforming I began to realize that it was feeling like I had undergone the shampooing *very* recently.

🧠 Deplatforming feels clean but behaves dirty. Ban a community and it doesn’t vanish, it reappears elsewhere, hotter and less supervised. Members stay co active, carrying norms back upstream. Data shows toxicity and rule breaking don’t dissipate, they compound. Moderation leaks through people. Spillover is often designed, rewarded, and structural, not just behavioral.

#deplatforming

Someone on my feed was complaining about being kicked off a mastodon server for "no apparent reason". I took one look at his profile and it was abundantly clear why. Anyone want to guess?

The worst side effect of deplatforming degenerates simply for their moral depravity (and I am not disputing their turpitude whatsoever) is that by simply walling off toxic ideas, no one has ever directly refuted any of them, emphasis on the refutation. Someone actually needs to tell these freaks that they are intellectual simpletons, and expose their arguments as mere baloney.
