Several of these platforms used bots and/or multiple staff accounts to inflate user count/engagement to draw more people in and trigger the network effect.

The dev has in the past taken steps away, but comes back when needed. And despite not being updated in a hot sec it’s still still the best mobile app IMHO.

You don’t want it to be hot enough to soften your frames though.

Doesn’t that strip any anti-glare or other coating your glasses may have? I’ve always been told dish soap without additives (aloe etc.) under warm water (not hot enough to soften your frames) is your best bet to remove dirt and oils.

It’s simple. Consumer watch dogs are bad for exploitive profiteering. Musk is dismantling anyone with any oversight of his companies.

Edit And the reason given for all of it is fraud and bloat, and no evidence supplied and they’ll backtrack on every statement.

Wipe them on my shirt, and dish soap when required. No microfiber cloth.

Exactly, and you saw a lot more antifa folks showing up during the BLM protests because they were countering the Proud Boys and other chuds. Since a lot of top ranking Proud Boys went away for J6, and BLM protests have stopped we haven’t seen antifa in the streets is all.

I don’t think it’s always a difficult task to tell if someone is arguing in bad faith or not, and someone basing their argument on incorrect information is not that (and I assume you know that). So trying to say that I see a mere disagreement on a topic the same as one made in bad faith sounds like you’re trying to conflate the two, making it a bad faith argument.

But if pretending a ‘difference of opinion = bad faith argument’ is what you’re looking for I guess good luck. That is what I would call a “circle jerk”, but to each their own. Not sure how that type of discussion with no basis in reality can help anyone to “learn and grow” though.

The issue is that you can’t have discussion or debate with:

1. statements in bad faith
2. statements not based on reality (conspiracy theories/misinformation/“alternative facts”

So the issue is once you have removed those, you aren’t left with many people holding a very broad spectrum of viewpoints outside of niche topics (Vi vs Emacs).

I think you are going to have a hard time finding a place to talk with a group that overall deals in bad faith arguments and hate speech. They also tend to silo themselves off to their own platforms over concerns that their hate speech gets them moderated (because Free Speech != does not mean speech without consequences or needs to be tolerated by everyone).

If you really want to see the MAGA “point of view” you are probably better off going to them on Truth Social, Gab, 4chan, The_Donald, etc.
