I can only speak for myself, but in general, I aim to be transparent as a mod, but this doesn't mean that I always get it right
So far, more than once, upon reconsideration of a case, I've reversed a mod action that I've taken (and have openly said so)
Also, so far, more than once, I've said to users that they should feel free to write to the admins to object to a mod action/decision that I've taken
And just to say it again, the great majority of my actions as mod have been based on flagged posts (including, by the way, my action in this thread)
Impossible. I learned here (a while ago) that DuckDuckGo is the way to go/search and that it's THE trustworthy search engine.
I didn't believe it but gladly I was led to the light.
Soon: "Google isn't all that nice", followed by "twitter might be not totally open to free speech".
@angstrom
FWIW I do like your moderation and I think it's needed.
Because it so happens to hide the war crimes that you are so proud of.
So much for your capability to think rationally ...
In fact I do not even know about @angstrom "hiding war crimes" "I'm so proud of" (allegedly) because I hardly ever even look into that smelly hate thread.
The real reason I like angstrom's moderation is that he reigns in somewhat on politicizing almost every thread and on woke, often hate-driven attacks and that he seems to have and use a working brain.
Guys, I understand that not everyone will agree with where I draw the line, and we could argue about this particular case at length, but let's try to move on if we can
I'm not trying to suppress discussion about the strengths and weaknesses of various search engines (even if the topic of this thread is nominally narrower than this), but once the war situation is imported into a thread, things (can) escalate quickly. Which I can understand emotionally -- I'm not trying to deny that each of us has strong feelings one way or another about the war
(And as you all know, there's a dedicated, still-tolerated, Offtopic thread about the war)
If @jsg likes the moderation, you know this place has gone to shit.
WREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Nice dp
Shoryuken?
ok
No dp?
Searx was designed for searching and avoiding those search engine trackers
https://searx.github.io/searx/
Browsers I would say is all compromised these days in some aspect. Mozilla by default allows a lot of trackers, you need extensions and about:config modifications. Which they keep removing.
Chromium is made by Google.
Everything else is derivative of above.
If you're using Windows 8 and above or an Android phone I don't even why these threads get started.
Edward Snowden (refugee in Russia) and Julian Assange (political prisoner in UK's equivalent of Guantanamo) showed us that all our internet and phone activities are being monitored and recorded by our own so called democratic regimes and private corporate interests outside democratic/peoples control.
You didn't pay much attention, it seems.
