I find them online and use javascript to rip them into a text file and use @Voice premium on android to read/listen to the text files. I got the premium @Voice because I didn’t realize how much of a staple having an app that can read most types of files was going to be.

Absolutely, we might have to deal with the sheer terror of alternative viewpoints. It’s like wearing a raincoat in the desert – better safe than sorry, right?"

He would have never guessed that I was at lemmy.world first. lol, probably would have broke his brainwashing to acknowledge another user as a human being he would have to consider the opinion of. Just pretend everyone’s out to get you for reasons other people made up for you. Back to sleep little one.

No need to waste energy making a real point then, lol people here just make shit up and then posture as if it makes them right somehow. Look, I’m doing it! No need to actually have any basis for my opinion that no one asked for! :D damn Armok: God of Blood HOW DID I NOT THINK OF THIS BEFORE!?! Lol wait, accidentally asked you to think critically. lol. My bad, carry on.

What chain of logic lead you to that conclusion?

Yep, when I get sick of the rhetoric here I just jump over to hexbear where they make fun of the people I tend to disagree with frequently here. ^. I think the best moderation tools would be to attempt to decentralize it so the petty tyrants the role seems to attract can’t abuse their authority to censor opinions they don’t agree with regardless of whether or not the content actually conflicts with the rules.

The principles are a solid foundation but can be taken for granted depending on income or association. The community is spurred from the principles but still has entitled participants :/ Interesting exercise

CBS News/YouGov poll

It’s like if Facebook, Reddit, and Twitter all had the capacity to import content from each other. Then add in that most of the Fediverse’s "facebook, twitter, and reddit"s aren’t run by centralized institutions. You can sign up for an account with any of them, but the administration of the one your account is on gets to decide which other sites content it wants to import. If you don’t like the way the admins are deciding on content in one, you can again start your own or just hop to another one. The Lemmy instances are forum like in nature similar to reddit, Mastodon instances are like twitter.

No one wants to come to terms easily either. Most people seem to think you’re attacking their beliefs, even when asking really basic questions.

are just interested in Twitter news.

From the way I’m interpreting that… shouldn’t that demand for ‘just twitter news’ lead to a new community for that specifically? Like if it’s really that interesting to enough people, wouldn’t that be the better outcome?

Better ban school too. I hear that’s how kids find drug dealers.

Yep, it’s an easy fix. There’s better ways to get information about events that matter to you than corporate sponsored fear-mongering… I mean “the news.”

It’s not robots though, it’s math. Which, from having gone to public school… generally translates to “magic” <insert hand waving> to most people.

wat?

Alternatively, if you like it to be set to your subscriptions and sorted by ‘Hot’ just set those settings up and then create a bookmark and it will always take you back to the page with current content and your selected settings.

Why I haven’t delved back into any persistent self-hosting yet.

Don’t forget the VERY innovative and generous 500 character limit they’re enforcing. Wow. So much characters.

This one dockers.

Yes. I would like this info as well if anyone has it ^.
