Yes of course.

But by what method or algorithm does this DECENTRALIZED SOCIAL MEDIA system protect us from propagandists and censors?

What is a method in THAT?

Distributed tagging and voting? The grace of our benevolent moderators? Something else?

I mean, combatting propaganda and censorship is the #1 issue here.

How do we protect ourselves from propagandists and censors? Large, small, popular and individual.

It’s a good point.

Sure

If we could do emotional memory transfer then we wouldn’t need movies anymore.

That’s pretty far from truth. It’s putting my trust in an authority.

I don’t know who stormtoss is. I took it you were saying that this comic artist was like stormtoss but not as bad. Then I offered that we skip all that and talk about the comic instead.

Clear?

I didn’t think my request was that far out but ok, I will watch it in the future.

so you would rather not address this point directly.

But to address your point.

To treat fiction and reality as equally real. And treat our responses to either as having equal substance. Seems deranged to me.

What’s a tortoise?

So you’re saying that this guy is a nazi and his comics are bad, to some noteworthy degree.

Any comment on his actual point here?

Wrong? I didn’t say anything about wrong.

I said they’re different. Worlds apart in fact.
