  • I can understand that, but to me they are at least loosely linked. Poor tone clouds a good argument and often is an indicator of a discussion in bad faith.

    I will admit I have seen a handful of counter-examples over 3 years on Lemmy, where one or two commentors came out of the gate with an angry and accusatory stance, but both were able to reconcile with each other in later replies with cooler heads. I have more often seen much longer threads where flamebait begets a flamewar without going anywhere useful.

  • Clearly Mr. Carney needs to raise more revenue by taxing oil windfalls and the rich oligarchs, as that triggers National Post mouthbreather columnists and G&M Economist wannabes who think that deep deregulation is "fiscal prudence".

  • Unless those features are what attracts a far wider swath of people than before, I wouldn't be mad at it but I wouldn't join because I worry about the technical debt that will build up over time. Bugs will get reported, some fixes will be issued but unless the lead keeps a hard thumb on it, the code will become less and less coherent over time.

    My information is based on this portion of a CBC Rosemary Barton interview with Kinew on how they plan on implementing the social media ban.

    We're just going to simplify things. I think will help parents too, who are probably spending a lot of heartburn and stress trying to navigate these issues with their parents [sic]. If you know, maybe mom and dad don't have to be the bad guy, they could just point the finger at the Premier and say it's his fault - I'm happy if that helps the average family out there.

    And then just when it comes to implementation, we'll be working over the next few months with families and teachers in the province just to make sure we get the message out. To be absolutely clear, the accountability is not to be on the parents or the family or the kid. The accountability will rest on the big tech platforms. When it comes to parents and kids, our approach will be education. But when it comes to the accountability and living up to this ask, that's where we will be going to the big tech platforms, most of whom are American.

    So what he's saying doesn't necessarily preclude age verification, but the principal emphasis seems to be on normalizing social media free schools and homes than prescribing a verification policy. We'll see Saturday if it's anything more than that. I'll come back and say I'm wrong if such a ban comes with prescriptive age verification.

  • I think the NDP approach is the ideal one. We don't need to legislate a requirement for mass age tracking and surveillance, but we need to give parents and schools the appropriate tools and a legal reason to keep kids away from big tech, and penalties for companies that through dark patterns entice kids and teens to be addicted to their platform.

  • Yeah absolutely there's a lot of topics and subjective stuff where agreement to disagree can happen. Being capable of admitting wrong is different than readily admitting wrong at the first disagreement and I do not expect that, but there's a stubborn kind of tone that I can tell someone will not consider any contrary evidence, which lessens the need to continue the conversation.

  • I will defend someone who says something I don't agree with, if they're being respectful and willing to admit they are wrong or open to changing their mind.

    I won't defend someone saying something I think is right or I totally agree with, if they're being a jackass about it.

    I've seen threads where both things happen consecutively, and they both get downvoted anyway 😅.
