There's actually upcoming #markdown specification, and it's much more useful as a cheat-sheet than any other documents I've seen so far:

Years ago on some Polish forum someone posted a rather unpolished but extremely funny story of his life that started "my old man is fishing fanatic".

Apparently now someone made a whole movie of it, and it's actually quite good - on top of the tragicomic story of fishing you get a typical 90's Polish mass housing scenery.

And it's on Netflix, so comes with English subtitles.

There aren't as the company is actively preventing them from being created.

@dajbelshaw The graph should be really a sine wave :)

@dump_stack

My view on the latter is pragmatic and kind of libertarian - every human forum has someone who is somehow responsible for it and they set the rules.

It's OK to dispute and challenge the rules, but there's always a moment where it just doesn't make any sense anymore and it's time to just leave and join a more friendly place, or start your own.

This is precisely how progress is made - if not that, there would be no Twitter, as everyone would be still on AOL :)

@dump_stack

Now, your case* doesn't fall under CIB in any way.

And kind of mine too, as I was just suspended from Twitter for 12h yesterday for ironically replying "yes, and 5G controlled vaccines" to a manipulative fan of homepathy after I was fed up with her evasions :)

Most of the cases of content moderation do not either fall under CIB and there are certainly much more shades of grey there.

> suppress opinions

The case of #facebook Coordinated Inauthentic Behavior is IMHO quite simple and morally unambiguous. If someone is creating fake personas on large scale and pretends them to be real people with some real views, then they are bastards and should be banned always and everywhere.

This type of manipulation exploits the very basic human behavioral instincts and simply is extremely deceitful.

Here I'm talking about CIB specifically.

12 out of 17 troll networks shut down recently by #facebook were run domestically in their respective countries by political parties, influencers and companies.

> If they had priced it at $10,000, I would have written them a check

If they're still "writing checks" out there then it's not surprising fiber optic is seen as something extremely novel and luxurious 😂

@dcid Very good points in the articles. I'm literally tired of explaining to my friends on Twitter (and formerly Facebook) that each time they repost Trump with an angry comment they only bump his engagement ratings and this is precisely why he does what he does - because it works.

> Trudno taki system zaprogramować na poziomie binarnym

Trudno ogarnąć taki proces człowiekowi w Polsce w 2021 wieku, natomiast jak pokazuje historia ludzkości kilkaset lat temu nawet koncepcja heliocentryczna była nie do ogarnięcia dla znacznej części populacji.

> Nie ma informacji bez autora

To jest banał, wynikający wyłącznie z przyjęcia określonej definicji pojęcia "informacja".

> mutacje u organizmów żywych znacznie częściej prowadzą do chorób niż wykształcania cech korzystnych

Pogląd, że ewolucja nie może być wynikiem przypadkowych mutacji w indywidualnych organizmach był jedną z podstawowych przyczyn konfliktów sowieckich genetyków ze zwolennikami Łysenki, którzy - na bazie "uniwersalnych praw historii" - uważali, że ewolucja ma charakter masowy i uporządkowany. Nie darmo Kołakowski nazywał ich religijnymi fanatykami.
