Reddit mods have a habit of blocking/censoring views they don't agree with, (mainly all on one side, consistent with their ideology). That doesn't mean it applies to every subreddit, but if it weren't a widespread problem do you really think anybody would be talking about it?
Lookup "mastodon". It's decentralized meaning there are multiple instances (copies) of it run by different people each with their own code of conduct & rules regarding what kind of content is allowed. You can find one you like, or host your own. by default each instance can see the others unless they're specifically blocked, & you can follow people from other instances & see their posts or "toots" (yes that's really what they're called.)
That would be waste to remain healthy enough to live to 100, then kill yourself. Mental health is a part of living that long in the first place. Anybody who has the mentality that they'll just kill themselves once they reach that age, probably won't live that long anyway.
1. Don't automatically click on short links. There are plenty of url expanders online that you can copy & paste the link into that will tell you where the link goes. 2. Be very carefully clicking on links you don't already trust. That doesn't mean they are all malicious, most aren't. Just use your judgement. 3. Use https whenever possible. Things like banking sites & anything your are entering your banking info into or social security number etc; should always use https, no exceptions. Otherwise it's possible for hackers to monitor your traffic & steal your info. Look for the "https everywhere" extension. It's available on Chrome & Firefox & maybe others. 4. Watch the end of the url (the .com, .org, etc;). They're called Top level domains (TLDs for short). Government sites will always end in .gov, Military is .mil .org is generally organizations, .biz is for businesses .com or .net can be pretty much anything else. Two letter TLDs are generally for countries, .us is The US for example. There are also special ones like .bike for bike shops. There used to be a whitehouse(.com) that targeted people who didn't realize it should be .gov & when they clicked on it, they were redirected to a bunch of malicious sites that downloaded & installed malware without their knowledge. 5. If possible avoid using sites like banking sites in coffee shops/restaurants or anywhere else where you don't know you can trust the wifi connection like at home. Hackers sometimes create fake (but working) wifi networks hoping people will connect to them thinking they are the one setup by the business & when people connect them they can see everything users do & steal any data they send like login info for websites they visit. If you must use them there at least use something like tor to hide & secure your traffic from potential hackers.
I would've never guessed Brazil (or any country for that matter) would be like that. I guess I can see why if medics depend on that for their income, but I certainly would've never guessed they would act so aggressive about it. It seems like there should be some other way for them to make enough money. There should be somebody who's specialty is optometry. Do you have specialists for other things like a heart doctor, or cancer doctor?
This is why I don't & never will have a reddit account. I have heard the mods are very quick to ban people & even whole subreddits for ridiculous reasons. That & security reasons. It's astonishing how much personal information becomes available from being on reddit. See www.redective.com.
To see how this would turn out, just watch "person of interest". The question is whether this "god" will be the machine or samaritan. My fear is that it would be more like samaritan.
Some of the problems mentioned in the article could already be solved with gmail. To find out who sent you an email, append a "+[keyword]" & use that email to signup for a service. If you only use 1 site per keyword you will know which site sent it. Unfortunately that doesn't work for sending on email though.
It differs from mastodon because it's on the blockchain & mastodon isn't. The problem is I don't see why that's better. Being on the blockchain also means a (less than a penny) processing fee, just as a standard BTC/BCH transaction, paid by you, so you're paying to post. The one advantage to that is users could potentially tip each other. Google, Twitter, & Facebook are proof that people don't like having to pay to use something if there's a free alternative. Plus it means having to have BCH which most people don't understand.
