I don't know if this is more obvious to you than you let on but in case it's not, your software at first glance seems potentially harmful to children and is very clearly biased towards a conservative viewpoint.
It shouldn't be a suprise to end up with the user base you did when you are intentionally (or possibly unintentionally) biasing your filter the way you do.
With all due respect, the filter list reads like a list of things a drunk uncle would complain about at the family BBQ. I mean really chatGPT girlfriends???
To give some constructive criticism, I think you need to take a step back and decide if you are building a politically motivated tool or not. I want to be clear that what you have here is not representative of the moral status quo in the United States. It can be easily to think it is depending on the circles you frequent but it's statistically just not.
Consulting with someone to help eliminate politically bias in the filtering could go a long way to improve your potential customer base. Most parents I know would take one look at this and run.
In a very general sense I think your site feels too technical. Are people who can't control their children's computer usage really reading patch notes and switching website themes from a drop down?
Sorry if this sounds harsh. I originally intended to just write about the last point but after looking more into the site it became clear that there are bigger problems here.
Edit: As has been pointed out it's not so much about what you included as it is what you left out. You could potentially eliminate the bias just by balancing this list considerably. At what point do you just make an allow-list though lol?
The comments here so far seem to be jumping to conclusions. Commenters are being quick to defend the professor. I'm not sure that the full situation is being understood.
It seems there are three important points being overlooked.
- It seems that the phrase he said was not directly related to the course material.
- He was politely asked to stop saying it.
- He was likely not even pronouncing the phrase correctly and the correct pronunciation does is not easily confused with a racial slur.
> The students said some of them had voiced their concern to Patton during his lecture, but that he’d used the word in following class sections anyway. They also said they’d reached out to fellow Chinese students, who “confirmed that the pronunciation of this word is much different than what Professor Patton described in class. The word is most commonly used with a pause in between both syllables.”
This seems to me that there is an underlying problem/tension between this professor and his students who are people of color.
This happens to me a lot, but my use case is "watching" full music albums all day. Usually halfway through every other album it will pause and ask I'm "still watching".
I usually just use the media controls on my keyboard to un-pause it without actually clicking the modal.
I use Mastodon to get away from the negativity and hate speech on Twitter and Reddit.
In my experience, there has been a very minimal amount of hate speech on my timeline.
The nature of the decentralized, federated system does allow hate groups to easily gain a platform. However it's just as easy, if not easier to prevent their instance from communicating with yours.
It's very much NOT like the torrent analogy you made and a lot more in line with your Reddit analogy.
You can't prove a god is not real. You can though, prove that the Bible is not 100% historical fact as is claimed by a lot of mainstream religions.
So I would argue that you can prove a religion is false/incorrect by comparing the claims of it's holy book to the available historical records. If they don't match, I think we can agree that at least one set is false.
If this is something you're curious about I highly recommend the YouTube channel Strange Parts. One of their most popular videos features their host building an iPhone from parts sourced in the markets of Shenzhen.
So how does trademark work with a logo that is essentially made entirely out of CC artwork? Wouldn't another company be able to legally "steal" your logo in theory?
"Server attacks client" is pretty common with web browsers. Probably more common than the other way around. Much less common with Database clients of course.
