Paywalled.

Australia had the perfect opportunity to do exactly what you are saying… And did not.

Not sure if serious, but there were a few other gigantic things going on during that time lol.

Stop conflating immigration with the problem, which was, is, and remains, housing speculation.

Again you completely miss the point. Can you not read? Here, I'll quote myself for you:

You think we’re saying immigration caused the housing crisis. We’re not. I’ve specifically told you that many times…….yet you still say that’s what we’re saying. You’re arguing in “bad faith” because you know you made a mistake but refuse to correct it.

Appropriate suspicion is cast upon any mod that’s too vague with their ban comments

One of the biggest issues here is, like reddit, most of the ban actions are shown as just being done by "mod", not giving the specific mod account that did it.

I'm talking about on your own machine. Obviously it's different if you're using a work-controlled machine that you don't control.

Defender, on your own machine that you control, never completely stops you from installing things. Seems you just don't know how to ignore the defender warnings lol.

It’s also a fscking mess to set up a Usenet downloader, especially since it’d be a bunch of buggy weird stuff ending with -arr in the names and web UIs.

It's really not. You pretty much need to just put in some api keys for your indexer, downloader, and provider, and away you go.

In Usenet messages are replicated over all services offering that newsgroup. I hope the downsides are clear.

What downsides are you talking about in regards to downloading content from usenet?

It's not like it's just some server in some persons house. They're hosted by companies on server farms that have guaranteed uptime figures and most have 2000+ day retention of data. I've been using it for 10+ years and have never had any server failure type issues.

Just an FYI - your phone is physically bigger than most current 6.3” screen phones like the iPhone 16 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro. The S25 is significantly smaller too.

I’d assume most people bothering to moderate, even on Reddit, intend to do a good job with every report, but being overworked forces people’s hand.

Nah, most people who become mods do it because they love the power that it gives them to be important and to silence anyone they disagree with.

You thinking you got banned from Reddit for criticizing trump or anything "GOP" is hilarious.

You can call BS, sure, but nothing happens other than the mods/admins just banning you as well and/or covering their tracks better. It's no better than reddit in actually preventing bullshit mod actions.

You’re the one who confused the issue though lol.

We want immigration paused until we can fix the housing crisis, as increasing the population by 400-500k+ per year while we have nowhere to even house a lot of the people already here is just making it worse. This is indisputable. More demand with same supply = higher prices and worse availability.

You think we’re saying immigration caused the housing crisis. We’re not. I’ve specifically told you that many times…….yet you still say that’s what we’re saying. You’re arguing in “bad faith” because you know you made a mistake but refuse to correct it.
