Discord is just another social media site that has a whole lot of people fooled into thinking it's not creating profiles on them for advertising. Gonna get real obvious real soon though.

I guess thats OK for community dev teams and stuff - like it works well, users can come and accesa the faq or support and leave. But it can leave a walled garden of data in there if they want to move elsewhere later though.

Larger issue is the people that share their whole lives there as a quasi-Facebook. That's all getting hoovered up and sold to the highest bidder - alongside data like exactly what activity you do on your PC (processes running when and where for how long etc - Discord monitors a lot)

Better though because you don't need an account, and can gain a lot of anonymity via an eggdrop or vpshell etc.

I mean the section you list 'reception' lists some vagueries about how it's been recieved (positively and negatively) in various countries but it's certainly not shouting out that it's unreliable.

Likewise the controversies section below has three relatively minor events over its entire history.

Hardly seems like a smoking gun..

How?

Change takes time and they've been anti-gay for a very, very long time. No sane person thinks a single pope solved all the centuries of repression in 10 years.

What I do know is that the conservative Catholics I personally know thought Pope Francis was "too liberal" and "just saying woke things because that's what young people like nowadays" and those are both endorsements to my ears.

Especially his attitude on climate change and income inequality and tax avoidance by the wealthy - there is a lot of that in conservative church groups and if their God's PR representative is telling them to cut that shit out and look after the environment better then great.

Definitely the 'least bad' pope of my lifetime. Let's hope the next one continues the progressive stance he adopted on many aspects of life.

This doomer shit is worse than useless - it encourages apathy and inaction.

She was eight. Their callous stone-headed defiance against giving a safe and effective vaccine to their children killed their otherwise entirely healthy eight year old girl, who had friends and dreams and goals and a favourite colour.

Sadistic, unrepentant morons.

And now they're basking in the limelight with the celebrity-cum-Health-czar?

I can confidentltly say this sideshow would occur in no other western nation. America is sliding backwards so fast its an avalanche.

Skipped: 0. Did not vaccinate their child against the most common and deadly childhood infectious disease (measles), for which a free and highly effective vaccine is available and offered.

The narcissist in cheif will just blame the Chinese, and they'll agree because it's less painful than facing that they did it to themselves.

It takes a lot of daily reinforcement to deprogram/unbrainwash people, so I don't think it'll happen fast unfortunately.

Nah, he's run out of feet to shoot - next shot is aimed for the groin.

I do wish we could fast forward to the part where he Hitlers himself in a bunker.
