As the practice of Community Notes becomes more widespread, it seems likely that it will be infiltrated more and more by highly biased people.
It will simply end up being a microcosm of the very social media platform it's meant to control. People who used to have fights directly in the tweets will now have fights in the community notes system, no consensus will ever be reached on what the truth is, and thus community notes will end up being shown less and less over time, since they depend on consensus.
100% chaotic evil, no question. It's her whole schtick at this point. Appealing to racists and homophobes for engagement, constantly stirring shit...
She can be pretty fun, that's for sure. There may be an argument from utilitarianism that she does overall good by bringing attention to issues this way. But still, some of her tweets were bad enough for me to stop donating to Reduxx.
@thatbrickster I'd say the more the merrier. Having only two major families of web browser is a shitty situation. I guess Gecko will live on for quite a while anyway, but if it died, then I'd rather have both Ladybird and Servo as alternatives to WebKit, than only one of them.
By the way, isn't Apple likely to continue developing WebKit anyway? Or did Google and Apple both go with their own forks at some point? I forgot.
Consent is merely acceptance. It can be given begrudgingly, under negative circumstances. It implies absolutely no actual desire to do something. It doesn't mean the person will be happy about what happened.
It may be that the law should use consent as the criteria for what is acceptable. But this is only because legal codes should generally be more permissive than moral codes.
You don't want to invoke a powerful authority like the state for every disagreeable action. It's overkill. You want to reserve illegality for things that cross a fairly high threshold of immorality, where action on behalf of a powerful entity like law enforcement and the judicial system become desirable.
However, in our morals, we should strive for something better than consent. We should strive for mutual desire and genuine willingness.
If we foster the idea that consent is the be all, end all of acceptable treatment of others, there will naturally be people who are constantly pushing against the edge of what is legal. Every once in a while, they will cross it. But even if they don't cross that line, they will frequently be inflicting some pain, or at least discomfort, on others. Because they disregard genuine willingness. They disregard what the other person actually desires.
This applies to all human interaction. It applies tenfold to intimacy.
