  • We should be able to have privacy without labouring at it.

    We shouldn't be excluded from normal society by being private. e.g. I should be able to.hire a plumber without using Meta software.

  • On the leftist side of Lemmy there is a pervasive theme of calling Europeans (and by extension white people in general) evil and how the only thing they’ve done is make the rest of the world suffer. And while the latter is plainly observable basically everywhere in the world

    It was only Britain, France, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Belgium.

    Calling it "the Europeans" is a fair shorthand I suppose, but remember the Greeks and Swedes didn't sail around the world killing natives for the craic.

  • I have one for this!

    I once asked someone "In school, who were you taught invented vaccination?"

    I thought she'd say Edward Jenner. In fact it was well-known in West Africa and the Ottoman Empire a century before Jenner (PDF)

    She said George Washington!

  • Different format of discussion.

    Social media: people trying to win binary points 👍👎

    Wikipedia, scientific discussion, or a deliberative assembly: slow process towards writing a statement of a position, with lots of study along the way

    Jump

  • People are trying to 'win the argument' for personal satisfaction. They're not trying to self-correct or seek the truth.

    I think I’ve only blocked a handful of people over a decade

    I'm the opposite; I have hundreds of people blocked, mostly because they are bores.

  • Maybe Siberian tigers are extinct in the range of the wolf?

  • How many wolves could kill a tiger?

    Jump

  • I think 5-7

    Tigers (all predators) are weak to non-frontal attacks. Wolves attack in groups. The tiger would kill 2-3 frontally, but suffer damage and blood-loss at its flanks and hindquarters. Then it becomes a matter of finishing the job.
