No I really mean it. That's not a right that's, like, in the Constitution, but it's a principle of academic psychology and tech companies trample all over it. If it's just, like, which button design is better or what CDN makes the page load faster, it's mostly fine, but when they start asking questions like "what happens if we only show people the sad posts", it's really not fine.

I don't think people are blocking Lemmygrad because they think capitalism is the right tool for dealing with significant shifts in employment dynamics.
Rightists are weirdly good at sidling up to their terrible ideas by yelling "free speech" very loudly or whatever. And also they kind of just got here. My uninformed read on Lemmygrad is that they are more likely to come right out with whatever it is people don't like about them, and they've been on here long enough for that to upset the other instances.
You could probably do a Meetup clone; I think some stuff for that use case might exist already.
Friend finding would require some kind of matching engine, but what you are matching people on might be somewhat sensitive. You want to find all of the bronies without revealing that you are a brony yourself. So you can't just ship all the stuff to any instance that rolls up and says "hey I have ten thousand bronies in here, tell me all the bronies you have". You need some kind of fancy multi-party computation stuff to do distributed matching.
And then with dating you have the same problems but also your data is even more secret and your happiest users tend to immediately quit.
What about NodeCore?
It's on the "minetest" engine, but it's like, what if that flash game about combining elements to get hundreds of elements was also Minecraft and it was reputed to teach you Zen Buddhism.
Maybe just about how it is genuinely perfectly balanced with no exploits 🫖
Bethesda has really gone downhill since the acquisition. If it's not loaded with bugs, exploits, and glitches, is it even a Bethesda game anymore?
We seem to have skipped 6?
I think it will federate automatically if someone on one side tries to subscribe to or post on a community on the other side.
A lot of this sort of A/B testing has the character of a psychology experiment. If it were conducted by a reputable research lab, it would have to pass an instituational review board who would weigh in on whether it was an ethical experiment, and among other things research subjects would always have the right to decline to participate in the experiment.
But when private companies do it, nobody holds them to the same standard of ethics in their human experimentation. But clearly people's right not to be subject to psychological experiments without their consent is being violated.
Wow, that claims to be really fast on CPU actually. Why aren't people using this all the time instead of the annoying services?
Sounds like someone needs more day offs
