  • Tokyo Ghoul first season is amazing, after that it gets progressively more unwatchable IMO, but if you have the time it’s okay.

    Here are some of my favorites, excluding the ones we already talked about: Cyberpunk Edgerunners, Black Lagoon, Golden Kamuy, Your Lie in April, Kill La Kill, Ergo Proxy, Cowboy Bebop

    And I know what you mean, all of these you should be in the right mood for, otherwise it would be a waste.

    These are also nice: Trigun (everything except Stampede), Claymore, Eureka 7, Last Exile, Gangsta, Jormungand, Gargantia On The Verduous Planet, Dagashi Kashi, Gun Grave, No Guns No Life, Outlaw Star, Michiko & Hatchin, Dimension W, Violet Evergarden, Hellsing Ultimate, Space Dandy

    Most of these are adventure/action/scifi/postapocalyptic, crews of people/outlaws often on ships or space ships. That is my thing.


  • I’d say if you are unfairly depriving someone of an audience that would have wanted to listen to you.

    Individually blocking someone you don’t personally want to hear from obviously isn’t censorship.

    But if you have a monopoly on a platform and block everyone who would be interested in listening to someone, just because of your personal preferences, that is censorship.

    But if virtually no one wants to listen to something and you block it, I would argue that’s not censorship. E.g. no one should has to listen to spam or look at porn.

    Of course those lines are blurry, but so is all of moral judgement.

    It’s more clear cut if you ‘unrightfully’ ban someone from YouTube, since it’s a monopoly. Banning someone from lemmy.world who would have had an audience there is trickier, since ideally this would eventually lead to them and their audience moving to an instance where they are welcome.

    That’s why you would want your government to protect speech, since it is the biggest and most powerful monopoly. But in my opinion the same should extend to any large institution, like social media.

    And I’m talking about censorship as a moral judgement free term, since I would argue there is some good censorship. E.g. banning CSM. I don’t think it makes sense to call it anything other than it is.









  • I had the most surreal moments of clairvoyance. I felt this gigantic feeling of dread coming over me for no reason, that never happens to me and 1 sec later I got an Email I’d been dreading for some time. Happened to me twice now.

    Perhaps my brain has learned to read wifi packets faster than my phone lmao
