here is an aspect of intellectual property, especially patents that seems to be too rarely discussed: directly discouraging innovation.

when i have a cool idea that is vaguely technological, one of my first thought is "i bet some douchebag already patented it". and how could i disprove that? hire a lawyer for all my savings to look though the millions of active patents? wow, what lovely prospects for my ideas 🤡.

It does happen occasionally. Kid's comic I was reading (Bamse the thunder bear) had a one page Shoah lecture with details on Treblinka, Auschwitz, showers, gas etc. I was four. It was a trauma, but it was a life-long lesson and a truth we can't forget.

So we can get shown stuff, even horrific stuff, from outside our comfort zone, and that can be good, healthy even. But there's a difference between the occasional outlier vs scrambling all statements (true and false) into pure meaningless white noise (probably better known as "the marketplace of ideas").

@reynir that's the good thing about a plurality of opinions I suppose. But I have seen so many wrong and disingenuous reports on fediblock (usually from what I will loosely refer to as the political class). The idea is good in practice, but the problem is that there is no effort into ensuring the accuracy of the information provided.

#fediblock has platformed, and continue to platform false accusations, something that reminds me all to much of the post-truth politics that we see movements such as antivax or qanon capitalize on.

I mean, a bad actor could without issue pose as e.g. a trans person on the fediverse, and then start to spread false accusations through #fediblock against trans people, a tactic that historically has been used to destroy labor movements, animal rights movements, heck, even the free software movement.

It should be of no doubt to many that the constant in fighting in the left is in no part just an organic occurrence, but one that is propagated by a minority of bad actors, that pray on the good faith of others through unregulated channels such as #fediblock.

Given how trivial it is to provide receipts in the age of information technology, it simply must be a necessary prerequisite for such accusations to be raised. If we are to just blindly trust people on the internet without any verification we are literally just laying a loaded gun on the table, and hoping that no one is gonna use it to hurt us.

Of course, all that aside, we know from cyber security that “safe defaults” is a must to establish a system with integrity, so I'm surprised that it's controversial to call #fediblock in it's current existence a horrible idea.
