I wouldn't be so quick to donate to CCDH.

Mike Masnick over at Techdirt has thoughts I found interesting. (and here)

Thanks for sharing!

Yes donating. This is a good cause.

How about the CCDH stop using the very platform fhat they are complaining about!

Gotta love all these various groups and individuals who see Elon is a piece of shit but still drive around in their Teslas or post stuff on Twitter. That site would collapse if people just left!

Best anti digital hate movement ever: Going outside and doing something of actual use or recreational value.

How about no. Counter measures for digital hate always involve taking away anonymity. Fuck musk and his nazi friends but fuck that as well.

Sorry, could you please explain in more detail what your objection has to do with the specific group being discussed? Do you just dislike the group's name, or do you have any complaint about their activities?

Internet anomity allows us to say what we really want to say, have real discussions, even in countries that limit free speech. Its massively important.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Could you please point at where this group has opposed anonymity?

I would consider that to be a pretty big failure on their part, since anonymity and pseudonymity have always been an important protection for minority groups on the Internet.

I took a quick look through their site and didn't see anything about anonymity. The following seemed par for the course:

Facebook is failing to label half of the content from leading climate deniers as misinformation. This includes posts that call climate change a “hoax” and call it “alarmist climate propaganda”. Facebook promised to tackle climate misinformation and is failing to keep that promise.
