Comment Re:And the death rate is... (Score 1) 520

It seems to be the same for the unvaccinated that get hospitalized. So while the overwhelming majority of vaccinated people won't get hospitalized, if you do, you have about the same chance of getting fucked as anybody else who was hospitalized. Which is really leaning towards outcome has more to do with your immune system than anything else.

If vaccinated individuals can still contract and spread the virus(just with less severe outcomes) wont that put pressure on the virus to evolve?

I've already had covid and been suffering the long term effects for the past 16 months and really don't look forward to even more deadlier variants.

Maybe that 'handling' is the only thing providing herd immunity to the USA. How many people are fully vaccinated? The only way to get any sort of herd immunity in the USA is to have natural infection as well and how do you accomplish that?

The split in the usa is well known and used effectively all the time.

I didn't take over anything. If you're asking why THEY would take a channel over, my guess would be to keep the channel operating and maintained.

Like a sane person, I'll reserve my judgement of dickness till they start doing dick things.

So far the only evidence I see anywhere is some guy bought a domain name and some volunteers got upset for reasons they don't know and/or can't discuss. Which to me, with some 3 decades of internet experience, seems like the typical splits that happen over petty reasons. Which is unfortunate, because this split affects THOUSANDS of other communities.

A glorified unthinking filter.

I got a 24 hour bullying ban for replying to a drum post about burying the beater "you dog".

I got a 72 hour hate speech ban for jokingly calling a fellow mexican, posting in a latino group, 'you crazy latino' for only wanting to be called mexican and not latino. I mean, why join a latino group then?

There's no functioning AI here.

This is the real reason skynet kills us all, cause it's dumb as sh!t.

Channels that were taken over were ones that stated in their messages that they were shutting down and moving to Libera. But then again, you're AC. So just spreading FUD.

Tell me, how do you take over a 'business' if there is no 'business'? . Anyways, no point in giving any heed to an AC with a clear bias.

You can mention libera all over the place. We were having discussions about Libera on several channels with no ill effect. The only channels that were being taken over were the channels that changed their message to say they're shutting down and moving to Libera. Those are two separate things. But there's a lot of FUD being spread about.
