You're being surprisingly judgmental when it doesn't seem like you even read the first few paragraphs on the website about it, let alone the other available documentation.

We're still early but we already have a user manual that goes into quite a bit of detail, if you'd like to take a look and if you still have questions I'd be happy to answer.

Except it's become dysfunctional now that the two factions are operating with two different sets of facts, and only one of them based on reality.

I just checked and it looks like my post history only goes back to 2011? DId slashdot dump all of the older stuff? :((((

My UID number here is four digits. I used to write a LOT here. So unfortunate if they had to blow away all of the old stuff.

I saw this on Facebook, commented there, but then decided I should log in here, just for old time's sake, and comment the same:

The year of the Linux Desktop was 1995 for me.

Check my post history going back nearly that far. Wow, I haven't logged into slashdot in many years. Once Facebook, reddit, etc. came along they totally replaced slashdot in my mind. I'm glad to see that it's still here.

Then don't use their platform.

So then you believe thousands of climate scientists have conspired to abandon the fundamental principles of their profession (the scientific method) for the sake of a political agenda. Do you have proof of this? And why should we believe you when you have to blatantly mischaracterize the consensus with "caused SOLELY by humans"?

The way out of that mess was established with the Scientific Method.

People today have this odd psychological need to believe they are smarter than the scientific consensus. It will be our undoing as a species if our leaders continue to take their side.

Perception is subjective. Reality is reality.

Whoever the owners of said platforms decides is a reputable source of information.

If you don't like who they choose, you're free to stop using the platform.

That's how it works.

Sounds like a compelling reason to stop subsidizing the fossil fuel industries then and let the market sort it out.

People who care about music listen to vinyl and pretend to hear tones a dog cannot.

Evidently not a fan of normalizing civil conversation either. Yikes!

What we need now more than ever are some tax cuts for the rich.

This might be a situation where an occultation of a star might be needed to detect it.
