Saying "I don't want censorship" is equivalent to saying "I'm fine with people using my tool for coffee meetups, genocide planning, bridge club, and drug deals." It's an attempted handwashing of moral responsibility under the cover of software purity.

At this point, it's pretty well documented that social media _as a tool_ has increased young female mental illness; the question is only "how much" [1]. To try to wave away responsibility for this by saying "but I'm just making a tool!" is beyond irresponsible at this point; it's morally reprehensible.

Why should this be solved by discouraging censorship-resistant tools?

A nice square gets me 77%. Good enough for me.

Now somebody should make a Perfect Square game so you can draw a nice circle with the same result!

This needs pen drawing support. I have not seen a decent web whiteboard suitable for maths. I'm currently using desktop version of [1], and it has many cool features, but having it on web would be so much better.

So I keep reading reports about how hookworms are like a super cure for autoimmune disorders from allergies to Crohn's disease. Does anyone know why we can't just inject, ingest, or apply whatever it is that they emit? Like...why is there not a treatment for eczema yet better than steroid creams?

From what I read on the internet, in order to have benefits a human being would need to get infected with worms in childhood.
