Houston right now, haven't had power, nor water since yesterday. My room is sitting at 20ish degrees and has been all day. I've quite literally been snug under a load of blankets with my wife all day just to stay warm.

My office back in Dallas which is not normally open offered to let people stay the night since they happen to be on the same grid as a hospital and I seriously considered trying to make it there today

What? That’s way below freezing and totally unsafe. Why don’t you sleep in your car? (WARNING: Make sure your exhaust is uncovered and you’re not in your shed)

Name one product he has successfully created. The dripping self victimization is disgusting.

I was allowed and occasionally worked from home before pandemic. I have an excellent technical setup and separate room for my home office.

But now, almost one year later, I want to go back to the office.

I certainly felt less stressed and more happy when I could enjoy the change in environment and having some in-person social interactions.

Working from home makes me loose the feeling that I'm part of something and the job I liked a lot becomes just "a job".

This is probably not universal, since each company is different, with different traditions. Maybe some people are relieved that they won't have to step into the office ever again. :)

Okay good for you, why add your voice and make it harder for the vast majority of people that don’t want this. Go sit in your office when the quarantine is done but please be quiet about your opinions so legitimate change can happen before then for the rest of us.

Imagine that data center will ask you to move out because you're helping Parler. Imagine that your bank will ask you to find another bank in a three days and other banks will not want to work with you. When will you give up?

Cancel culture is spreading fast.

Good, the system should break down a person willingly cultivating hate. The system is working and should be celebrated.

I would host Parler.

While I don't agree with its content, I don't believe in people like hosting providers applying moral tests to their users. The Government/law should be the only people shutting them down.

So you’re against private enterprise then?

Hate cultivator sites like Parler should be shut down by the government however, I do think that should be enshrined in law.

Of all the "deplatformings" this one is the hardest to feel sorry for. They clearly had a lot of technical debt and very little expertise in what they were doing. Seeing their AWS bill, it's apparent they were not without resources either.

As far as I am aware, they are still just moving around their horrendously cobbled together Wordpress monstrosity to whatever giant benefactor that has a couch they can crash on. It's clearly other peoples' fault that they are so dependent on other's technology!

And while I am very receptive towards conservative ideals as well as criticisms of tech and mainstream media, this is a bit like watching someone starve to death because Blue Apron stopped delivering to them.

I could care less about their terrible tech stack. What I will not stand for is the deletion of opposing viewpoints and the seeming lack of moderation over talk of violence, hate mongering and the cultivation of racist and neo-Nazi sentiment.

Yes, I imagine that accusing someone of being a Nazi without any proof would go over poorly here.
trianglem · 5 years ago
He has said himself that he want to provide a space to foment and cultivate far-right ideology on the internet. That’s a Nazi and your prevaricating is obvious.

They're getting downvoted because it's an asinine statement - "I hate cancel culture but...".

So actually they don't hate it, they haven't even thought about it, and in this one instance when they did they concluded that people are right.

They're just stopping short of considering that view any further because then they'd be like those people who are definitely wrong. Because they are.

Cancel culture has been frivolously applied to a lot of situations where it does not make sense to. Rob Monster literally has said himself he wants to provide a place to foment specifically far-right ideology. He is extremely deserving of a “cancel”.

There's not really a way to prove it, since reddit doesn't have transparent moderation, but in my experience /r/politics tends to ban users with different viewpoints.
trianglem · 5 years ago
Why would there be a lot of opposing viewpoints that are buried under downvotes if you sort by controversial then? You’re making claims with no basis whatsoever.
