Oh no! I accidentally left location services on and now they’ve bricked my computer with ransomware! /sarcasm

If you’re using VLC to play downloaded MKV and AVIs then injected threats are far from uncommon.

If a person already has a source for content they trust then go with torrents but if they don’t then it isn’t safer at all.

Pretty easy to identify, quarantine, and repair threats from a browser compared to downloads.

Tbh I feel like downloading anime in any form is an unnecesary security risk. Theres websites that host it for free and adblockers that make them squeaky clean to visit.

Somebody wanna fill me in on the don’t kill games thing? I’ve heard it mentioned 3 times now over the course of a week or two so I figure maybe it’s something noteworthy.

I am not 100% but I am like 98.9%

I want to apologize for my needless aggression earlier. I spent the morning arguing with CCP propogandists and its got me seeing red. (see what I did there?)

Yeah, blocked users cannot see or vote on your content.

I assure you that unstable people already stalk others and vote histories are already visible to those who try hard enough.

They can come at me, I downvote every single hexbear post in the feed regardless of content.

If I say some shit you disagree with then feel free to engage with me. I’m literally here for discussions. What are you here for?

You should not be ashamed of your vote history.

Why would this encourage harrassment? It would just expose harrassment.

There are bots that exist solely to downvote specific users and instances. If you and JacobRimJob downvote each other every time you see each other and eventually argue about it until it devolves into passionate lovemaking, tbats not what harrassment is.

It would also expose upvote bots promoting propoganda.

It’s instance specific, but you can see it all if you try hard enough.

On multiple occasions a moderator has reached out to me and informed me an account existed purely to go through my comments and downvote me. I assume this is a common occurance and we could combat it better if we could see the votes.

Oh, so you’re saying you fantasize about Xi because of the great policy of…

Not being somebody else in a different country on the opposite side of the earth?

Stuff like becoming “General Secretary” for life, concentration camps for Uighurs, hostility with Taiwan, India, and Indonesia, takeover of Hong Kong, and Document 9 of 2013?

You like how LGBT aren’t allowed to marry or adopt? You like that China are a corrupt capitalist oligarchy run by a militaristic dictatorship hand in hand with Billionaires because they at least claim to be communist?

The only place you can find tens or hundreds of people singing the praises of an actual living dictator is in a place they own.

You don’t need to make an inferno to spread fire. You just need sparks.
