Two reasons:

  1. There are many steps between "I never wish to see any unmoderated content ever again" and "I wish to see unmoderated content in my feed every day". I don't want to block Lemmy.world communities but I also will go insane if I read those comments every day.

  2. I can't know what those communities are in advance of their being inserted. I don't want the default option for content in my main feed to be "opt out".

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I kind of hate this? I think most communities are lazily moderated and I don't want to have every goon's unmoderated takes on whatever the topic is forced in front of my eyeballs.

Odd how those "deeply held beliefs" are a lot less meaningful to them when there's nobody around to make upset.

The American system is far from ideal but I'm convinced 90% of social media posts decrying a "lack of choice" or "monoparty" are cynical actors trying to make pro-democracy voters feel hopeless. I remember in 2019 all of the "The DNC installed Biden" language was all over Reddit.

I've never seen someone just blatantly lie about primaries not existing anymore though!

Wouldn't surprise me if he's trying to bait the court into a "Measure of a Man" debate since all these people do is try to bait others into pointless exhausting performative "debates".

Well said and I'm glad to see this perspective expressed. "Entertainment" is the spice we give art to well, spice it up. But without the art part, pure entertainment is to our minds like eating a bowl of candy is to our bodies.

Oh yeah I should have mentioned that the whole interview is great

Someone said elsewhere that that whole plot is EXTREMELY in the vibe of TOS and it made me appreciate it a lot more.
