So I've been banned from HackerNews and Lobsters. ... Are there any non-shitty/left-wing-extremists tech news aggregators?

@djsumdog pushcx is in the "ban old time users with high karma points" mood again? :)

@djsumdog @bonifartius It's a shame you can't see avatars on IRC like on Telegram, because I bet they'd all be picrew shit, furries with "that flag" as the background, and soy selfies.

@parisc the dr malone == aNtiVaXx/mAgA line would count as good comedy routine in saner days.
@djsumdog

@bonifartius I agree. A lot of this just isn't funny anymore. When the Babylon Bee's satire is too close to reality to judge the difference, something fundamentally in humanity is broken .. on a world wide scale we have not seen before in human history.
@parisc

@djsumdog what fucks me the most are the obvious lies and cognitove dissonance.. nobel price winners who are canceled, one day hospitalizations are the reason for "vaxx everybody", the next week it's "oh, but you see, the increase in hospitalizations is nothing to worry about, they are all vaxxed!". pcr tests are exactly what the "conspiracy theorists" said they are now. the benign explanation is that nobody wants to admit faults. the whole covid story felt weird from the start though. something felt _off_, but i can't put my finger onto it. maybe just our whole era is wicked and weird.

@parisc

@CapitalB I was seeing that shit back in April of 2020 when I was pulling the Johns Hopkins data daily and graphing it. I wrote a whole post on how fucked up the entire data collection process was:

@bonifartius @parisc

@djsumdog @CapitalB @parisc i was more targeting the fact that here in germany either absolute drama or "it's all peachy" can happen with roughly the same numbers (eastern germany a month ago vs. bremen now). its a fucking joke.

haven't read the full article right now, but arcgis is a fucking abomination and the graphs are intentionally misleading.

@djsumdog @bonifartius @parisc I "felt" that something cant be line they told us. Then in April the übersteep and monotone fall of the numbers... abd nobody asked wait a minute how is this possible???
