@oliphant we are mostly in agreement about needing a good block list for most new servers..

What gets me is the very low quality choices on the council, nonrequirement for receipts or any way for users to effectively research blocks, and the fact that notorious instances like rage.love known to lie and manipulate to encoirage their block list on others, makes for a bad aggregate list.

Getting 50 servers on the council could potentially address the server, but if a list of 50 servers has the same poor quality members as the 10 you have now then you will have the same problem.

I think if you want to solve the problem then the solution is not to simply have more servers on the council but rather have criteria for what servers can be on the council. Id rather have 3 server council that has well maintained receipts and transparency around their receipt process than 100 servers all hand picked to look like rage.love with few receipts and a bad reputation for abusing their block list.

The best solution is to build a receipts database and ensure any participating server must have receipts on a block throuvh the receipts server in order for the bloxk to be calculated at all. At least then users of thr blocklist will have the tools to do their own due dilligance

I still don't know who he is and now I care even less.

Instead, let's talk about how to implement a fair tax system:

usually the game is to create a categorization and then slowly add everything to the categorization.

that's how you end up with someone telling a doctor they are sad and now they are on 30 terrorist watch lists because of it and none of them make sense.

@admitsWrongIfProven @antares @thatguyoverthere

You think, despite being disproven by example, that forcing mental health consequences means people with mental health issues wont be doing the thing.

You think the choice is between crazy people with guns/planes vs sane people.

The reality is the argument is treated people who are now mentally healthy flying/owning planes/guns vs untreated people.

It amazes me the republicans are out here trying to argue for better access to emntal health meanwhile democrats are trying to punish people who need access to mental health.

You got it all backwards man.

@freemo @thatguyoverthere @admitsWrongIfProven there is a natural experiment that shows this. The FAA grounds pilots and controllers who have a medically diagnosed mental health issue. The result is that people in these professions do not seek treatment for their mental health issues because doing so means loosing their job.

@thatguyoverthere @admitsWrongIfProven @freemo various incidents involving axes and knives in germany, more often than mainstream reports on it.

you wouldn't have someone killing multiple people with an axe if we had legal carry here.
