Could you elaborate? Does HOA mean something different in other countries?

Home owner's association; when you buy a house and it is part of a HOA, you have to sign a contract to join the HOA as a requirement of buying, which means you have to pay dues and abide by the rules of the organization, and you have to require the next buyer to also join in order to sell your house.

this will force us humans to go actually outside, make friends, form deep social relationship, and build lasting, resilient communities

There is no chance it goes that way, how is talking to people outside even an option for someone used to just being on the internet? Even if the content gets worse, the basic mechanisms to keep people scrolling still function, while the physical and social infrastructure necessary for in person community building is nonexistent.

This is the good kind of AI that’s actually useful instead of the BS AI like LLMs

lol, trying to hedge against downvotes from the anti-AI crowd?

I doubt the school administrators who would be buying this thing or the people trying to make money off it have really thought that far ahead or care whether or not it does that, but it would definitely be one of its main effects.

For visibility, here is a list of ways around youtube ads the video was supposedly banned for mentioning:

Desktop:

• https://freetubeapp.io/
• https://github.com/LibreTubeApp/LibreTube
• https://github.com/yattee/yattee
• https://invidious.io/
• Apparently searching for a youtube url in Bing.com and clicking on the thumbnail gives you the video with no ads

Android:

• https://grayjay.app/
• https://newpipe.net/

I personally use Freetube and think it's great

I don't have an issue with reasonable moderation, but I object to the idea that every pattern of moderation should just be accepted and that censorship isn't a problem worth worrying about.

Reddit doesn't have a modlog, so most of the removed comments are lost forever and there is no accountability for them, but a few of them can be seen through Reveddit, and the ones I see are not off topic or ideological rants. For instance the first one I see is

Are they going to shoot up the wrong car with innocent ladies in it again looking for this guy? Edit: Guess they managed to take him down without hitting any civilians, I guess good job for only killing the bad guy

Obviously referring to the Chris Dorner shootings which would be very relevant here, in a very reasonable way. I think it's fair to assume that r/news moderators simply don't want that guy mentioned at all.

It used to be a better place for arguments

I think it's actually a serious problem if the most prominent places for discussion are heavily censored

IMO for some people arguing is a form of intimacy

Can't track mouse movements on mobile though

Obligatory LLMs see tokens not letters
