Facebook has a "real name" policy. It doesn't work, some people create plausibly sounding fake accounts, while others get banned for not sounding plausible enough. Chinese social networks require official ID registration, they're still full of trolls, bullying, and fake accounts. The EU is working on an expanded Digital ID service suite... theoretically it could be done well, but based on past experiences, I remain somewhat skeptical.

For 2-way blocking, check Threads. It has more trolls and spam, but also more options like:
- User "Mute": 1-way block, like Lemmy
- User "Block": 3-way block, you don't see them, they don't see you, nobody sees their replies to your comments
- Reply "Hide for everyone": hide replies to your comments
- Comment "Limit who can reply": Anyone / only Followed / only Mentioned
Although it's a Meta spawn, it ends up being relatively clean since users can "ban" each other from discussions, which works as a de-escalation mechanism.
I'm rarely out of Beehaw, works like a charm.
"When facing the evil, the lawful neutral stands below the chaotic good."
Peaceful protests are a great idea, up to a point.
These shenanigans are likely illegal in the EU:
- All products have to offer a minimum of 2 years of warranty, including access to online services on the same terms as sold. If they can't afford 2 years of servers, then they shouldn't've made the basic service free from the beginning.
- Collecting excessive personal data (not personally identifiable, just personal) without prior approval by the user, like data about whether a user would pay or not, is a GDPR violation.
If people got serious, they'd be looking at some lawsuits and fines.
Wikipedia and Archive.org need international mirrors. Just saying.
- Books bought a long time ago (created the account last century)
- Books not available on the high seas that were 50% cheaper on Amazon
- Books from Humble Bundles
And who said anything about being surprised? Got my offline copies of all of them already, but can get another one.
Below-average gross wages (expense for employer), with above-average net wage purchasing power (how much employees can buy).
Meaning: can pay less, without people protesting more.

For comparison: Denmark has 309% gross wages, with only 167% net purchasing power... so for the same employee's purchasing power/satisfaction, an employer can pay only 54% wages in Poland.
Nice. May I ask, how did you do that? AI summary? I don't see that content in the page source. 😯
I've seen a LinkedIn comment calling it an "untapped opportunity in the west", wonder what's that about.
You're right. However, we learn slurs as a shortcut to express sentiment. For educational purposes: what would be some acceptable ways of expressing the same sentiment?
"Charlie Chaplin's"... "roman salute"? 🤬
For context: PiS representatives keep getting invited to, and attending, all European neofascist alt-right meetings.
That is true, but only works at a single thread level:
Now Mallory has to decide whether to:
If Mallory keeps hiding replies, her post A will have less engagement, with a notification of "Some additional replies are unavailable".
Meanwhile... Alice doesn't need to stop rebutting A:
If people like Alice's rebuttal, then it can get more engagement than Mallory's misinformation, which makes the algorithm show it to more people.
So while the system can create echo chambers at a single thread level, as long as a post is open to comments and resharing, which are essential to spreading it, anyone can also grab it and create their own chamber around it.
It's usual to see these kinds of reposts, with separate discussions, sometimes linking to each other and creating larger discussion pools.
