many use the New feature to look thru what hasnt been seen before. when upvoted it commends the user and bumps up the post but the sliding up doesnt offer much benifit to the user.

with downvotes poals content is pruned or effectively curated unlike what the upvote can do.

this remind me of the human brain and youtube. both achieve greater success when a filter or selectivity is employed. i also block users from time to time when they are found to incite issues.

and also, do any of you tell people in public about poal?

goodday

im not your honey.

what you call free isnt nessicarilly desireable, what you call free is simply a hodgepodge of information that contradicts and is laced with subversion.

free speech includes downvoats. downvoating is free speech. dont linguistics me please.

and again curtailing content andso being Selective is curation.

thanks for letting me know of your account. i can block it now and poal will be all the better for me. you on the other hand can enjoy those i havent blocked and downvoated shitty content

I'm truly wounded.

what you call free is simply a hodgepodge of information that contradicts and is laced with subversion.

I think people are allowed to contradict each other. The hodgepodge you see is diversity of opinion which is what happens when people can speak their minds. Also, are you mostly thinking of Q when you talk about subversion?

free speech includes downvoats. downvoating is free speech. dont linguistics me please.

The downvote is a type of speech, but it doesn't promote free speech. Is shouting at people who are trying to speak free speech? The curation you desire would mean suppressing some speech with other speech.

and again curtailing content andso being Selective is curation.

You could at least not pretend you're advocating for free speech. Freedom can be quite messy. What did you think it was? I think you'd have a stronger argument if you could at least see this in terms of tradeoffs about freedom versus organized information.

thanks for letting me know of your account.

You're welcome!

freedom leaves the possibility for attacks. liberty refers to ones ability to in fact be free from attack.

freespeech, as you define it, leaves the possibility of subversion, shill.

liberty in reference to poal would benifit from downvoats and blocking users.

linguistics.

So you're arguing from a perspective of ordered liberty? That's an interesting perspective you don't hear much about.

freespeech, as you define it, leaves the possibility of subversion, shill.

It's this sentence that makes me doubt your point. Even in ordered liberty people are allowed to disagree and disagreement doesn't mean subversion.You literally said you had a problem with a "a hodgepodge of information that contradicts," and how you behave implies you don't know how to handle disagreement.

freespeech, as you define it, leaves the possibility of subversion, shill.

Subversion is always possible. Poal has ways to deal with it like the algorithm that creates the Suspicious Behavior tag. We can argue about better ways to prevent subversion, but acting like you have the perfect solution and all who disagree are evil comes across as silly.

liberty in reference to poal would benifit from downvoats and blocking users.

People can already block a limited amount of users. It's not infinite in order to avoid an echochamber. Perhaps you'd make a finer argument without thin skin.
