Listen, I know it’s temping to say people shouldn’t come/migrate to USA anymore because of current conditions. Even though, I agree with that, life can be very hard in so many third world countries that you can’t even imagine it. Moving to USA for these people is the golden ticket they’ve dreamt all their lives.

@AnnieBuddy Clearly you’ve never lived in a third world country.

@sayrer @siracusa It's the best in Boston if you like New York style slices/pies, but I know that's not for everybody. Frank Pepe is good if you like New Haven style.

@evan I see the appeal for distributed moderation but am unsure a dislike button could accomplish it. I recall Slashdot (though haven't used it in a long time) had descriptive words that could be "voted' on, which made filtering for certain qualities (e.g. looking for expertise) possible. I fear that a dislike button could lead to "downvoting" stuff without consideration and maybe diminish interaction. Liking adds a positive feeling but I don't want to put effort into disliking people's stuff.

Wenn man mich als historisch halbwegs gebildete Person fragt, in welcher Zeit ich am liebsten Leben würde - es wäre, trotz allem, heute.
Ich kämpfe dafür, dass meine Enkel dasselbe über ihre Zeit sagen.

No matter how secure a system is in theory, it must be put into practice. After all, information security is not a value in itself, but is intended to protect people from unauthorized access to their data.
