You really truly believe he had no intention of killing? Are you dumb?

Cops bring guns to risky arrests. Do you believe they have intention of killing? I do, at least conditionally, yes. As in they absolutely intend to kill the guy being arrested if he pulls a weapon. Almost everyone that carries a gun has the intention of shooting anyone who attacks them. That is the point of a gun.

Like my Burger King t shirt, this was very clearly sending a message of “I am your enemy.”

I don’t know if he was hoping to shoot someone or if he expected to just intimidate them and didn’t expect anyone would be dumb enough to start attacking a guy with a big ass gun. From legal perspective, I don’t care, hoping for something is not illegal.

From whether Rittenhouse is an asshole, I already said I think he is anyway.

Active shooters? Sure. He wasn’t active anymore when the cops got there.

Aaah right, so now they should have just executed him without a trial. :D

The age old source of “I made it the fuck up”.

Carrying a gun is “premeditated self defence”? Are people only supposed to carry guns where it is safe? What is the purpose of that?

So many people pushing this ridiculous idea he is guilty for not staying at home, quaking in his boots. Right to self defense and to bear arms literally exist so that people don’t have to fear walking outside because of asshat violent criminals and rioters.

And even more ridiculous saying the police and prosecutors didn’t care. What do you mean? They went after him with everything they had. It was a jury of his peers that told them to f off with that shit.

But I guess lemmy only likes juries if they nullify actual murderers they like, not when they let go an innocent person they don’t like. (I don’t like Rittenhouse either, but that does not make him a murderer.)

As I understand it, the .su was not really an intentional exception as much as it happened before the strict rules were written down.

Look at how old the fossils in Congress are. That is how much experience it required to become such high tier clowns. You need a state-of-the-art clown school to replace them without a drop in quality. 🤡

Ok, cool. How should Steam prevent it?

Edit: Or more relevantly, how is having unmoderated usually unseen public spaces worse for this than having unmoderated private spaces? Is the issue only that steam does not hide what is happening unlike other websites?

Sorry, do I need to handhold you through it? Are you unable to figure out what the definition of blackmail is? “If you don’t bring an umbrella, you will get wet since it is supposed to rain.” is not blackmail. Unless you are 10, I am very concerned that you can’t comprehend this.

Wait, so your point is that we don’t need to moderate DMs (and by proxy other spaces that users don’t see), just make them feel unwelcome in the public ones.

And earlier in the thread, when I ask where the extremist content is, I and Schadrach agreed it is mostly places people don’t see. Which you didn’t object to.

So isn’t it job well done, Steam is as is should be? Or what is the issue here?

So, any platform that offers unmoderated DMs should be banned? Or how exactly do you want to solve extremists reaching out in private?

So unless you go looking at the user profile pages of white supremacists, or go searching for white supremacist user groups you won’t run into much of it.

Yeah, that is my point. How can people be radicalized by something they don’t see?

Also, as non American, I find it mental that pepe memes are considered hate symbols now.

Care to provide a link? I just skimmed Helldivers 2 discussions a bit and found nothing extremist.

Edit: The worst I found so far is this, which is pretty dumb but not really at the level of “dangerous”, or where it obviously needed to be removed.

As I said, I have never seen anything I would consider extremist myself. Though from your reply, I get the feeling the issue could be an unreasonably broad definition of extremist content on your side. That or I just happen to not visit games with such discussions.

I am a big GOG enjoyer myself, but when I need to use steam for anything, I have never encountered such content. Perhaps there is such content in private or otherwise not very visible spaces (such as user profiles), where they will not get reported, but that is true for any site with user content. I call BS on this being an issue.

You can force a lot of things if you have the majority. Doesn’t mean you should.

What I am describing is not blackmail. It is the same as saying that leaving unguarded food next to starving people encourages theft of said food. That is not blackmail. I am saying anything beyond that. I am not commenting on morality of the situation or what the right thing to do is. Just pointing out a fact.

Thanks for the extra info.

That makes sense, thanks for the info.
