If USA wants a deal with Russia, I only wonder what can they offer that Europe cannot. They have bigger energy market that’s one thing. But USA has it’s own resources, will they want to buy oil and gas from Russia in big quantities? They also can’t make Russia too strong if they for example want to give them some high tech. Cause Russia will always (?) have better relationship with China than with US (will they?) and if there is 3WW, in current world I think we all agree on the fact that Russia pairs with China against NATO. What else can they offer? I guess keeping supplying Ukraine with military equipment is also some kind of lever. US could just hide this fact from the public. There is also a matter of sanctions but how big of an impact do they have on Russia in reality?

And how does China fits in this?

Cause Russia will always(?) have better relationship with China than with US (will they?) and fighting with both would be difficult. What else can they offer?

Whats the problem with creating one message and using the APIs for posting it on all social medai? With optional formatting per platform?

Strange that Spain and Norway don’t have its own instance. Big countries

I mean yeah, doesnt matter. The point is people shared alternatives to big tech just like folks who are not in the power right now. Cause apparently x is musk’s and it looks like the consensus is that rest of big tech is siding with Trump for profit

It’s crazy how the wind changed. Does anyone remeber the almost exact same thing 4 years ago, when people on the right side of political spectrum shared alternatives to big tech from their point ov view? GAB.COM, PARLER, BRAVE, DUCKDUCKGO etc

XD

That’s a lot of money.

Yeah, techical should have actually objectively best comments on top. I don’t agree that in this category the earliest comment wins. Maybe sometimes, but usually I don’t think so. It depends on the size of the thread if people go through the whole section or just small piece. But that’s my opinion but to prove it we would need data.

The value in controversial category is that people dont upvote just because others upvote. It demands thought from a user.

I think ultimately it’s about whether you want to seek the actual truth and getting somewhere with the discussion or not. Truth can only be discovered when thinking is turned on.

You base your answer on only first study when I pasted four examples? And potentially there is more?

I asked ChatGPT about existing experiments on this matter. Sheep behavious is real:

Key Studies: The “Hidden Votes” Experiment (Muchnik et al., 2013)

One of the most well-known studies on this topic was published in Science by Muchnik, Aral, and Taylor. Researchers manipulated upvotes and downvotes on a social news site (similar to Reddit) with 100,000+ users. When an initial upvote was artificially added to a post, it increased the likelihood that others would upvote it by 32%. Downvotes did not have the same effect—they were often corrected by other users. The experiment suggests strong social influence in voting behavior. “Bandwagon Effect in Online Voting” (Lorenz et al., 2011)

This study found that when people saw public votes before casting their own, they converged towards the majority opinion. The effect was particularly strong in subjective judgments, like ratings of art or music. YouTube and Social Proof (Salganik, Dodds, & Watts, 2006)

In a controlled music experiment, researchers manipulated download counts for different songs. Songs with high fake download numbers became even more popular, showing strong herding behavior. “Hidden Likes” Experiment on Instagram (2019)

Instagram conducted real-world A/B testing by removing visible like counts in several countries. Initial reports suggested reduced social pressure, but Meta has not released detailed statistics. What Happens When Votes Are Hidden? Some studies show that without visible votes, people rely more on personal judgment instead of following the herd. However, others found that herding still happens when other subtle signals (such as comments, engagement, or reposts) remain.

Yeah, I edited the answer forgot about case when user wants to vote on many comments, check it out now and see if your questions still hold.

What exactly can victim of torture “want that the person who they are afraid of want them to want.”? They can say something that the torturer wants them to say, sure. But wanting something? Like what?

“When people are afraid of other people, they often pretend to want the thing that the person who they are afraid of want they to want” - first time hearing this. More examples?

Im not sure about the logic of the implication here. What “pretending” has to do with being afraid of somebody?

Some people from US might laugh at it and not look at it seriously partly because they have most powerful military and are far away so there is literally zero threat. But folks from Poland like me don’t look at it thay way. Just sharing how some of these people think. This is their reality. Ordinary folks on the street. Nobody in rest of the world would ever say such think about Russia the way they do it, like it was obvious, like it was just a simple answer. Zero surprise at a question.

TLDR from AI Chat about whats this all about:

This guy is deep in thought about existence, change, and the nature of reality. He reflects on how everything is in constant motion—our bodies, emotions, even the universe itself. He’s exploring mindfulness, non-attachment, and going with the flow instead of resisting life’s natural rhythms. He sees time as an illusion, emotions as energy, and life as an interconnected dance. Ultimately, he’s embracing presence, letting go of control, and finding beauty in the ever-changing now.

Yeah I saw that chart, but this data comes from reddit itself, which tells me to be sceptic about it. They are public company now and they have to look good to investors.
