<StephenLynx> copypaste, not to keep hitting the same key over and over again but
<StephenLynx> do you think about how you are encouraging and support corporations becoming the arbiters of public discourse?
<StephenLynx> and supporting*
<copypaste> ron watkins is a scam artist
<copypaste> why doesn't he just use his "impenetrable fortress" of susucoin?
<copypaste> think about that
<StephenLynx> I didn't ask that.
<copypaste> i asked that
<StephenLynx> fine, jim is a scumbag.
<StephenLynx> how is that relevant?
<StephenLynx> i know susucoin is bullshit.
<StephenLynx> I know he bullshits the Qboomers
<copypaste> in that case it's just a matter of degrees as to what tactics are acceptable
<copypaste> to keep his imageboards down
<copypaste> i fall somewhere between Bui and an NYT reporter
<StephenLynx> to the cost of eroding public discourse and free speech?
<owo> <PatMan> jmanfatty, do you like how cripplekike is pulling a brianna wu?
<owo> <@copypaste> JEWS: i just sent that to julia wong at the guardian
<copypaste> i disagree that anything is being eroded
<copypaste> your premise is wrong
<owo> copypaste: 8kun isn't all about you
<copypaste> i'm making it all about me
<copypaste> and it's working
<copypaste> because i'm competent, not like wu
<copypaste> smile buttercup
<copypaste> :*
<StephenLynx> you don't think CF acted like an arbiter when it should just provide the service it was paid for?
<owo> i bet julia wong cringed at gamer incels emailing her about their online arguments
<copypaste> she emailed me!
<copypaste> i don't cold call reporters, that's how they start ignoring you
<copypaste> just a tip in case you ever want to deal with the press
<copypaste> they don't like being pitched stories
<copypaste> their editors assign the stories to them
<copypaste> they have tip lines that you're supposed to use forf pitches
<StephenLynx> do you think there's a bottom to this rabbit hole? that corporations will think twice before throwing people under the bus for the smallest amount of positive PR?
<copypaste> i think that whether or not 8chan comes back cancel culture is going to run its course
<copypaste> "What must happen eventually should happen immediately" - Henry Kissinger
<StephenLynx> you also seem to find 8ch incredibly relevant.
<StephenLynx> copypaste, here's the issue: a platform don't like you? fine. go to some other. none does? make your own platform.
<StephenLynx> but you can't do that and compete if companies don't offer you paid services for your legal business.
<StephenLynx> there is no free market of ideas.
<StephenLynx> because of an increasing arbitration of corporations on what should be or shouldn't be part of public discourse.
<StephenLynx> you know very well that even after 8ch tried to use an alternative to CF,  the very fucking company was cut off from the other company they were using services from.
<StephenLynx> you know that every single god damn payment processor and the likes dropped 8ch
<StephenLynx> for absolutely bullshit reasons.
<StephenLynx> you were on the receiving end of this situation once.
<copypaste> maybe the problem is capitalism and not solvable by me simply shutting up
<copypaste> unless you really think that journos would be happy to see 8kun+Q return
<StephenLynx> no, but you are make the problem worse.
<StephenLynx> making the problem*
<StephenLynx> also, who gives a fuck about journos?
<StephenLynx> they are just SJW busybodies
<StephenLynx> let them REEEEE at pigfarmers
<StephenLynx> really, why are you even mentioning what would make them happy?
<StephenLynx> these are the same journos that asked for a 23 yo cripple head on a plate for running a site.
<StephenLynx> also copypaste paste, if your argument is that if you don't do it, the journos will do, that's the same argument you were refusing to take for 8ch not shutting down because the nutjobs would go to some other site.
<copypaste> i have no obligation to you or anyone to be the person i was even five minutes ago
<copypaste> much less five years ago
<StephenLynx> cool. but you addressed literally zero of my arguments.
<StephenLynx> what I meant by journos back in GG is that what they did was bullshit.
<StephenLynx> I wasn't holding you to the values you expressed backl then.
<StephenLynx> god knows that boat already sailed.
<StephenLynx> unless you say clearly that journos and corporations were right in deplatforming you and 8chan back then when it did nothing illegal.
<StephenLynx> and there was no jim scamming bullshit. you took donations and kept the site running.
<StephenLynx> since you are doing literally the same, you either admit it was both bullshit or that it was both justified.
<StephenLynx> or just drop the pretense this is a righteous crusade and admit is just a petty vendetta.
<StephenLynx> the only thing worse than a bullshitter is a righteous bullshitter.
