What are your thoughts on restricting children’s access to pornography online?
There are a lot of GOP-controller legislatures in the USA pushing through so-called “child protection” laws, but there’s a toll in the form of impacting people’s rights and data privacy. Most of these bills involve requiring adults to upload a copy of their photo ID.
What's your favorite Linux distro?
Curious, how many users here actually use ActivityPub's capabilities to see other social media sites?
I’ve always wondered how many people actually decide to use something like mastodon to see Lemmy posts. I mean I know how inadequate it can be with a lack of a proper UI but I’m just wondering. Especially, with the infinite possibilities this can have.

At which level within the hierarchy of the US office do individuals aspiring to be part of it tend to be perceived as driven by a strong desire for power?
A lot of people would describe people who want to be the president as people who shouldn’t be president, but I’ve never heard someone describe someone who would describe someone who wants to be mayor as that.

How does hide read threads work?
Do they get unhidden on new activity? I assume not. Would it be plausible to implement the option to hide seen threads until new stuff arises and maybe dictate the amount of new comments till it shows up again?

Is it me, or the hive mind mentality has come over here as well?
I’ve posted some controversial stuff, and I understand why I would be getting down voted for that. But I see some of my posts and comments are in the negatives for seemingly no reason at all? I don’t really care about the karma because I can’t see it anyway, but I’m worried that comments and posts here are gonna get...

What are some physics-based arguments against hard determinism?
I don’t believe free will is real. I’m not a deep physics person (and relatively bad at math), but with my undergrad understanding of chemistry, classical mechanics, and electromagnetism, it seems most rational that we are creatures entirely controlled by our environments and what we ingest and inhale....
