A great example of what I'm talking about.
"Disagree? You're a Nazi"
You're cheapening the word and helping them become normalized.

The extreme left and extreme right spaces have a lot in common. Purity tests and instant bans for anyone not sharing the same groupthink is probably the biggest things.
Meta has a chatbot that makes pirated books available?
Great place, except for how far from NYC it is. I miss the days of being able to travel to NYC in less than 24 hours
The real problem is that there are crazy people who define anybody right of them as a Nazi.
But, we're not ready to have that conversation yet
It's a standard terms of service and a verbal "commitment" which isn't worth the paper it's printed on.
I'm sure you'll find the exact same wording on substack's tos.
The problem is that what social media denizens call Nazi and what Ghost and substack call Nazi are all wildly different things.
Oh yeah, this guy.
He couldn't have done it, he was spending that time at my house helping me move. You guys were there too, remember?
They just drinking some of the residual koolaid that team Trump was pouring into social media to convince left leaning voters, who were never going to vote for him, to throw their votes away.
It's the same tactic they used in 2016 to target black people. They simply put out a lot of fake posts from fake "black people" creating the illusion of a movement of people who refused to vote for Hillary.
The Great Hack is a documentary that covers the Cambridge Analytica scandal and shows them talking about using this exact same tactic in other elections. The former employee said it was like injecting poison into the veins of social media.
The person you're responding to probably doesn't even realize that they're still regurgitating the same nonsense because they think they're living in a world full of other people who agree with them. But that world is artificial and was created to manipulate them.
They spend a lot to decommission the ships and make them safe. It's just cheaper to buy an old ship and clean it up than to buy a similar amount of other artificial reef materials.
Also, being ships in shallow water, it drives scuba diving tourists as well as creating new locations for recreational fishing.
They're pretty big boons for the local towns.
They're usually sank in areas that are otherwise uninhabited by corals due to the depth of the water. The wrecks provide surfaces in the light zone which allows corals to grow.
It's entirely new habitat and it provides more breeding sites in the area. Even if it takes wildlife from other areas, the decrease in population in those results in higher breeding rates in those locations due to decreased competition for food and breeding sites. More breeding sites = more breeding and a higher overall population of wildlife over time.
Ecology aside, these sites draw a lot of tourism. They're "shipwrecks" that are in shallow water, often shallow enough that you can experience them while scuba diving, without needing decompression stops. This means that scuba divers can experience wreck diving without the extra complexity of decompression.
There are many of these artificial reefs around Florida and they're very popular dive sites in areas that otherwise would have no similar attractions.
