to go back to the original post, where she is getting angry at zionists (presumably about the genocide israel is doing), i care much more whether you are doing anything about it than what emotions you have about it. different people work differently. i’d rather someone contribute to a local org and be ignorant of global struggles instead of spending all of their time getting angry at people online so that they contribute nothing.

i’m talking about trying to break a habit that you find negative in your life, and some specific things that can help with that, not saying that you should do these things on this site.

the general advice people have given here has been pretty good, but i want to share a couple things that have worked for me to disrupt these kinds of negative habits:

• remove the site from your browser history so it doesn’t autocomplete in the address bar
• log out of the site so you don’t get your “preferred” places to go recommended
• get a browser extension to block the site as a whole or the specific features that bother you

If only 1% were sampled to vote and it was done so in a reasonably unbiased way, your results would be 99.999% in line with the average American’s opinion/wants.

you are vastly overstating the accuracy of polling, and making a system with a hugely glaring way to game the system. if you thought the voter suppression in the us is bad now, wait until you see the stupid fucking political games being played with the sampling rules in your proposed system.

monads.online and octodon.social are also not precisely ML, but they are broadly compatible
