I try to contribute to things getting better, with sourced information, OC and polite rational skepticism.
Disagreeing with a point ≠ supporting the opposite side, I support rationality.
Let’s discuss to make things better sustainably.
Always happy to question our beliefs.
Sad to learn they are majorly USA owned then. Their offices are still mainly in Paris and the data is processed in France. I have been using them back and forth for more than a decade. At the beginning, you could upload your own library (including copyrighted albums) and make it available for streaming to other people, it was a fun time.
Visible post and comment scores are still going to produce some of this behavior. You may not have a total karma but people will still get dopamine from seeing their posts getting upvotes and be reinforced in doing the same again. So the same mechanisms of social pressure and uniformisation are at play. The worst being when people delete their minority opinion comments because of the downvote pressure.

Of course it is political, but it’s against Trump, not the people.
Is it GPS? Could be a VHF radio emitter which is cheaper. https://www.wildlifeact.com/blog/gps-and-vhf-wildlife-tracking-collars-used-for-monitoring
I guess you meant is not entirely wild. It’s actually fairly common for protected animals in parks to have tracking collars so they can be better protected by rangers against poachers, lions and rhinos may have them too.
By right wing, do you mean right of Marxism or do you have some example of conservatism?
It’s normal to expect from OP to provide source for their claim.
Idk what’s the organisation structure, but they can be used as a gift for donators. The EFF does that and has pretty cool original tshirts than change every few years.
Cool! It doesn’t seem to be opened to anyone for now?
