Announce protest actions, general chit chat or give your opinion on issues we haven’t covered for the day.
The Editor doesn’t moderate this blog, 3 volunteers do, they are very lenient to provide you a free speech space but if it’s just deranged abuse or putting words in bloggers mouths to have a pointless argument, we don’t bother publishing.
All in all, TDB gives punters a very, very, very wide space to comment in but we won’t bother with out right lies or gleeful malice. We leave that to the Herald comment section.
EDITORS NOTE: – By the way, here’s a list of shit that will get your comment dumped. Sexist abuse, homophobic abuse, racist abuse, anti-muslim abuse, transphobic abuse, Chemtrails, 9/11 truthers, Qanon lunacy, climate deniers, anti-fluoride fanatics, anti-vaxxer lunatics, 5G conspiracy theories, the virus is a bioweapon, some weird Bullshit about the UN taking over the world and ANYONE that links to fucking infowar.

My observations:
Facebook is increasing its appearances on youtube.
Facebook is used by private and government far too much for a first option platform that is slow to deal with faults
and demands registration, so is not a public noticeboard!
Facebook increases your exposure to privacy-killing media so good to be less on it.
Facebook enables people to be net dependent so they don’t use their writing skills or the useful self-controlled communication systems set up last century.
Everything set up this century (almost) turns out to have hooks.
All the internet is developing into be a leg-chain for heavy problems spoiling the good life.
The internet was thought up to for an institution/s eg the armed forces, so is a weapon or useful to be used as one.
Cheers fellow bloggers.
