The Daily Blog Open Mic – 29th May 2025
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.
Appreciate that TDB keeps the Open Mic going—it’s one of the few online spaces left where people can freely exchange views without the heavy hand of over-moderation. It’s refreshing to see a clear stance against disinformation while still allowing a wide range of opinions. Looking forward to seeing what issues readers bring up today.
Does anyone else notice the greasy polite AI line almost the same as last time? Too much sugar weakens ya. And wariness not extreme niceness is needed for the leitmotif.
