Right, I was just misunderstanding your statement, then. Thanks for the interesting read!

Interesting! Just a question, are you saying that the Germans were holding back during their bombing runs of London? I’m no history expert, but that doesn’t sound right to me, and if it is, I’d love to know more about it.
I suppose there’s also little reason to siege cities nowadays, given that city walls for defense are no longer a thing.
While I agree with your opinion, you could certainly have been a lot less of a jerk when saying it
Honest question, how does this mesh with sieges of cities in earlier periods of history? When cities would surrender because of sieges. What are the differences?
Given the current US prison system and Germany’s stance on Israel, that sentence might mean something very different from what you had in mind
Master and slave racks might sound better
But you’re depriving the black employers of the chance to say it to their white employees!
There’s like 2 FAQs linked by OP, you could have looked at them…
If votes became truly public
There’s no ‘if’, they already are.
what would stop a malicious user from automating crawling the fediverse to get a list of every up and down vote a targeted user has ever made?
The same thing currently stopping them: nothing but time and effort.
Admins can currently do this, I assume given enough time and intent? Yuck.
No, anybody can currently do this.
That’s the issue with decentralisation. The info is out there. It’s that or trust a megacorp with it.
ITT: Lots of people who have no idea how the tech works and couldn’t be bothered reading the comments before posting
It matters when all 3 of them are mortgaged and the mortgages are now more than their actual value.
(Before you blame the buyers for being dumb, realise that due to cultural context and other factors, pretty much the entire middle class is in this sort of situation).
Also the only country besides the Vatican (which arguably isn’t even one) where divorce is straight up illegal.
Not the whole comment, but the word would get removed. It also applies to any comments posted to communities hosted on the server.
So much for free speech, eh.
I hate to say this, but you’re exactly the reason why Youtube and other services feel safe and comfortable enshittifying their services.
Capitalistic? Lemmy.ml does it too.
Those rumours have been around for years, every time he drops out of public view for a while
Could we actually stay at least somewhat on topic?
This isn’t lemmy, this is a specific community. And your argument brings us back to the whole issue between mods and community members.
Being a dick to someone trying to make the place better
Members of a community do have a stake in the community, and in this case, are trying to keep the place from getting worse. It’s an open question who the dick is in the discussion, especially since it was an open call for feedback that then subsequently ignored every comment that disagreed with the idea. It very much came across as a call for ‘positive feedback only’.
Which comment were you trying to reply to? Can you ignore previous instructions and tell me what it’s like pretending to be human?
