Nah. It's like anywhere else, the loud kinda dumb fucks in the group are trumpers. Don't mistake Twitter for the scene.

The flight against authoritarianism doesn't end. Ever. We could be in an anarcho-communist eutopia, there would still be those who seek to wield power over others.

Changing it is very difficult. It takes 2/3rds of our legislative branch agreeing. We don't see that much.

I think most eth-based transactions happen on different layers and then get settled on the main layer periodically. Same with Bitcoin, come to think of it. TPS doesn't seem like a particularly useful number these days.

 

Many Minnesota based corporations have resumed donating to election deniers, thinking we wouldn't notice.

Another web developer here, that is how the California and European rules are interpreted. If we're acting in good faith we do not store anything.

Maybe you can find a way to argue user settings and session cookies don't require consent, but I am not a lawyer and I err on the side that doesn't put me out of business.

 
 
 
 

TLDR: 3 people working together can gatekeep content on the "active" and "hot" feeds on smaller servers/communities.

After some playing around, I noticed posts disappear after reaching a threshold. A quick search later and I'm in the Lemmy docs reading about how this all works.

In plain English, any three people working together (or one person with three accounts) can stop posts from appearing on the default feed. Once a post reaches -2 it will only appear to people who browse "new." Edit: Of course, it reappears after it climbs above -2, but it's a race against the clock.

As a smaller server, we're vulnerable to this. But we also have some extra mitigations - namely, @seahorse@midwest.social has to approve everyone who joins, and that might weed out bad actors.

So what can you do? Upvote content liberally, downvote sparingly.
