  Don’t ask for permission … ask for forgiveness

  The age old mantra of authoritarians and corrupt officials. What use is it to point out wrongs from the past if nothing will ever be done about it … and worse will be repeated again in the future?

      I added some code to PieFed which automatically deletes posts by new accounts that self-delete. It worked so I had to use my lemmy.world account to reply.

    How did you know they were going to do that?

      We have someone who does it every day. Makes an account, posts lots and lots, then deletes their account.

  Sweden didn’t do anything in response to covid and it wasn’t any worse there than places that took extreme precaution

    Sweden has 10 million people and lots of space, even in the cities. Public transport there isn’t even close to being under capacity

    What are you talking about? We cancelled all public events and asked people to not have parties. We also encouraged people to get the vaccine among other things.

    When the government asks people to do something in Sweden then most people here will listen and take their responsibility.
