- Comment on Steam is 'an unsafe place for teens and young adults': US senator warns Gabe Newell of 'more intense scrutiny' from the government if Valve doesn't take action against extremist content 21 hours ago:
that’s fair, i’ll edit to say speaks unclearly rather than misspeaks. thanks for the clarification :)

@Kecessa@sh.itjust.works misspeaks when saying “public space”—the term they are thinking of is “public forum.” source
The rules around what constitutes a true public forum and what the public forum doctrine even means are fuzzy, but in all cases the term refers to a space owned or created by the government.
Thus, a shopping mall, parking lot, or internet forum, being owned by a private company, is not a public forum and can’t really be defended on the basis of the public forum doctrine.
Finally, as @Blazingtransfem98@discuss.online points out, none of this matters anyway in cases of incitement to imminent lawless action like threats or terrorist speech, which the First Amendment does not protect.

yeah that’s… interesting
maybe not dystopic still but idk how thats even getting any ROI lol

First paragraph is news to me genuinely :0 I thought that was obvious I guess
Without knowing more about the virtual shinies I guess I can’t give a full opinion, so fair. In my head I was comparing them to the “subscriber for 18 months” badges YT and Twitch give you, which aren’t all that destructive.

Sigh.
I always get downvoted for these takes but…
Your favorite YouTubers don’t do it for free. They need to eat too.
And sure, absolutely call out shoddy business practices from Google in other areas, call out invasive ads and tracking. Call out their monopoly and all their other abuses!
But this? This is just marketing, and marketing that you are quite free to ignore at that. Is it weird? Sure. But is it dystopian? Hell naw. It’s about creating the funding that allows your content creators to feed themselves.
I am begging you to post stuff like this to !mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world instead. This is just depressing.

there is no rule 5 dawg

Thanks for the example.
Kbin users seeing who downvotes their posts is potentially an issue, but I don’t want to discourage downvoting bad or harmful content for just that reason. The end goal is that bad content gets removed and offending users acted on. So if a Kbin user is abusing the system to harrass or abuse, they should likewise reported and banned.

Yeah I agree, I think that you might be just applying your correct opinion to the wrong conversation 👍

I think the key is to take whatever space is necessary not to make the problem worse for mods. None of those verbs are requirements but rather suggestions to improve the quality of your report.
I welcome any changes to the language to make that more clear though for sure. 👍
- Comment on [Open to workshopping] PSA for reporting best practices 6 months ago:
I would push back and say that if something is already so bad it’s worth reporting, it’s not weaponization to also simply downvote.
Unless you were already weaponizing the report feature which is pretty much not a good thing lol.
- Comment on [Open to workshopping] PSA for reporting best practices 6 months ago:
Some instances allow a poster to see exactly who downvoted them.
Source or example? 😧 This is new to me.
Encouraging downvotes was a suggestion from the mods, but I will take this into account.
- Comment on [Open to workshopping] PSA for reporting best practices 6 months ago:
It’s probably not so much an oversight as a natural consequence of the open nature of Lemmy. Same reason DMs on here are not technically private. Even if you implemented an anonymous report feature, instance admins could probably identify the user easily.
- Comment on [Open to workshopping] PSA for reporting best practices 6 months ago:
I have also seen temp bans put in for users abusing the report feature to win arguments
