I’m the same, I don’t care about the karma aspect, I do care when it is strategically used by hidden interests to keep certain content ranked lower and push content they like up.

I think it’s clear that the answer to that is not enough, so why don’t you point me towards the nearest library with a Lemmy history section?

Ty. That stuff should be available in mobile clients too. It could definitely be better visually represented and contain a reason and a defederated since date or more.
Also an explanation that addresses my other example about downvote brigading a tertiary instance.

Thx. I saw the rule. @ mods I’m fine if you want to remove this.
I think federation needs to be better explained possibly here either with a sticky or sidebar. And a diagram of who we are federated with and not that’s live updated would be helpful too.
Thanks for all the work you guys do

Ok thanks. I’m a little confused by what that means for voting. Is it possible that anti authoritarian posts or comments still get downvote- brigaded by an instance that is technically defederated from the instance of the OP?
So let’s say instance A and B are defederated from each other, but both are with instance C. User from A posts something on C and every B user still gets to downvote everything to oblivion right?
So .ml is effectively r/TheDonald and we can’t do much against brigading?

I don’t remember. I didn’t post it. I saved it, and then it was gone.

Lol
- Comment on How is content like this banned on .ml for being "political"? 1 week ago:
Ok, perhaps I don’t. Can you explain what people mean when they call for “defederating from” an instance then?
- Comment on How is content like this banned on .ml for being "political"? 1 week ago:
Well argued.
I didn’t post it, I just saved it somewhere on .ml and it is gone, and found it back on !progressivepolitics@lemmy.world
My question stands though, I sense that “political” is used fairly broadstrokely It almost means “complicated, longer than 5 second attention span” stuff.
With political meaning “relating to the government or public affairs of a country”, e.g. a broad definition too. However, a free person being essentially abducted on the street by plain clothes “law enforcement” could perhaps be seen as a humanitarian, civil liberty, freedom of speech, and some many others before it being just “political”.
Is there a guideline on Lemmy why we let the tankies be part of this or is a bit of an analogy to the r/TheDonald situation on Reddit? As in: I hope that we don’t slide the same way.
- Comment on How is content like this banned on .ml for being "political"? 1 week ago:
I’m not complaining about bans. I’m trying to have a debate on why tankie-land needs to be part of this?

The Fourth Reich is being established under our eyes. What’s the point of social media if a bunch of idiot mods can stop the world from seeing this very essential information?
I would like to have a better definition of what constitutes “political”, what is “humanitarian” then?
Should this be clearly defined per instance?
Like we don’t even have Reddit anymore. All we have is this sputtering slow barely anyone here fresh fragile digital space where we can share some minor resistance, can we at least not have any self sabotage here?

- Comment on Why I recommend against Brave. 1 week ago:
Those are good reasons to ditch a product. Yet, at the same time, inside the Apple ecosystem this is the only browser that allows cross platform watching of yt without any ads, therefore suffocating Google and the fat cat MKBHD influencers from income.
So it’s like an evil to tame another evil to me atm.
Of course the best path forward would be to ditch both Brave and yt and then just get Nebula/patreon or something for serious content browsing.
I’m curious though: if I just use Brace only with a few yt tabs open and never open the new empty tab or visit another site, does Brave get any revenue from me?
- Comment on Tesla Autopilot drives into Wile E Coyote fake road wall in camera vs lidar test 2 weeks ago:
The funny thing is that the YT comment section was almost immediately brigaded by Elmo suckups that complained the tester was using Autopilot and not the latest version of FSD, completely forgoing the point that the LiDar vehicle stopped despite any automation systems being turned on.
This was a test of the emergency braking systems of both cars in as close to real world scenarios as possible. Whether you run over a child in heavy rain or dense fog should not be dependent on whether the driver remembered to turn certain safety systems on prior to departure.
It’s a massive fail for Tesla, and it is the closest scientific proof that the Elmo is a rich daddy boy with shit for brains. Once you have that level of money and leverage, you simply can make the most stupid decisions ever, and keep falling upwards. Meanwhile real people are dying almost weekly in his vehicles, and reporters and news organisations are scared shitless to report on them because he can cause lots of pain with his imaginary cash. Not to mention no govt agency will investigate properly because he’s got root access to that too. All those deaths are entirely preventable.
Keep burning them, keep protesting at the dealerships. This truly could be the first billionaire we bring down. Watch him activate the OTA kill switch in every Tesla before they go under too. He’s thát kind of baby. Ironically that would save a lot of lives.

- Comment on Pod of 157 dolphins stranded on remote Australian beach 1 month ago:
We have had beachings of one species or another and always in large numbers over the last few years. There’s not enough funding to explore why it happens.
It could be the climate emergency, the use of sonars on ships that throw off their navigation, it could be the drifting of the magnetic poles, or simply geologic. That part has an interesting combination of bathymetry and very strong currents.
Or a combination of a number of these factors.
