Still no word on where he might be, though? The headline makes it sound like he's now in Singapore, but the body of the article doesn't mention his whereabouts at all.

Because for these places it's about more than just the money. They have an ideological position that drives their choices. They are convinced that Israel will allow them all to keep regional solidarity down, and ensure the region never coalesces into a region bound by common goals, self-determination, and mutual defense. Should it become a Europe type entity, representing middle eastern interests collectively, it will become considerably harder to exploit.

Ah, JUSTICE! /s

Lemmy.ml!!

Its a work of fiction. We made it up. Its false. This one is a lie. Its a total fabrication. Not this time. No way.

Score is relative though. On hexbear we have downvotes disabled. This means we can not down vote but also means down votes do not federate.

Studies have shown that down votes actually have a large psychological impact negatively on the user. Down votes are frankly unproductive. They might also encourage bad behavior, because if your goal is to stir the pot then down votes are a great indicator that it's working.

On hexbear we operate on a fork of Lemmy. One of the changes is to the active algorithm, which makes posts decay faster then core Lemmy. Since the change things move pretty smoothly on the front page.

An automated system of banning is something primed for abuse. We see this already on other platforms that has trigger mechanisms for banning a user pending review. Its a shoot first ask questions later approach that could be weaponized against people.

Echo chamber is a very loaded term. A safe community is a protected community. To someone intruding on a space that values the community it has built, it might look like bad faith action. However, often the inverse is true, and the intruder is the one acting in bad faith. That could mean they willingly or ignorantly disregard the rules of a space, or are unwilling to listen and understand the perspective of a given space, and simply want to argue.

The value in Lemmy is that you can build and curate the kind of site culture and ultimately network culture you desire. If you do not like that culture, you can anyways find another place to hang out.

As it stands, you can implement your ideas using a bot. One thing definitely lacking on Lemmy is a kind of Auto moderator. It should be remembered though that auto moderator was a community built tool until Reddit assimilated it into the site as a core feature.

Laws going unenforced, in America? Never...

Lol good luck.

I stand corrected.

Bro please just bring the workers to a new party, I fucking beg you.

Oh now people care about Operation Northwoods?

Kind of a disappointing read when 2 out of the 3 are not actually services you can use yet.

Lol, don't be a racist.

Could you provide some reading material for those off us who want to have a better understanding of their political process?

Why do you care about seeing downvotes? They're bad for your health anyway.

We have to do it; otherwise we might fall prey to.... Socialism!!

Please verify this. I made the same comment tonight and its still up. In the US.

That's not good. Lithium-ion fires are incredibly difficult to put out.
