Yes but… isn’t the whole point of liberalism “personal liberty above everything, keep regulations to the extreme minimum”? To me that feels like a vegan that randomly decides eating one type of meat is ok.
Re-reading the survey, if the options were only Conservative, Moderate and Liberal I can understand why some leftwing religious people would choose that, but it still feels weird to me.
Like, in my mind the opposite of Conservative is Progressive, not Liberal. That’s the opposite of Authoritarian.
In a long term strategy, if leftists refuse to vote for Democratic candidates who are too far right, then the Democrats would have to either try to appeal to the Trump demographic (which they do unfortunately do), or appeal to the leftist demographic until they get the leftist votes back.
You said it yourself. They have two choices and they’re currently doing the worse one. What makes you think they’ll change their mind along the way?
The fact that we invented so many voting systems that work better than the current ones, but pretty much every nation with actual elections keeps using the same old flawed methods is really disheartening.
I’d say it’s fair to say “there has been a migration” from Lemmy to Facebook, in that case.
It’s not like the definition itself matters though, the important thing is the end user experience and that’s pretty much been replicated with a community of that size.
Less than 100 times. That was a high estimate. Top post in the past 24h has like 900 upvotes, that means 9 times at a bare minimum estimate.
And no one expected the whole community, or even a majority, to move to Lemmy. There was a (partial) migration, and to the end user it doesn’t mean that much if their post is viewed by 100 or 1000 people. A hundred people are plenty to just discuss a tv series.
It’s 100 daily interacting, which is much more than 100 subscribers. And Reddit doesn’t have daily users statistics so you can’t really know how many of those 700k are still using the site. Some might have not even logged for the past 14 years. I’d say actual daily users are less than 10k, maybe not even 2/3k looking at upvotes.
The statistics are not comparable, but as long as a community managed to form in here I’d say it’s still a success.
Depends on what your standard is, to me a community on here having 100+ daily users is already a huge success. I don’t think people expect the whole subreddit to migrate, just enough to have roughly the same amount of content/interaction.
Lemm.ee still shows up as “private” in the Observer, but I don’t know how I missed .ml being in France (I really doubt they somehow “ moved” the server). Checking again you’re right though, the situation got a lot better over time.
A small instance has a higher probability of the owner stopping maintaining it. Obviously this doesn’t apply if the instance is yours, but I’m not tech-savvy enough to do that.
Uhh… most people I’ve seen on Lemmy are condemning the genocide in Palestine. Same for the war in Iraq. Where are you getting all those “USA Good” comments? I constantly see people complaining about it.
And (by how I understood it) the point of the I1I1 plate was that it wasn’t easily discernible and the camera couldn’t identify it correctly to link it to the owner, but the police knew who it was nonetheless because it’s always the same guy that already got caught. I might be wrong though, it’s just a funny comic and isn’t probably meant to be looked into that deeply.
