I mean, I think reading has become even more important now that a lot of what we do and see is in the “screen world”… I just fear that social media and in general the clickbait culture brought people to only read/understand what aligns with their beliefs. And sadly older generations are just as affected as younger ones.
Haha, your post that’s “been up for a month” has been up for a week dude. Don’t just lie to me, it’s silly.
…are you able to read? “one of the top posts on .world for the past month” means that, among what has been posted in the past month, that post is one of the most upvoted. I never referred to how long it’s been up, I’m just saying that being an extremely popular post, it’s impossible for admins to not have seen it. And yet it’s still up, with comments full of insults for the CEO. Which means those comments are perfectly okay.
Also, you’re comparing the OP which is for ALL OF Lemmy.world, to the post you linkedbon Reddit, which is for a single Popculture related subreddit? r/Popculture is just one sub my guy.
The r/popculture mods are acting after being specifically notified by Reddit Admins about it. Which means they explicitly told them they’re not okay with those things.
Do I have to highlight what YOU quoted?
We are generally aiming to avoid content organizing, glorifying or suggesting to harm people or animals, but we are limiting the scope of our ToS to build the minimum framework inside which we all can have discussions, leaving a broader area for moderators to decide what is and isn’t allowed in the communities they oversee.
It literally says that it’s allowed.
and for goodness sakes, don’t beat around the bush like this. Make stark definitions so we all know what ball game we’re playing and why.
There is a stark definition. Don’t talk about killing people that are currently alive. That’s it.
I’m seriously worried about most commenters here’s reading comprehension. This whole post is saying “you know all the stuff mods deleted recently? We had a talk and 99% of that is now allowed” and people are still acting like this turned into some insanely policed pro-capitalism instance.
Are all these people really that upset at not being able to use this specific instance to convince people to kill more CEOs? I mean, if someone is already that fed up with the system I don’t think a random Lemmy comment is what will push them over the edge.
What would the double standard be? Defending the US healthcare system is deranged behavior but doesn’t qualify as “advocating for violence” under any standard.
And besides, you can hardly defend it without blatant misinformation, and that’s banned anyway so it doesn’t really make a difference.
Talking about the concept of jury nullification, about the times where it was applied, and how it could be applied to current cases are all allowed, according to what they wrote.
The only thing that’s not allowed is using it as a motive to incentivize future crimes (violent ones specifically, as other types of crimes would obviously not fall under “advocation of violence”). Aka “they should kill (guy), whoever does it will probably not even go to jail because of jury nullification”.
I can understand (though not agree) with banning clear advocation for violence of CEOs, but the “I haven’t had a reason to smile this much in a while” message that got the user banned was too far.
Was that from a mod or an admin? From what I understood, the ToS explained here would allow a comment like that, but mods could still decide to remove it according to community rules.
From what I understood, nothing is specifically related to him, it’s more about the discussion that comes from that.
Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but from what I grasped the tl;dr is “CEO dead? Great!” = ok / “CEO dead? Great, they should kill more of them!” = not ok
Yeah, he might be at least top 50 but there’s no way he’s second (nor is Trump first) with all the horrible dictators running countries around the world.
only affect change if they become violent (see george floyd)
Did those even change anything, actually? I just remember some statues being torn down and the police just doing their business as usual. They also need to be aimed at the correct targets for them to be effective.
Do you have proof that this is fiction? I don’t think so. There’s no proof that it isn’t either, sure, but this sub is mainly just for laughs and the story doesn’t require being true for it to be funny.
Coming into threads and posting stuff like that is like going into malls at Christmas just to tell kids that santa isn’t real. (Or worse, since you don’t even know if you’re right in this case).
The definitions of several concepts are fuzzy, and therefore can be circumvented or challenged or abused by all sides of the equation.
They are, but it’s not like they’re very definite nowadays either.
What is a ‘similar product’ that is allowed after 30 years (and therefore what is a ‘dissimilar product’ that would be forbidden before),
I’d say “similar product” is anything that doesn’t try to pass off as the original one, and is mechanically different enough. Palworld for example, or all the other Pokéclones that popped up in recent years.
how would a non-profit that just pays high salaries to its managers fare between the marks of 30 and 50 years (and just gives some little money to research or charity).
They wouldn’t, in that period I’d allow stuff like piracy or free cultural events, stuff like that. Obviously the copyright holder would still be able to profit off of their own products, but everyone else would have to ask them to do so.
And again, why give artists and creative companies so much more time of IP protection than we give STEM inventors and companies time in patents (this random site claims patents last 15 to 20 years only) ?
Because those are things that humanity needs to progress. I do think they could be longer in a different way, like “they can be used by anyone without consent from the inventor, but they need to pay a small percentage in royalties” or something like that, just to ensure they have a permanent source of income that’s enough to live off. I’m not knowledgeable enough about that to talk though, so I can’t really answer that question without going into baseless speculations.
I still think if copyright laws weren’t so oppressive, 50 years would be fair (And still a huge improvement from the current situation).
Maybe have it in tiers or something? First 10 years: full copyright - until 30: similar products allowed, but no blatant reproduction - until 50: reproduction allowed as long as it’s not for-profit - post 50: public domain?
If we’re talking PvP, battling has constantly evolved through new abilities, even without gimmicks the way the game is played changed a lot through the years.
In single player they also changed a lot of stuff since gen 4, although the positive changes were mostly in gen 5/6 and the later ones like wild areas and the switch to “””open world””” were… not as well received.
You’re reading correctly.
