Indeed. Activity pub includes favourites and boosts.
Lemmy uses favourites as an upvote. Kbin does too, but kbin also allows boots and it considers that a boost (which is like a retweet) is a more significant endorsement so sorting and reputation is based more on boosts than on upvotes.
Very much so, and equally possible in theory (interference patterns with light exist, light cancellation could work somewhat like noise cancelling) but also equally impossible to do at anything much above an atomic scale.
You are rather missing my point. Because it sorts on boosts rather than upvotes it surfaces different things in the federated 'all' feed.
Edit: As corrected below it's about 10k monthly active users, but that's still circa 10% of the whole threadiverse (kbin + Lemmy) and only Lemmy.world is larger than kbin.social
Have you tried kbin? Same content in that it's Lemmy compatible, but slightly different sorting algorithm which (in my view) seems to result in a more rounded/balanced set of posts being promoted.
Yes there a different set of issues - it's earlier in it's development phase, but developing fast (collapsibling comments is being worked on, API (and therefore 3rd party apps) is imminent, many other improvements are developed and expecting to go live this month...
"Trying to help your boss steal an election is not part of the chief of staff's official duties in serving the presidency. Sounds like the work of the campaign at best, a criminal conspiracy at worst, and the judge says it will stay in the courts in Georgia for a decision."
If he had handled it the way normal people do, through courts
There is more to it than that. He's been blocked from claiming the copyright on his own work since he'd need to dox himself. He can't claim the copyright as 'Banksy' since it's not his real name.
Sales tax is the most obvious example of adding to the cost I've been shown, but it's everything. Here if there is a price on something that is the price you pay. Period.
If I have €5 and the price on the shelf is €4.90 we are all good, and I don't even need to know what country I'm in!
But is is more than that, if I take my car in to be fixed, they have to agree every cost they want to charge me in advance at no point can anything cost me more than I expected and agreed to up front.
Airline tickets, theatre tickets, hospital bills, TV ads, you name it, the price they state or advertise is what I pay, no ifs-no buts.
As a European I'll never cease to find it mind blowing that it is normal for a Americans that the cost to them of damn near everything is more than the cost initially shown to them.
I believe you can moderate a community on/from another instance, so it would be logical if, when agreeing to mutually follow each other, they also agreed to add mods from the reciprocating community?
The Reddit example could have worked the same, but the sub due to scale the equation is different and the benefit of the increased community size is less and the Reddit mods would likely see little benefit Vs the dilution of mod status.
Investing is public transport can be as hard or as easy as you want it to be. Sure building a full on subterranean high density metro system might be the utopia, but actually developing a high frequency, high quality bus route with dedicated bus lanes can be low cost and hugely increase the volume of people carried Vs the lane you took from cars.
Compliment this with docking cycle rental schemes, and some dedicated cycle infrastructure and you can transform how a big chunk of people get to work ...you start to win back the city from one which is built around cars and instead making it a city for people.
Indeed, and for me giving me a rough framework to modify is hugely useful and time saving. As the commenter above said it's a tool, it's not a team member.
Not even modified, capwolf just linked the following week.
