Behalve het voorwaardelijk sepot zijn er ook nog sepots waardoor deze journalisten hun onschuld niet konden bepleiten. Strafblad.

We need some kind of dashboard online with an overview of all the events on a timeline, just like you created.

Or a smartphone app that only pushes trial news and updates.

If he gets arrested later when he surrenders, beside a mugshot, do they also weigh Trump? Measure his height?

when used properly

That's the problem. Downvotes often aren't used properly.

No account needed.

1. Select the triple dots menu in Voyager to copy a link to your OP
2. Visit kbin.social
3. Enter the copied link in the search bar
4. Open your OP
5. Click 'more' and then 'activity'
6. Click 'favorites'

You'll see a list of all accounts that upvoted your OP. Why this isn't possible on Lemmy is completely unclear to me.

Just like I don't understand why Lemmy allows for downvotes. It's not valuable and induces toxic behavior IMO.

It's also possible to view what account upvoted you by viewing your post on a Kbin instance.

I think it's rather silly that this information is obfuscated on Lemmy.

And it's only possible to upvote on Kbin. Which makes more sense to me as well.

It's not an AUTOMATIC disqualification, it still needs to be adjudicated

I might have mistaken what was written, but the scholars in the paper explicitly point out section 3 is 'self-executing'. _{Which means it does _not_ require adjuducation.} I was mistaken, see comment below.

If it happened before, that doesn't mean it was necessary.

Voyager is now available as a native app in the app/play store

Voyager is extremely impressive for what it is - webapp

It's not only a webapp anymore, but also available as native app now

For those who are interested: MSNBC publishes a podcast called "Prosecuting Donald Trump" and the episode dated August 1st features former federal judge Michael Luttig who is interviewed about various subjects, including his tweets concerning the standpoint of Eastman in January 2020 that implied Trump could have Pence declare the election invalid. Which was nonsense.

You don't need to. Voyager was just released in the app store

So, now instances are hosting posts and comments that a user deleted on another instance. But that user has no way to 're-delete' the OP and comment.

Now what?

I guess the instances might cross check the existence of OPs and comments on other instances, but the longer this problem exists, the larger the problem.

It’s a known issue:

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1637

The point I’m trying to make clearly isn’t understood.

What I read are lots of Lemmy fans that don’t think through the lack of migration tools or blocking DMs are serious shortcomings and it obviously makes no sense to continue developing a front end if these aren’t fixed first.

But apparently many people think that’s very logical.

I hope you can come here again once the platform is a bit more polished.

Thanks and I hope so too. I’ve given it a try for four weeks.

That said: people respond with ad hominems on Lemmy as well. In fact, one of the comments to my OP is only ad hominem.

I think you cannot directly dictate what should be done

Of course, but that’s not the point of this post.

none of these issues are deal breaker

Imagine setting up a community, having thousands of subscribers and the administrator of the instance your community is hosted on pulls the plug.

And yes, I know people can host their own instance (see OP). But that won’t happen.

You’re not discussing the issue I bring up, but me.

That isn’t something I’m interested in, but some people clearly find it difficult to refrain from doing that.

Goodbye.

That’s not the point.

The donation page ‘rewards’ those with a mention, but doesn’t allow development in a certain direction.

You give money, but those who receive it get to decide what they do with it. Look at the GitHub page and check for yourself what is being done with that money.

Again, it’s their choice, but I think they should focus on much more fundamental issues. If the foundation of your house is missing, what’s the point of adding fancy woodwork to the outside? Or donating to a project where people decide they want to spend it on fancy woodwork while leaving the foundation problematic.

What I wrote was:

and therefore my critique is obviously unfair to sone extent: who am I to point out what’s wrong with Lemmy?

But you didn’t cite that. Is there a reason to leave that out of your citation?

You’re completely missing the point. Going back to Reddit isn’t contradictory, because the number of users far exceed the downsides.

Good to know it’s possible to delete an account. Did you actually try it or are you only looking at the user interface? Because I know there’s a button. That’s not the issue.

Did you review the Patreon page? I’m not interested in having my name displayed. I’m interested in having the developers take a certain direction.

Donating for hardware (like donating to Lemmy instance administrators) is also completely different.

But donating to some group of developers without being able to influence the direction of development really feels like a money pit to me. I’d rather spend my money on charities. Access to dev chatroom is the closest you can get.

My point with regard to Voyager is: there’s no point in building a beautiful house (because Voyager is very good), if you know the foundation of the house is missing.

And specifically the lack of migration tools is a very fundamental issue IMO. Yes, it might be developed in the future. But it might also take years, who knows.

Mastodon still doesn’t allow quote posts (some clients do though) because quote-tweets (or should I say quote-Xs?) can be used in a toxic way. Development promised to implement them in the back-end months ago, but it still isn’t possible. Searching is also absent on purpose. Those are fundamental issue that block further growth of Mastodon IMO. But that’s obviously just my opinion.

That’s why I think Voyager devs should spend time on Lemmy development IMO. Without a fundamental tool to migrate accounts and communities, there’s really no point in spending time on Voyager features.

I think most Lemmy users haven’t experienced an instance administrator suddenly quitting. Think through what would happen to your community if that happens. It’s gone. That’s what happens. Unless you decide to host your own instance of course, but try and get users attracted to it.

Just to be sure.

Nobody thinks it's a good idea to improve education, medical care, urban problems, rural poverty, transportation, Medicare, Medicaid and labor unions? Right?

I'm asking for somebody else.
