  • Former vlemmy user here, was very miffed when it vanished without a trace and with no warning.

    Honestly, I think Lemmy needs something equivalent to the Mastodon Server Covenant.

  • No, because you're charging people the same effective rate regardless of their ability to pay.

    Someone in the 0.1% of the 0.1% can afford to give a lot more of their income than someone in the bottom 25%. As such, a flat tax rate would negatively impact lower income taxpayers compared to high-earners.

    Hence why I described it as "regressive" in my earlier comment.

  • The same way I answer everyone else:

    "Fine, relatively."

  • The issue with a flat tax system, though, is that the value behind each dollar is different for different classes of people.

    $20 is chump change for a billionaire. $20 for a middle class person might be some nice takeout for an evening. $20 could mean whether or not a working poor person can eat that day, or if they have to save what money they have for rent or electricity.

    A flat tax system isn't actually "flat", not in practice. It'd be more accurate to describe it as "regressive".

  • I deleted my account around the start of the original blackout, and from then only really checked r/ModCoord & r/Save3rdPartyApps. These days I only really briefly pop into r/ModCoord to check for any updates on the situation.

  • Admittedly, I wasn't around for a lot of them, so it's nice to see what I missed out on when I was a little too young to be aware of memes.

  • I wonder if there's any particular reason why Jewish people are more averse to corporeal punishment than others? Don't suppose any can offer some insight?
