Basically the company went from “no bullshit” to “just another asset for some capitalist fund who only cares about extracting as much value as possible”
It would be so good to have a no profit owned or cooperative European domain seller
It expresses dissatisfaction with peoples cringe bad takes
I wish this was real. In those cases the right button should be the report button anyway…
Having one vote to incentivize hive mind and another to punish a different opinion is just much more polarizing than having just the incentive only
It’s not rare to see people downvoting someone who wants an honest discussion and bringing their ideas to the table. (to be clear I’m not talking about people wanting to justify their racism or shit like that lol)
everyone freaked out that the communist devs were controlling the narrative or some shit
Hi! As you might remember, i've been pushing for this platform for quite some time so i'll just dump ideas in a pretty annoying way, hope you'll spare me :3
do you realize that the power of the threadiverse is that a forum can even fully exist alone and the federation between them is a plus while for microblogging it's kinda a shit to not have the big reach? basically, are you going to bring lemmy in a ''more forum'' direction or a ''more social'' direction?
will you ever take into consideration to eliminate downvotes? it's clear that the reddit effect is already here and people are not incentivized to read the article and comment on point or discuss less agreable stuff just because posts gets downvoted?
if on my instance downvotes are deactivated, do they still influence my home when I browse subs from other instances that have downvotes?
more UI mod tools! they are never enough because a community manager has not to be also a sysadmin or a linux poweruser just to take care of the community; stuff like subscribing to blocklists and allowlists, stuff like deleting cached media and so on
how is the plugin stuff going?
wouldn't it be better to drop the android client and the federated wiki to fully focus on making lemmy the best federated threadiverse software? now that nodebb has federation the competition is existent (mbin and piefed were never enough e.e) and other frontends are generally cooler (voyager basically brought me back on being active here)
can we have a lemmy-first approach regarding comunication and contributions? basically i don't want to make a github account to push some opinions and it seems like they kinda get ignored when on the lemmy community about lemmy
ability to merge communities having them mirrored in a basic way i guess it's already on his way
would be cool to have tags/flairs but i understand that it is not easy (tags could also become a way to follow stuff on par with communities, with their pros and cons obv)
would be cool to have lists to be able to browse lemmy from lemmy in a more rss way: for example there are communities i want to check once in a while but totally don't want em in my home and having lists would help
changing ''favorite'' posts into ''bookmarks''/''saved''
would be cool to have the possibility to have a favorite users list to check what your friends are up to
any other suggestion would basically be ''can this thing that forums have also be ported to lemmy?'', i just think that lemmy has to evolve into a forum first with a link aggregator ui; it's kinda easy to use discourse as a bug tracker and feature request tracker for example (observation made because of the previous question of using lemmy instead of github for non code stuff)
have you taken into account that maybe offering a service of lemmy hosting managed by you could help?
dulcis in fundo, always about empowering non tech people, what about having lemmy on yunohost as one of the curated methods by the devs?
alright i think it's enough lol; now one very big appreciation: thank you for the rss first approach, having rss for basically everything like it was on reddit (well still miss some query rss but i understand it's harder to do) it's really so fucking useful and cool and i really hope that lemmy will make niche communities shine again
The filter is being a pet peeve of mine too these days
I would like to be sure that I’m filtering stuff but looks like filters on miniflux and freshrss just work on future articles so I should do something like put a filter to an rss feed I control and then post and check if it works
The broader you make a community, harder it will be to feel like you can make a very specific question and it will also be harder to find so we will never have niche content
Pick your poison, I’d go for the slow but steady usefulness
Try to be informed about the stuff you can have an impact on
For example on my rss feed I just wiped out most of the non EU stuff. It’s ok to know that there are wildfires somewhere in the world but being overexposed is really just toxic
I can organize here in Italy, not even the whole of it but my region and the cities I spend time in. It’s much better to know what my little city council is discussing about rather than any even major event but so far from me.
Unluckily, social media doesn’t help too much with curating the feeds but as others said try to work more on mutes and filters. Don’t forget that getting informed is just one tool for change, do not get too high on it :)
Edit and P.S. : it’s also much easier that on social networks driven by engagement algorithms the posts that travel the most are the ones that cause hate/rage and sex or generally emotions easier to exploit online. Newspapers themselves tend to post more negative stuff. It’s just a human bias, take it into account and watch around yourself to find the positive stuff of life
Does your revenue service have a way of monitoring this or would they have to verify each case manually?
Alright, you keep not reading the article (it clearly says that every transaction has to emit both a fattura and a scontrino). And it's not "my"(nor "ours", i'm not involved) service.
This happening in Sicily
The fact that you confuse Sardegna with Sicilia shows even more that you think you know more than you actually do.
To be clear, I don't think that's it's safe from every abuse but as i said for the businesses here it's much easier to just use cash rather than trying to use digital money.
Sorry but really you are making this conversation less a conversation and more a ''i am right and you have to show me i'm wrong''; hence i'll stop answering.
It is very stupid to use a centralized digital coin to avoid taxes while you can just avoid declaring what you earned when you get cash instead of digital payments
Are they checking for sanctions?
I'm not sure what this means
Who in this financial setup is legally required and accountable for making sure they are paying taxes?
In your country companies are legally required and accountable for making sure their user are paying taxes? Here they are required traceability and stuff but it's not their job to do the guardia di finanza job.
Btw if you'd actually read the article there is a part that talks how they make everything traceable and that they also talked with the ''agenzia delle entrate'' that is the italian tax agency themselves.
Honestly i think you are just trying to confirm your biases about italy lol; this stuff has been already regulamentated for years (circuito di credito commerciale) and the only difference that sardex has with other commercial circuits is the fact that they are a fintech and it's actually expanding thanks to the digital capabilities
If you wanna avoid taxes it is much easier to just rely on cash.
Maybe you weren’t born yesterday but you also haven’t skimmed the whole article that also talks about taxes :)
The problem that it solves is not letting the control of who to help and who not in the hands of the banks. Like any good community currency it gives the possibility to make some debt without issues, thanks to the community trust among members
It’s not that easy to have money from the bank without warranties here. They are not gonna lend money thinking “oh yes it’s even better if you cannot guarantee anything so we can make you homeless” because here in Italy they cannot do infinite shit lol (sorry for the phrasing I could write this better prob)
Btw the “mafia” thing sounds like something that someone who knows nothing about Italy would say. Most of all because thanks to the real struggle with mafia in the past we now have a lot of instruments to keep restrain them. Most of the submerged economy is made by regular companies and professionals that here and there avoid declaring their real earnings.
“Random” events of “evil”. Basically I think we’ll never reach something like 0 murders, 0 rapes, 0 stealing for little greed and so on. Or even 0 addiction (edit: i'm not including addiction to the previous list of crimes, i wanted to add it as another class of issues for we will never reach a true 0)
We are very very far from the ideal situation tho, there is a looot of margin of improvement
Like your alcohol thing in the post: ban only makes it worse and still now you (as US, not you OP) have a very weird relationship with alcohol with the thing that minors cannot touch it and people have to drink from a paper bag lol. Let’s say that you are not really trying hard to improve the situation. We’ll never reach 0 alcoholists but society is not in a good shape and alcohol is cheap so ye
In order from little to bigger:
