  • I was coming into this thread to mention buttered popcorn flavor jellybeans.

    It was bad.

  • Hi, it looks like your post got posted twice and is getting reported. You could delete one of them?

  • Thank you for the feedback!

    We’ve refederated with them, blocked that community, and updated this post :)

  • That seems reasonable. While I don't expect those other communities to have much traffic, this achieves the same outcome without a full defederation.

    We've refederated with them, blocked that community, and updated this post. Thank you for the feedback!

  • As some users have pointed out, the instance has a few other communities which, while empty, do not have this same problem. As such, we've refederated and instead blocked that community.

  • Hi @BubblyRomeo@lemmy.world, please don't post the same post in many unrelated communities. People will end up down voting it and reporting it as spam, which means that fewer people will actually see what you're trying to share, especially if your account gets banned for spam.

    A few posts in relevant communities will go further than posting it everywhere.

    You can go back through your posts and delete the ones that are off topic

  • Blocking the individual mirrored communities seems to be a better option than defederating the entire instance in cases like these.

    Since the other communities are all completely empty, I felt that it didn't make much difference either way. The instance has been around for some time. However that is true, we could also stay federated and block that individual community to achieve the same outcome.

  • At the same time, space is a growing industry that will likely change the way we do things on the surface. I'd rather that we have some control over that than leave everything up to the americans. We could also benefit economically and use those funds for projects in other sectors.

    There are also some direct practical applications, like satellite Internet in remote regions, and Earth observation / climate research.

    I don't know how it will all play out, but this seems like a good thing. Why pay musk for starlink and spacex launches when we can set up something for ourselves.

  • Being able to compare between options would help me pick which one I want to use :)

    Alternatively, a way to filter the full list would be helpful. That way I can select the items that I need and see everything that has what I need.

    This for example:

  • It would be cool if there was a table to compare them with, since right now you'd have to open each of them to check.

    Thank you for putting it together though!

  • You can add an image to the thumbnail field to get the best of both options :)

  • I think it's reasonable that some communities will want to cater to a specific topic / group of people. If you want to discuss a similar topic, there's nothing stopping you from posting about it in another community or making your own community/instance.

    If someone doesn't want to engage with you, it's silly to try and force them to engage with you.

  • Was the timing of the protests the problem in your opinion? The way that it was done?

    In your opinion, how should supporters of a party express what they want changed with an electoral platform

  • Not all voters agreed with those protests. Arguably, the candidate would’ve lost by more if they listened to the protests and addressed the issues that were brought up.

    Even if this was true, silencing any criticism isn't the solution. In most parts of the world anyway

  • But in this context you’re referring to the prevention of fascism as “unproductive”.

    I'm saying that if the candidate listened to the protests and addressed the issues that were brought up, they may have gotten more votes. Arguably, having MORE protests may have helped them win if it could convince the leadership to make changes.

    Outcry from supporters is what convinced Biden to step down, which I think helped the Democrats come closer. Protest is important if it can help a party make the right adjustments in their campaign.

    Telling people to stay silent is unproductive.

  • I find this unproductive. People SHOULD ask their elected representatives (and candidates) to improve. I want people to point it out when my preferred candidate does something wrong, because then they're more likely to address it before the election.

    That is exactly how it works. Criticizing the better option of the two will reduce turnout for that candidate. That’s the whole purpose of political campaigns.

    I'm not saying this doesn't happen, but I don't think a significant number of people changed their mind about voting for her because of the protests.

    • Option 1: Politically engaged people don't point out a problem -> The candidate doesn't address the problem -> The average voter doesn't vote for the candidate because of the problem
    • Option 2: Politically engaged people DO point out a problem -> The candidate addresses the problem -> The average voter is more likely to vote for the candidate
