If we call reddit users redditors, what do we call lemmy users
Motorheads, of course.

Or it'll get you a dozen dupes of every submission.

What other less-toxic system could work instead of karma?
Reply in thread
Maybe we could still have karma, but display it as a ratio of good:bad karma or something? Active user and most of your interactions get upvoted, green dot. New user or not active for a while? Gray dot. Established user and all your content gets downvoted all the time, red dot.
Get banned from 50+ subreddits? Your color dot gets changed to a picture of u/spez.

Welcome reddit refugees!
I really need an eli5 for this fediverse thing. I'm here using Jerboa, logged in to lemmy.world. when I try and comment or vote on content on other instances, like lemmy.ml, I'm told I have to log in. Is that a Jerboa bug? Or do I really need an account on each instance to interact?

Working from home
I get yelled at by my wife multiple times a week "Do you have on pants?!". She takes the occasional video call from the other end of the table (ahem, desk).

Lemmy.world active users is tapering off while other servers are gaining serious traction.

There really needs to be some way to..... "federate" logins. Associate your identity on one server with another

Horseshoe Bend (showing spectator area) [OC]
I see there is a railing in the pic. When I visited less than a decade ago there was no safety rail, and nobody there to stop you from being an idiot. Plenty of people seemed to be taking advantage of this at the time.

France’s protests over a police killing, briefly explained
Reply in thread
To a certain degree though, it was a fuck around and find out moment. The driver was operating a deadly weapon (a car), and the police officers warned him to stop, he didn't, and got shot. Nobody is to blame here aside from the driver.

The thread doesn't get deleted - the user just loses the karma. So you post something helpful, it gets a ton of upvotes, and those votes expire over time. I come along, find your post via Google, and upvote you, that is a fresh upvote and counts, until it ultimately expires in six months, weeks, whatever, or gets a halflife as @[email protected] said.

As a moderator, looking at karma is one of the ways we can automate the blocking of potentially unwanted content.

This is something I'm curious about as well. Will there be a dozen (or more) r/food communities, one on each server? That is not only confusing, but can fragment already small communities below critical mass.

Not sure if we're going to run with this, but reserving it for now.

Sure, agreed. In this case however the criminal was refusing to be detained to be prosecuted, and was clearly willing to do anything to avoid it, trying to flee in his car.
As unfortunate as it was, this outcome is preferable to him crashing and killing an innocent victim while fleeing.
