working hard and nepotism aren't mutually exclusive

In US/Europe when cops would do this in bathrooms, parks, bars, bookshops etc they'd get the BJ first before doing the arrest/beating/robbery/roughride.... you know to really be sure the guy was for real. Mostly stopped since the 90s.

For scale:

According to wikipedia the population of finland is 5.6 million.

But the defendant still has to put the funds up in the first place? It's a huge gamble and most people don't even have the ante available.

Is there anywhere in the world that has a robust and comprehensive public funding for legal entanglements of all types?

Have any of these referendums happened? I have not been able to follow all this

I think that would be great!

Not that it wouldn't be worthwhile anyway, but as a general thing, changes which greatly improve accessibility for some tend to be positive for everyone. I think that above post really demonstrates that. The /r/Blind users were using the same 3rd party apps as everyone else. Contrary to what reddit is trying to say, there are not particular "accessibility"-only apps. Like there's no daisy reddit. Being accessible was part of the general high quality, thoughtful design. And now they are being told to use the same low quality, shitty tools which nobody else wants to use, but they can't use. Accessibility goes hand in hand with quality. No news to you I'm sure.

I would be shocked (and sad) to learn if the devs here wouldn't appreciate PRs from a knowledgeable contributor along these lines. I think it could be hard to prioritize doing these things already because of how many bazillions of communications are coming in from people who are already using the platform. And if the main dev doesn't have expertise in this area it is also easier to apply oneself to the many problems you do know how to solve rather than going off on a research project.. (I have no idea about the skills of the kbin devs.)

you can but preserve your sanity and stay away from it

I also find it interesting that lack of mod tools is a big complaint of reddit but it seems that lack of mod tools is immediately an issue on kbin/lemmy.

But the decisions made on one vs the other are moving in the opposite directions.

This is a new town, not a razed town.

when I start writing this comment, the post is 47 minutes old. if I understand the linked page properly, lemmy.world has been functional (all green checkmarks) for the past 10 minutes which is the furthest back the data goes. All the other instances are all green except for lemmy.one which is all red. I am assuming that 47 minutes ago, lemmy.world had red boxes?

Maybe a different link would have explained the point better but I don't really see how a 30 minute (??) server outage during an upgrade is compelling to avoid a large instance. Are you suggesting it's better to use a server whos admins don't upgrade? If not, is there really any size of server that would meaningfully avoid this kind of occasional disruption? Seems to me that the dynamism of the environment will inevitably lead to various problems. That's part of the experience. TBH threadiverse uptime on the whole is pretty impressive for such a ragtag groups of admins and devs.

I have accounts on some smaller servers but they have their drawbacks too. Using a bigger server is more convenient because the people and content is already there. It's easier. I didn't plan to use lemmy.world but I ended up making account there to use sometimes.

I think in a year or so the situation might be different. I see the ideological point and I would like it to be true. Maybe the technology will catch up. I think it would be nice to be able to programmatically seed content, but maybe that would be obnoxious to admins.

I think this is the most level headed pro-mbin comment I ever read.

If the project could attract and retain more of this energy it would only be a good thing.

Reddit demonstrated some accessible designs

no they didn't

, the meeting highlighted Reddit's prioritization of user accessibility over moderator accessibility,

wrong, they aren't caring about anyone's accessibility

tldr: reading the last paragraph (traditionally known as a "conclusion") would be more useful than reading dumb bullshit chat gpt

I don't have a play store link if you do please post it for those in need

a lot of pups

I found there was too much cat stuff on threadiverse at first. I enjoy a cat in a box or a cat on a keyboard or "this is my life now" or even wearing a kitten as a hat here or there but the whole things was cats cats cats with arch linux memes mixed in.

a pup fucking a pumpkin

oh pups. lol.

Id like to see instance names eveywhere it is relevant. Usernames, communities etc.

I have this issue intermittently. Admin/devs are aware of it.

Sometimes it is fine for a long time while, but then I start having to relogin after <5 mins. Idk if the difference is on my side, the instance, or something in between.

It's a bit weird to only be on discord don't you think?

do they just post their code in a chat or something?

PSA: The shitty website this person mentioned bears NO RESEMBLANCE to reddit.

It's always been S---------- 2.0 anyway

that is a really fucked up thing to say. idk who you are or what are your motivations.

making an equivalency between reddit and a 100% white supremacist nazi website is:

a) promoting that website

b) saying that website is similar to reddit. Does S----------- have the variety of users and topics as reddit? No! Whatever your criticism of reddit, however over tolerant reddit was of some really shitty communities, it was not founded explicitly and exclusively as a way of promoting genocide and violence.

Your comparison serves only to uplift S------------. Which may or may not be your intention.

It seems like the absolute most chaotic decision for anyone. Any community where any tension exists will be having constant campaigning for recalls.

The king is instituting one component of democracy because he thinks the peasents will vote his way for one specific issue. But even in the immediate term this will cause more grief than the reddit blackout ever did.

I can think of a few specific communities where there has been significant long term resentments against the mods. Particularly as the mods have enforced rules on the community to avoid being kicked off reddit. I bet within 1 week, all or most of these will have mod recall votes going to remove the mods. If successful the subs will be full of reddit rule breaking straight away. The new mods will not mod.

Its really hard to tell if he just wants the website out of his life or what. Maybe buddy just needs a change personally.

Fediverse boycott did it!

Lol jk

Good news tho. Hope everyone over at zuck corp is starting to feel bad about themselves again.

I love wearing a mask it makes me feel like a ninja
