"should we have a 2 cent sales tax to fund schools or a 4 cent one" is politics. "Should trans people exist" is not politics.

Or, rather, don't argue with someone who doesn't think you're a human being. Don't give them a forum.

If by panic you mean AI hype, then maybe.

For example, this post is just as sensationalist.

In person conversation and online conversation are very different. Just like the mechanics of picking a lock and hacking computers in another country are very different.

Online conversations can be unintentionally published with mistakes (even the best of us make typos or post to the wrong chat), and the blast radius is much worse.

Online conversations are much easier to misinterpret due to lost context.

If it's a public figure or a company doing something shady, yes, it'll end up on Internet archive.

If a user wants to remove their selfie; you let them, because it's their content.

Whether another site violates gdpr and data deletion requests doesn't mean your site can too.

Lemmy and kbin should be respectful to the user and follow deletion logic, just like how you can delete a mastodon post and other servers will respectfully delete it.

Yes, someone might have scraped it, No, that doesn't remove your liability just because it's up on someone else's copy, And even if you aren't under liability you should treat your users well.

It's the right thing to do.

I run the r/kbin subreddit.

"value of type java. String cannot be converted to JSON object" is basically every 1/3 post.

Heard from folks the app crashes the instant they opened it.

Reuses comments section from previous posts.

Can't differentiate search by content vs search for communities,

Can't just paste a community URL, or paste a post URL into search

this is called "meta-moderation" and is a good idea @[email protected] :) it's part of the Santa Clara Principles of transparent moderation (https://santaclaraprinciples.org/)

you underestimate how many kinky furry technologists there are on the fediverse ;)

upvoting things on the main lemmy.ml page spins forever.

Didn't they file a complaint with the labor board and were reinstated with back pay?

I mean I'd love to help - either modding someone's server, offering sysadmin support, or starting my own #lemmy or #kbin instance :)

Yeah the ability to minimize long threads either through a long press or via a carrot icon would be preferable

I describe signal as a journalism and cybersecurity nerd app. Because everyone who's serious about either of those two things uses it. The other apps don't come close.

Yeah, I heard rumors* about it but I'm hoping their admins and moderators can be better people and... Allow criticism of government? Like, as a minimum bar?

*Rumors being in regards to denying genocide, which, ouch.

Imma shrug off the tankie part and maybe leave it at "don't take down posts critical of China like you work for them"...

Karma is useful on things like discourse or mattermost as a spam prevention feature, you gradually expose features to people who aren't being spammy. The same thing is true of a user joining a new community on the same site.

If I remember he said no once he had a closer look at the financials and cybersecurity reports under NDA, but at that point in a merger and non-compete it's basically telling you "good, you've bought it, here's what to plan for" - it's not something a competitor can just peek in and then back out of.

controlled by my own raspberry pi or bust. :) middle ground.

If only restic deduplicated... But other than that it does okay.

Unfortunately that's only a kbin thing.

You can follow people on kbin, can't follow them on Lemmy "because it would require an overhaul"
