I especially like when they tell me my address lol, as if I’m supposed to be scared into responding.

Exactly what I do, I need a fan and white noise when I sleep. Plus it muffles my chainsaw snoring.

No, but they’ll try because the citizens aren’t rebelling against it yet.

Very concerned. It’s currently a race who can speed run us to extinction first.

Yup, it’s really sad because very few speak out in defense of anyone but themselves. Hell, I saw a user bully another user here and heavily imply they were mentally disabled. A few users defended the bullied user, the bully doubled down. Hours later the bullied user returned to mention they had COVID… so you might imagine the bullying let up, but the bully doubled down, yet again. Followed by more mentally disabled remarks. Looking back, appears the bully stopped using said account entirely and is likely under a new username. But it’s disappointing how few users actually said something. We have to keep this place clean from the shitty old Reddit behaviors.

No, but I might show it now. He’ll be hoping for groin shots, lol.

I was watching my 6 year old nephew and we saw Peter Weller, so I told him that’s the guy who played Robocop. Of course my nephew wanted to meet him, he was nice and asked what my nephews favorite part of the movie was… unfortunately, my nephew excitedly said, “when you shot the bad guy’s wieners off!”

Feel better, I sorta know the feeling, unfortunately. (Influenza and sinus infection) I waited 3 months to go in on the later, so coughing up phlegm like a factory lol.

I had a friend in middle school with the last name, Wakachowski. The math teachers enunciation sounded like, Where’s your house key.

Followed by swiftly terminating itself upon the thought of living alongside us.

Control Panel will likely be on hospice for a few more years

And I’ll keep visiting Control Panel in hospice. Bite me Microsoft.

Beat me to it lol.

The problem with every system is it will eventually be broken down by someone smarter and used to manipulate the user-base that grew to trust its safety to market something. Be it ideas or products, the only true safety net we have is a choice in the decision. The second a choice is forced, is the second groups split away. Each user at least deserves the safety of choice if we expect them to trust in any larger system. Decisions being made by a smaller group of individuals for the larger whole, doesn’t exactly have the best history if we look at the world around us. Don’t get me wrong… Trust would be great, but we have to trust that going from one extreme to another will inevitably create a another new problem.

I hear you, but problem or not, the devs shouldn’t be making major decisions for the user base after the fact. Anonymous voting might be a problem at first, but so will people who are broadsided by the decision. Not to mention the users who will use an open voting system to bully users they disagree with. You have to foresee problems will come with any decision, and a percentage of users will flee for each bad, meaning the safest choice is user base safety over forced decisions. Ultimately sad truth is, leaving things as they are is a much easier call for devs.

Wouldn’t it be easier to leave it as an option for each user on Lemmy?

If users want anonymity, let them have it. If they want to share their vote, let them do that. Forcing one option on others without the voice of the usually silent majority isn’t going to fix anything, it’s just going to scare some people away or start posts requesting it private again; or optional.

Not to mention, using this method you will quickly see how many users really wanted this option based on how many leave privacy enabled or disabled, instead of listening to a current vocal minority.

Imagine it’s like your Rolex. You’re going to really love that.

The fact he said this, makes you want to punch his smug face.

I do know pomegranates are suggested to be avoided, as a lot of medications can be negated if you eat them.

It’s the folly of humanity, to believe the problem will always be the next generation’s problem. Selfish desire first, concern second.
