I have felt more targeted here sometimes for differing in opinion on topics.

Yeah, its rough to find some pure carnivore content for things like kidneys, or even things like fish soup. I get as close as I can and indicate what I would change to push it into the pure territory.

I think its a core design issue; if votes are free and unlimited then they will be gamified, one method to provide a feedback mechanism here is to make votes accountable.

There are other moderation styles, like the slashdot random moderation points, which show some promise.

I’ve seen other gamified models where downvotes are scarce, or cost time, or cost money, so they are reserved for bad behavior.

The design of showing votes on posts makes it a signal, and that signal will be gamified. I think for smaller communities having outside third parties chill participation is bad for the overall growth of lemmy. In the long term I imagine a community level system selected by the moderators would fit best.

examples

• Only people who have posted or commented can downvote / upvote
• Only people who are subscribed can upvote/downvote
• only people who have repetitional guarantees can upvote/downvote
• posts only visible to subscribers

Just trying to get local representation into communities.

etc. etc

To be fair you literally asked to be banned

Ban me too since Vegan Pizza called you out on your nonsense.

My response:

ok! I have banned you per your request. If you ever want to come back, just send me a DM

WRT Vegan Pizza, they only down vote, they did not start a conversation. I’m not sure down voting counts as being called out

Votes are public, they can be seen across different instances, the only thing that’s unresolved is seeing them using the standard Lemmy software as a non admin user.

Sounds like you should have a dedicated AVR device, then the output of the AVR going into a UPS.

That would prevent flapping from destroying your UPS, and if it does kill the AVR it’s easier to replace.

Signal is open source, session copied their entire protocol for their own messaging stack. Client and server

Works great. I’m glad they fixed it so quickly

New pipe has issues too

Freetube still working

The arms race is on!

It’s absolutely FOSS. It is not, however federated. But that is not a requirement to be free and open source software

Think of it like this, Linux is free and open source software, even if I don’t give you a shell on my computer.

You can use the code, however you want, in any project you want.

The back end is open source, but sometimes they’ve lagged years behind releasing the source code. Other developers have stood up copies of the signal network. Session, for example.

You can self host your own signal, but it’s not federated, so you’d have nobody to talk to

Happily many ecosystems will complain if the signing key changes. I.e. android.

1000%. Hot takes, done quick, with a eye towards sketchy monitization.

Not sure I follow your logic. If a signing key is compromised, it doesn’t matter if you have a backup of the signing key, payloads that are signed with the compromised key still look genuine because they have the right key.

If you’re worried about third party services abusing signing keys, you should look into reproducible builds instead.

I’m sure internally they have an internal dollar figure on cost per customer acquired. Such things as marketing, discounts, product availability and different stores, targeted marketing campaigns, B2B sales reps, I.e.identifying corporate customers before they are entrenched with another vendor and actioning on them first.

So in that mental model, each customer acquired has a cost, and the behavior of that customer has a benefit, I suppose what the HP representative is trying to say is the sale on the printer by itself is insufficient to justify the effort and cost of acquiring a customer. They want recurring revenue. Which everybody does

The thing about running your business on other people’s computers, you can’t decide where it gets to run

Iconoclast disruption and government subsidies as a service.

This doesn’t change much. Unless they’re sanctioning the people who live in the illegal settlements. There’s always going to be some people who are willing to take one for the team, and then everyone else can move in afterwards. It’s a feature not a bug
