In lemmyverse? This thread seems to be one? :) everyone looks to be respectful so far.
Other than that the communities I subscribe to…
it really caught me off guard when I saw comments directly attacking Mystic without even addressing the question, I was not prepared for this shit! Like if there was some history that I missed and I just relit an old flamewar or something
EDIT: yeah I just scrolled down… nevermind my first part of this message
After reading the comments on YPTB I can only say this: the f is wrong with some people… I must be living in some bubble where people can have sane reasonable discussion even if they disagree.
I understand you are trying to build communities and defend them against users with ill-intent. I don’t know what your ambitions are as far as the target size of these communities goes, but I just thought that banning users like described simply sends a bad message and, unfortunately, brings unnecessary attention to your person (especially if user does not agree or understands a reason for a ban). Forgive me for inadvertently being a part of the problem.
On the other hand, if you are right that some users made it a hobby out of downvoting all posts from your community and we both want to provide a space for it on Lemmy (on any instance), then this potentially calls for some software feature? Like joinable, discoverable but semi-private communities that don’t appear on "all" with limited voting and posting rights for non-members? I don’t know - you tell me what would be your dream scenario! But definitively I don’t believe you can have it both ways, be totally open and not exposed, especially for controversial themes.
Lastly, allow me to address you as a person. Please don’t understand me wrong as my wording might upset you but I really mean good for you. If you are going through some hardships in your life - don’t ever let the trolls see you are vulnerable. In general, the social media, be it federated or corporate, is not a good place to seek support or publicly confess intimate details of your life. If you really have to because you find that helpful, at least make a second account not used for moderation. Don’t feed the trolls.
Love.
P.S. - you can probably unban me if you are not mad at me, I promise to behave ;)
It’s worse than that, according to the article the idea is to literally steal a part of current tax revenue of the member states and redirect it directly as an EU budget. This proposal will not go through, it would be extremely strange if member states agreed on this.
If this goes through, I expect a closer look will be taken on other predatory practices concerning selling software (which games ultimately are) and possibly a precedent allowing to clearly put a hard stop to American understanding of "copyright" (as a "right to copy") and full embracement of native European originated "authorship rights", backed by current existing law for many many years in many of the members states. US anti-piracy organizations will not be happy, so following this line of thought - please prepare for a hard, dirty, unfair fight, with suspicious figures appearing with their backing to sabotage our efforts.
Longshot, but with this said, VP mentions SKG? That’s good, we need publicity! Let them understand we cannot be ignored and you don’t mess with gamers who were trained by their love for gaming to be stubborn, resilient and never give up.
This is important:
… but it's clear MEPs are becoming aware that they need to engage with the issue and work out where they stand.
Uhmmm… I am not an expert, but what if use a second drone, one for TX and one for RX? Isn’t it just what IceEye does in the space with satellites? With GPS based time synchronization this could not only be feasible but at least decrease the noise floor from lack of TX-RX leakage. Would it also increase the angular resolution? Any other benefits?
I might be wrong but I feel that anarchy is on slightly different axis (like x vs y) than simple left/right divide, but definitively more to the left than right. Different means, similar goals?
I yield to more experienced anarchists here for explanation, I’m just learning to be one!
However, I remember one trip with my dad when I was a teen. We were talking, I can’t remember about what exactly, him exclaiming "You must be some kind of anarchist!" to summarize my own worldview stuck with me to this day.
When I was applying to this instance, this has somehow resonated with me
GG is around for over 25 years AFAIK :) It was dominant communicator used in Poland before Google and Facebook came. Those were different times and GG was most probably owned by someone else, it was also called GaduGadu.
Just do the same as PH and similar do? They would have a hard time shutting down whole other industry like that.
