News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Does this not break the lemmy world TOS, classifying as doxxing and/or attacking a group of people?

I'm a new user and, like an adolescent being new to life, I need to calibrate my psyche by seeking out the limits of the space I'm operating in. Thanks.

These people are public officials, paid by the US government, having a public email addresses is the most common thing in every democratic country.

I don't know where you see an attack on a group of people here, but if you paid any attention lately, they are the ones attacking the population.

Welcome to the adolescent life. The world we are in right now as nothing to do with the world of the past 50+ years. Fascism is back, officials are making nazi salute, USA is threatening to annex Canada, supporting dictators, and attacking the very existence of minorities. I'm sorry to tell you, but you will have to pick a side, quickly, because some really bad things are coming up. Learn to intellectually protect yourself, Find RELIABLE source of information, educated yourself, don't fell for demagogy. That would be my best advice, good luck.

is this seriously it? 26 people are supposed to know enough about the inner workings of all these departments to be able to fire staff?

there is not even an attempt to appear competent

Been a minute since I've seen that. And that's actually one huge advantage of the Fediverse. There can't be a [Removed by Lemmy] because 'Lemmy' is a federation of servers with their own rules and regulations and aren't even all based in the USA. And if any server starts these shenanigans, you can just move to another.

Although I do wish that profiles and comment history could be preserved from one server to another. That's basically the last piece of the puzzle that would give the user a completely a completely free experience.

Just allow people to bring their own IDs to servers. Self sovereign IDs, or SSI for short.

Blockchain has a usecase here, and it would be for disabling your ID in case of privkey leak, or for having people or entities strengthen or verify your pubkey or tie a hash of your birth certificate to it.

Blockchains are great for providing reliable immutable and verifiable timestamps of data. The reason they are safe is because a lot of people have tied actual value to it, and thus most don't want to invalidate the blockchain and destroy their value.

Lemmy added export data import data features I think. That’s plenty.

I’m not even sure on anonymous Internet forums what I would want to move.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Yeah it's nice to be able to import your list of subscriptions at least. But for comment history, I guess it depends what you're getting out of a place like this. On Reddit, I liked going back sometimes and seeing what I was posting a couple of years ago. Especially if it's personal shit, or even old review posts for movies or whatever. I like having a stable online presence or identity with a history to refer to.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

Huh, I’m the opposite. I wipe all my info every year just to prevent being tracked. If I want to remember something I save it to my note taking app.

Of course Steve Cuckman would be the first to try and cover this up.
