China also appears to be improving on this in real time, though official policy still lags behind e.g. Cuba.
idk, I just know that the old instance already have problems with power users and reifying that will make the problem worse.
I think this was always an intended feature (I’ve certainly been hearing about it for years as something people want/devs want to add), in addition to a user tagging system (i.e. users adding tags to their own usernames (e.g. pronoun tags). the main difference, though, was that it was something the poster or mods/admins could add and not something for the userbase at large to vote on. I think making it a voting system allows abuse. like consider a large group of transphobes adding tags to posts in trans comms, for instance.
a trusted user system is it’s own can of worms.
calling retail workers “managers” was a ploy to get around giving them union benefits.
no, we don’t have downvotes on hexbear and this is what they looked like when we did. it means bad post.
nah, it was a politically conscious choice to set up something like reddit, outside the control of capital and the state. the devs have written about it.
nah, they’re just good at posting. up your game.
unfortunately other data is not encouraging , the number of servers is both down since the exodus and in the recent month.
this is normal. we’ll go through a lot of similar waves. people start servers, realize they’re a lot of work, and then abandon them. servers that foster a healthy community will survive. hexbear’s worst cycle involved losing the entire administrative team just weeks after a large percentage of the website left. don’t sweat the growing pains - work together to learn, grow, and change.
oh interesting. I wasn’t aware of that. thanks!
scaling sort thing? do you have a link describing what you mean?
the British took over Palestine from the Ottomans, suppressed decolonization movements, then partitioned it to form Israel. during the formation of the Israeli state, Palestinians were slaughtered and driven out of their homes in an event known as the Nakba - which translates as "The Catastrophe". since then, there have been a series of wars resulting in the slow but steady encroachment of the Israeli state - look ip maps of the region over the decades - and the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. in such an atmosphere, nothing but mutual hate is possible.
it was a concerted strategy on the part of the republicans who made anti-abortion policy a cornerstone of their platform while convincing pastors to preach about how it was a sin.
"hearing out all sides" somehow invariably turns into siding with whoever controls the most capital - I wonder how that happens.
you should look up his foreign policy
lol the US security apparatus is bad but it's not that bad. you might get put on a watchlist though.
nothing shitty about it. controlling nukes ends the occupation. Palestine is the greatest concentration camp on earth. there is no price too high to pay to end that. it must end.
unironically, nothing would end Israel's belligerence faster
wait, no, this is how everyone does math. right? …right?
