So … you are basing you hypothesis on an article about Pedophile hunters written in German (or Swiss if you want to get frisky) that you linked using an English headline and summary in a software development community?

I’m surprised that your post wasn’t removed.

I’m mentioning this because it hardly seems like a genuine attempt to learn anything and any assertions you make about voting behaviour has to be suspect at best, not to mention that it’s based on a single example, hardly ever the hallmark of solid statistical analysis.

Let’s move on to the attempted “fix”.

You’re attempting to achieve what exactly?

A relationship between votes and comments?

How do you know how the users decide what to read, vote or comment on? You see a relationship with ordering by votes, I read whatever comes past on my “All feed” and vote when I think the pod warrants it. The two are not the same.

In other words, your proposal seems based on a very poor foundation and I’m voting accordingly.

Thank you for supplying your birthday, please upload a copy of three photographic government identification documents.

Pretty sure that you’re a teenager for seven years, not five.

I have asked for sources when a post makes an extraordinary claim. It’s rare that I get anything meaningful as a response, but often I learn something or both of us do.

My “smart” phone is rarely used as a telephone. It’s set to silent, all notifications turned off, blocks unknown numbers, transcribes voicemail and spends most of the day as a window to the world.

I’m not sure what, if anything, a “dumb” phone would add to my life, except more interruption, more administration to keep contacts up to date, and yet another device to charge and maintain.

I live here and that’s pretty much the case. Mind you, this is the first I hear that we’ve agreed to this and I daresay there will be some vigorous discussion among us Sandgropers.

Incoming tenders with prompt injection in … Three … Two … One.

At best it’s a way to see the world and experience new things, at worst it’s sex slavery.

I’d be extremely careful, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

I suspect that the answer depends entirely on who reports on it first. By the time the rest of the world has had time to catch up, the tone is already set.

For a related concept, consider the use of the phrase “domestic terrorism”.

I moved country as a way to see the world. I left Nederland and started with Australia because I had an Australian passport. I was going to give it a year. I worked six months, was unemployed for 18, then got a three day gig that lasted for six and a half years.

That move was 35 years ago. I’m still in Australia. In the meantime I met my partner, travelled around the country for five years and started my own business 26 years ago.

I visited Nederland four years in, but it didn’t feel like home.

It took many years for this to feel like home, from time to time I’d love to hug my family, but never felt homesick, I love watching YouTube videos of places where I grew up. I’ll visit the local Dutch Shop to remember smells and tastes and to bullshit in Dutch, but otherwise I’ll be doing my Aussie life.

I was born here, but grew up in Nederland.

With the quality of Assumed Intelligence detectors, this is unlikely to ever come to pass, especially since humans are involved.

A bug is a bug. Someone needs to deal with it. The forum is for discussion, a bug report is to advise developers that there is a problem.

As a developer, I’m not looking at forums for bug reports, I’m looking at bug trackers.

This is like banning H₂O, NaCl and C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ from your life because “you don’t like chemicals”.

Excellent.

Unfortunately, I strongly suspect that the depth of the pockets paying for legal fees is likely to determine the outcome, rather than any pesky facts.

That depends …

So … I’ve been making a weekly podcast for over 14 years. For all that time I’ve had complete control over my own content by hosting all the audio, the transcripts, the website and the RSS feeds on an AWS S3 bucket for a couple of dollars per month.

I submitted the RSS feed to several aggregators like iTunes, Spotify, YouTube and others. There’s eBooks, I send out weekly email, post on Mastodon and Lemmy (previously on Xitter and Reddit) and it’s included in other podcasts, news broadcasts and magazines.

How is adding PeerTube adding anything except more cost to me? What is the benefit of this that goes beyond people using their preferred podcast player downloading the audio from my own existing platform?

Censorship by stealth.

… because that’s what it amounts to.

Platforms will start making their content “acceptable” to the “general consensus” (ie. right wing bible bashing hetero caucasians) in order to allow general access to content.

“Unsuitable” material, like sex education, domestic violence advice, sexual orientation and religious freedom will “vanish” from the internet, just like it already is across the platforms run by USA billionaires.

Those who fail to comply will be taken to court and those too small to fight will close down their internet presence.

The credit card companies are already doing this for anyone who sells anything they don’t like.

This current wave is just more of it.

It has absolutely nothing to do with keeping children safe, and everything to do with control.

There’s a thing called an Advanced Health Directive in Western Australia, legally outlining who and under what circumstances is permitted to make decisions on your behalf.

I would talk to your medical team and ask them how this works in your country. It’s also when you discover what the cultural beliefs your team has and if they align with yours.

I’d be doing this sooner rather than later.

Seems that someone needs to re-watch Minority Report.
