So when Threads decides to federate, they can slurp all this information.

That would be massively concerning and that should be blocked. Ideally votes should remain only on the current instance. Anything shared with other instances should be anonymised. This would need to be re-architected imho.

People come here to get away from Reddit now that trust has gone. Trust and a feeling of safety is vitally important to continue to build this platform.

Rules are created to ensure that they work for people. If there is a set of rules to make it better for people, and it doesn't, they may need a tweak.

What they failed to realise is teachers can have a unique ability to make kids hate a subject.

If you force them to do it, they can do it really badly without it being obvious.

I can imagine reading the Bible word for for in monotone from day 1 won't be a good experience.

This is the quality content I cum here for....

You mean following a legal order that any company would have to do?

Good luck finding doctors bold enough to admit they have no idea and need help...

Or the technology could just share the information it needs to share and not everything and anonymise the data ;).

Not post, upvote. I find it interesting that you like Asian Babes (obviously you don't, it's just some information you wouldn't expect to be public or shared).

So if Threads federates to this. It slurps everything. That is very concerning. Most are trying to get away from big tech for privacy reasons.

There is no good reason to share who upvotes a post to another instance. It should be anonymous to anyone other than the original instance.

The US have a world series for American football/American rugby which only they compete in. America is... errrm interesting.

Welcome, stranger. Make yourself at home.

So no known user will ever have a desire to join. Malicious actors will dig out their votes and expose it publicly. Could be massively damaging. You cannot do that with other social media. Obviously those companies have that information, but they do not share it.

He's the first member... Of the DK crew!

Damn, you might have got hung, drawn and quartered for that comment on reddit ;)

You're doing an incredible job. Keep going :).

That's a temporary workaround, but Lemmy isn't the easiest place to come into, and things like this just make it harder.

It's a problem I think Lemmy devs need to solve.

Erm. It's mostly a minecraft clone originally based on Pixel Perfection texture pack which was open source licence, but is increasingly getting more of it's own art, and some unique features. Burgers to lure villagers for example. I was told bookcases that stored books was in the MineClone2 first. It's a pretty solid game and very playable but certain parts still need to be implemented. Redstone is not quite where it needs to be yet. Mobs are progressing, but need a little work still, but for a FOSS game on a FOSS engine, you cannot go better! :)

I was impressed by how much content and how playable it was, and it goes from strength to strength.

I think I missed the joke. Can you explain it please :).

Except if you live in Saudi and you voted in support of gay rights. Or HK and voted something negative of China, or if you were a republican and voted something supportive of trans. Voting behaviour can be published to bring detriment to their users.

In the UK, the Labour party suspended members who voted for content from other parties (such as that they had recovered from covid) etc or for voting for content from groups that were proscribed later and they were excluded from the party for this sort of stuff. They had previously hired someone who previously worked for a company linked to the Israeli state and potentially Mossad and they were using this knowledge to crack down on left wingers with in the party.

What people upvote is increasingly being highlighted and used as discreditation by association.

As the world becomes more digitalised, and this is used more and more, it becomes more and more critical. Maybe not for you personally, but for many.

I think it's total posts. If you look at the list of instances and posts at the bottom it matches closer to total posts:

It's still epic and growing both in quality and activity, but it's still got a long way to grow. I feel optimistic. :)
