Alternatives are great if only people were using them.

I can’t read the article but my guess is that he is one of the few left leaning leaders that the EU has left

Keep me informed!👌👍🤞

Same!

It needs an app (edit: that is available through Play store or the corresponding apple shop)

And it needs to render uploaded videos to the maximum allowed file size. Regular people don’t know how to make their videos smaller. I only managed to do it by uploading to you tube the then downloading it from there. Then it was small enough to to be uploaded to loops

Also, easier sign up and more content

Whenever parts go up, it impacts pricing. Whenever parts go down, it impacts profit

I’m not surprised that they are against it but very surprised that they so blatantly expose their reasoning. If you don’t buy my product, it’s not good for me, therefore it is not a good idea 🤷

It’s a sliding slope though. The initial reasoning is fair. But it will eventually spread to other features like (potentially) creating and owning servers or holding administrative and moderation roles

It’s the same with the chat control currently looking over EU. Nobody can say that they are against efforts to stop CSAM. The issue is that the efforts don’t limit themselves to fighting that. Likewise the age verification on Discord does not seem to be targeted or limited to certain content. They are leaving the door open to use it any way they want

The real problem is, that the majority of users won’t change, and it’s the users that make Discord. There could be a much better alternative but if users are too lazy to change, it is worth nothing.

This is the case with Facebook messenger too. There are great alternatives, but it’s messenger that has the userbase

The problem is not the lack of alternatives but the lack of users using the alternatives

I need specifications…

Are water fountains the ones that point water upwards? Or generally any tap water?

Or a whiskey…

There hasn’t been an opening ceremony yet though… 🤔

The redacting is in order to protect the victims… It seems like clear evidence on what side the government has taken

I think you missed the point of this - I don’t mind down votes.

I am just surprised that (some) users will actively use third party software to identify who made them, and then confront them publicly

I agree - I was just surprised to be confronted publicly by a user, for down voting a post. Not that I didn’t want to be exposed, but that people actually could look it up

I agree that it is good with transparency, but then this should also be freely available on the Lemmy platform, and even the clients, in the same way as modlogs list what is going on.

I knew that admins could somehow go into the database and check who has done what, but I assumed that this was only the admin, and maybe even that the info was encrypted. It’s alright with me that it’s not, but then why not display it on each post and comment, with a list of interactions to it.

In this case, it’s this post:

Although, the comment where people were being called out, may have been removed (not sure if it’s because I have blocked the user, or they have blocked me)

You can have messenger without Facebook. At least it’s possible in the EU

You are welcome to feel any way you want about me 👍

I feel like the devs should then have a visible overview of who has up- or down voted each post and comment then. Similiar to the mod log.
