It actually is their job. They have several treaties from SE counties trying to avoid being abused by China that go back decades
Yeah Taiwan has had independence far too long for them to accept being swept into the Chinese system.
A lot of hypocritical trolling in this thread. Tankie lemmy?
Well, China is spending money to expand itself. You’re right about Nato though, they just want the US to do it all for them and then be the scapegoats too
Exactly. Business leaders at the time had cried that their companies and the strength of the US as a whole would fall without the manpower of slavery. Then the exact opposite happened, and industrial creativity and efficiency exploded. Rich men always seem to get it wrong
Is there some technical difficulties in creating this in lemmy? I thought I would see alternatives by now
It’s harder to make apps for kbin right now, but that will change in hopefully a month or so
Kbin is newer and the dev, Ernest, is getting more help from the community now that its growth has exploded

Well in French, carabin is a rifled horseman
Big companies are driven by profit and power. I don’t expect us to keep them out but it would be nice to prevent them from becoming the default, or else we’ll just repeat the same thing over again
Multiple smaller communities connected together is the best strategy for a free internet IMO
The casual user is not the informed user
The first problem is people tend to follow the hive mind. If it’s downvoted, they will also downvote and vice versa. They also will believe a comment with lots of upvotes and won’t fact check.
The second problem is people will abuse a karma system. Bots can increase the reputation of an account to make them seem more trustworthy
The third problem is that the current system let’s you see who is downvoting/upvoting. People take it personally when they are disagreed with and will retaliate since they can see those users and stalk their account
I don’t think these problems warrants a change in the current system. The transparency is a crucial feature. Seeing the number of downvotes serves as a great red flag to warn readers that a comment might not be true even if it has a larger number of upvotes.
This does take away the anonymous part of your social media voting experience, but the ability to manipulate the platform is greatly decreased. People that get riled up about disagreement will need to chill and you will need to block those individuals that can’t.
I think this will allow the development of a more mature community by taking away some of the anonymity
People are really bent out of shape with others disagreeing with them. You aren’t being silenced, you’re being polled and that’s not a problem.
Now if you are harassed because of it, that’s a different subject than a simple downvoted. That’s why I love the transparency here
Do no evil
What a joke
I mean, if the young adults that can currently vote actually did, that might make a difference too
Oh, I misunderstood then. It sounded to me like they were saying lemmy was more vulnerable
How is that different than what’s currently on reddit? Unless you are talking about 5 years ago, modern reddit is filled with manipulated conversations
It’s a complete pump to get the IPO starting value as high as possible and will subsequently dump soon after going public as they cash out
Spez and Co are complete business and culture morons
Is it any wonder? The money will always try to influence politics and the Supreme Court is the smallest number of individuals with power besides the president. Get a few on your side and so is the law
“But at the very least, if a server goes down, it should not be catastrophic to you.” Your social world shouldn’t live inside an app, she says, or depend on a company staying solvent. It should, and could, be much bigger than that.
Exactly
In the last 7 years they’ve been pretty one sided on the political propaganda spectrum
