It’s about fashion designs. Your buzzwords have about as much relevance here as they usually do in any startup pitch - which is to say, absolutely none.

!piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com is a good place to start. Check the megathread / FAQ

If votes became truly public

There’s no ‘if’, they already are.

what would stop a malicious user from automating crawling the fediverse to get a list of every up and down vote a targeted user has ever made?

The same thing currently stopping them: nothing but time and effort.

Admins can currently do this, I assume given enough time and intent? Yuck.

No, anybody can currently do this.

That’s the issue with decentralisation. The info is out there. It’s that or trust a megacorp with it.

ITT: Lots of people who have no idea how the tech works and couldn’t be bothered reading the comments before posting

Welcome to English Idioms 101

Well this is talking about Diablo ONE, so…

Not the whole comment, but the word would get removed. It also applies to any comments posted to communities hosted on the server.

So much for free speech, eh.

I hate to say this, but you’re exactly the reason why Youtube and other services feel safe and comfortable enshittifying their services.

Capitalistic? Lemmy.ml does it too.

Lindell provided data that turned out to be totally irrelevant to his claims

This isn’t lemmy, this is a specific community. And your argument brings us back to the whole issue between mods and community members.

Being a dick to someone trying to make the place better

Members of a community do have a stake in the community, and in this case, are trying to keep the place from getting worse. It’s an open question who the dick is in the discussion, especially since it was an open call for feedback that then subsequently ignored every comment that disagreed with the idea. It very much came across as a call for ‘positive feedback only’.

‘Feedback’ does not mean ‘fix my idea for me’. Just because something isn’t your area of expertise doesn’t mean you can’t point out when there are flaws in something. It’s like getting served a dish that tastes horrible, then the restaurant says you can’t complain because you’re not offering a solution.

We should want analysis to be from the perspective of a typical fast food eating, reality tv watching, not-super-engaged American

Why? Lemmy is a worldwide site.

I suppose as a non American my idea of what the secret service actually is / does may be a little skewed by Hollywood

Isn’t that what regular security is for?

Why would the secret service be guarding an empty plane?

Yeah, imagine different people having different opinions than you!

Didja know that the manager admitted it was their fault?

Don’t skip your brains. You see OP? That’s how you end up like OP.

That’s what I’m trying to tell you, it doesn’t come across as an admission, at least to me. I get what you’re trying to say, but that’s not the first impression it conveys
