Not a libertarian if you were referring to me. I envision a system in which we all contribute and take part instead of throwing all the effort on someone already providing you with the space and expecting them to do it all, when you can more easily do it yourself.

Sure, if I want a community about cooking and instead of finding cooking content I find insults and harassment, then I will leave. That’s essentially an equivalent of the blocking feature I spoke about.

But I find it hard to believe that such a cooking community would become good by just having a moderator ban all the offenders, when they occupy most of the posts.

On the topic of admjn burnout, I find it ridiculous that we choose to put so much burden on instance and community admins. Why don’t people just utilize their block functions instead of expecting admins to clean up bad posts and users as fast as possible?

Not saying admins should do nothing, but it should be sufficient for an admin to only do what’s absolutely necessary to keep the instance alive (including removal of illegal content). Anything else should be considered extra credit and no one should be entertained complaining about it.

Is this the first time this happened BTW? Does anyone know of the history of this?

Which Proton version are you using? try using Proton Experimental or trying out other versions to see what works.

About the racoon recommendation have you tried other Lemmy apps? Curious what made you choose racoon

Please show your work. What is the proof that it was done to consolidate power?

This isn’t to mention that your use of the word authority is strange. How exactly do you determine who has more authority between a US house representative vs. a CEO?

On a related, is there a list of good open source strategy games? I’m especially interested in grand strategy.

We really need more mobile strategy games. Seems like the right platform.

Sorry I’m no longer interested in such a derailed conversation.

1. Yes
2. With their help, the worst humanitarian crisis of the 21st century was created in yemen
3. They didn’t hit once and just stop. Not that its okay if they did.
4. Stop derailing please. You’re not gonna successfully justify those crimes.

1. Way to derail the conversation about Syria with a country way that has little to do with it. (yes even if OP said middle east)
2. Even with Yemen, the United States started. The yemeni rebels fought against an oppressive government, and the United States had to intervene in the interest of Saudi for many years before the yemenis ever responded. So your example does not disprove the claim.

Highly doubt that Syrian army were interested in opening a front with the strongest military in the world, when they’re getting pounded by Al-Qaeda on the other side of the country.

Weird question, but what does GnuCash do that you wouldn’t get easily from excel? I haven’t used any of these apps and wondering what I’m missing out on.

Its best to use a protocol that doesn’t allow unencrypted messages

This is an implementation thing and not a protocol thing. What protocol doesn’t allow unencrypted messages? I am sure signal’s protocol would still allow it, it’s just that the implementation doesn’t.

And same for XMPP. Just go with the implementation that doesn’t.

This makes matrix even less attractive to me lol. But you’re right, that’s a very good point.

I have a feeling this is a joke. Either way I’m not following sorry 😭

It works even if steam is installed through my system package manager rather than flatpak, which I find even more puzzling.

I suppose steam is installing something alongside it that bottles is using. Can’t figure out what it is.

I don’t think this should have to do with it, as I run the game outside of steam in bottles. I am running a GOG copy.

Keep it civil please.
