  • I made no judgement on whether it should be a feature or not. But it does not resolve the need for mods to address people systematically downvoting, or the risk of mods misusing that power.

  • Dennoch spielte ein 59-jähriger Beamter aus der Wuppertaler Polizeiabteilung „Politisch motivierte Kriminalität – rechts und links“ bei der Auswertung dieser Fundstellen eine fragwürdige Rolle. Laut Başay-Yıldız erklärte der Beamte, all diese Inhalte belegten lediglich ein „geschichtliches Interesse“ des Täters. Nicht jeder Konsument solcher Videos oder Besitzer von NS-Büchern habe ein rechtes Weltbild.

    Im Verfahren sagte dann derselbe Beamte aus, 166 rechtsextreme Bilder ließen sich auch „in durchschnittlichen Schul- oder Klassengruppen“ finden. Auch die Kommunikation des Täters mit seiner Freundin, in der von „Kanaken“ die Rede ist, die sich gegenseitig „mit Polenböllern wegfetzen“ sollten, habe laut dem Beamten zwar „ein Geschmäckle“, müsse aber nicht politisch motiviert sein. Derselbe Kriminalhauptkommissar sowie das Polizeipräsidium Wuppertal waren bereits in einem früheren Fall in Wuppertal auffällig geworden: 2015 war ein Mann mit türkischem Migrationshintergrund vor dem dortigen Autonomen Zentrum von drei Neonazis angegriffen worden.

    Chatprotokolle aus einer Whatsapp-Gruppe namens „Angriffsparty“, in der das Zentrum längst als Angriffsziel genannt wurde, und die dem 59-jährigen Beamten bekannt waren, wurden damals nicht in die Ermittlungsakten aufgenommen. Başay-Yıldız beantragte jetzt am 15. Juli, die Datenträger durch eine andere Polizeibehörde oder durch das Landeskriminalamt von NRW erneut untersuchen zu lassen. Die Objektivität und Neutralität der Ermittlungen sei nicht gewährleistet. Ihr Antrag wurde jedoch abgelehnt.

    Polizei und Justiz NRW stabile "Mitte". Es ist immer wieder wild, wenn man von Leuten liest, die meinen, die deutsche Polizei und Justizhätten nicht in ihrer Gesamtheit ein Problem mit Rechtsextremismus und man dürfe solche "Einzelfälle" nicht überbewerten...

  • The Zionist lobby in New York made the primaries about the candidates kissing the ring and promising loyalty to Israel. I think that rubbed many people the wrong way. It also has direct implications as aspects such as freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of arts and freedom of science are affected domestically, if a Zionist candidate would become mayor.

    Finally the same media outlets and the same politicians that are boasting about their support to Israel are also in bed with the billionaires making the city unlivable for normal people, cracking down on any sympathy towards Luigi and the like.

    The candidates who are promoting evil abroad, also promote evil at home.

  • Since ban evasion is quite easy for now with the federated nature, someone just coming back with a different account is very annoying and in itself a reason to ban the new account.

    I had to deal with a serious ban evader in one community that i moderate. Once people show that they don't respect the decision and are not seeking to resolve any disputes about it through communication, there isn't really any coming back imo. Then it amounts to a game of "whack-a-mole".

  • I think you are overlooking some aspects here.

    First of all, the auto-hiding as a user setting still encourages malicious users to systematically downvote communities or other users they don't like. One could see, why it does encourage it even more.

    The problem is that people who have that feature turned on to filter out trolls simply never see that it is happening and a post like here, where the affected user might seek help from the larger community won't reach that larger community as it will be filtered by default.

    Also on lemmy you can block individual users, so there is no qualitative difference for you individually if you find a particular user annoying. The only difference is that you have to click the dotted menu and block manually. I'd say this is the better approach than to tune metrics based on up-/downvote numbers and ratios.

    However if Piefed also used Upvotes/Downvotes as a metric for how likely it will push a post into the "all" of users, systematic downvoting still affects communities negatively. So community moderators from that perspective maintain the same interest to act against systematic downvoting.

    I really don't see how the things you describe for Piefed would change how Mods react to what they perceive as systematic downvoting.

  • Meanwhile the EU spent more money on Russia energy resources since the full scale invasion than Ukraine received in aid (both military and civil combined). Various sanctioned parts made it to Russia from EU manufacturers.

    It seems that the Russian invasion is seen as less of a threat in the higher echelons of economic and political power and is more of a business opportunity instead.

    Insofar the course of the EU has increased the number of people killed and the destruction caused through bankrolling both the Ukrainian defender and the Russian attacker. It seems only since the beginning of this year, with Ukraine hanging by a thread and Trump throwing antics in Washington that the actual stance is changing and sanctions are enacted more seriously.

  • So you set individual preferences accepting certain pros and cons.

    The claim "doesn't work as a replacement" hence only is inside your criteria.

    Regarding the "social live", lets be real there is hardly anything social about Instagram aside from forwarding memes to your friends, which you can do in any messenger app. Regarding mail providers, the medium ones are not affected by the distrusting problems. Regarding office, you can switch for anything outside the office. I also have to use MS at work. At home i run LibreOffice and don't pay any more money to MS. Same for searches, where i definitely use search engines more at home than at work. But even at work you can get reliable results from other search engines.

    Lets be real, how often do your searches end up being a shortcut to the specific page on the same half a dozen websites? You are a programmer? Chance is most of your search results you click will be stackoverflow, w3school or similar. Most people will have Wikipedia articles among the top 5 they click on after searching. Just going to wikipedia directly is perfectly viable.

  • Meanwhile resistance fighters inflict significant losses to Israels invasion forces in Khan Younis and other places, as the rubble provides similar if not better cover for infantry.

    EDIT: See for instance an Israeli tank/troop transporter being blown up, as a fighter moved through the rubble and threw an explosive into the open hatch of the armored vehicle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtQ3IMGCKy0

    This lesson was learned by the Nazis already in Stalingrad, yet another similarity between then and now. https://mwi.westpoint.edu/urban-warfare-project-case-study-1-battle-of-stalingrad/

    While the Luftwaffe tried to resupply the 6th Army the Soviets now went on the offensive, the intensity of fighting within the city becoming more violent. Hundreds of “shock groups” consisting of fifty to a hundred soldiers broke into small groups to fight as highly lethal and lightly armed infantry-engineer squads of three to five personnel, moving swiftly and silently throughout the rubble or “hugging” the Germans near the frontlines to avoid the effectiveness of German airpower and artillery. Dozens of snipers took advantage of the destruction to find nearly perfect firing positions. Snipers successfully killed hundreds of German soldiers, providing a psychological boost to the Soviets while lowering German morale tremendously. Soviet tanks were used in a way that would unnerve armor crews of today: instead of being used for maneuver they were dug deep into the rubble, camouflaged, and used as pillboxes, their carefully prepared positions remaining unseen until they fired the first shot from just a short distance away. These tactics took a devastating toll on German personnel and vehicles over the following months.

    So either the "most moral army in the world" and "most powerful army in the Middle East" is too incompetent to know about one of the most famous battles of the 20th century, or it is yet another piece of evidence that Israels goals was never to destroy Hamas, but to genocide the civilian population of Gaza.

  • The first attribute in the list sets the framing.

    Another example is:

    Jeff is lazy, intelligent and charming.Marc is charming intelligent and lazy.

    Your brain most likely will have a more positive impression of Marc than of Jeff, despite both being described with the exact same attributes.

    Or what about this one:

    Pay 20 dollars. Then you get to flip a coin. If it lands on heads you gain 100 dollars. If it lands on tails you get nothing.You get to flip a coin. If it lands on heads you gain 80 dollars. If it lands on tails you have to pay 20 dollars.

    People will generally consider the first one to be better, because they could "win" more in the second step and "loose" nothing. The second one will probably be more averted because loosing could be "punished".If you think slow about it and run the math, both set ups have the same probabilities with the same earnings or losses.

    I highly recommend the book "thinking fast, thinking slow" that deals a lot with these biases.
