  • I mod !uk_politics and I've seen good articles go negative just because people don't find the headline agreeable.

    It’s rather questionable whether it’s worth it to dogpile the post with negative comments, versus just downvoting and moving on.

    One, downvoting something can be a form of dogpiling and two, the mods clearly want disagreement to be voiced in the comments not through downvotes. This is laid in rules so I don't think this constitutes power tripping behaviour.

  • How is just downvoting something telling someone a post is misinformation? People downvote stuff over the most random crap here. Also, they didn't use admin powers, no site bans were handed out only 3 month comm bans.

  • Sure, it's a bad article that relies on iffy reasoning, but it manages to dress that up enough that I can see why someone might be duped by it. And it hardly seems fair to be this vitriolic about someone being misinformed and enforcing their comm rules when no actually points out what's wrong with what's been posted or links to actual numbers, rather than guesstimations of the article author.

  • Rule 4 of that comm is:

    Don’t downvote because you disagree. Doing so repeatedly may result in a ban

    All the bans are from people just downvoting this post (but people who downvoted + commented didn't get banned). Call the rule stupid or whatever, but this seems like honest enforcement of an established rule so I'd hardly call it PTB behaviour.

  • UK: China could use microchips to disable smart meters in British homes, MP warns

    Jump

  • I think it's fair to point out that tech companies in allied countries already use these mechanisms against British consumers, that the government hasn't taken action on it, and that making this out to be a problem unique to the Chinese technology industry is a misdiagnosis.

  • Tech companies have been using software updates to brick devices for ages now, amazing that MPs become frothing-at-the-mouth Stallmanists only when a Chinese company has this ability. The actual fix is to regulate the kind of software companies can install on devices and mandate that consumers can install alternative software (similar to the FSFE's router freedom campaign), not finding a digital autocrat that Whitehall finds acceptable.

    The energy sector is not just about kilowatts and carbon. It’s about sovereignty, security and resilience.
