    Well I suspect we are looking at this problem through a very simple lens. The billionaires are not necessarily using that money. It is out there being invested and also being loaned out to start new businesses startups etc. if you just handed it to the government assuming it will be better spent or invested is a big leap.

    I completely agree. At this point, I really just don't understand the Republican party. I'm somebody that has always considered myself to be on the side of smaller government and conservative in general but this Republican party does not represent me.

    I agree we should have a more progressive tax. The problem is fair is a relative term. When is fair fair enough? The fact is the underlying problem is overspending and no amount of "fair" increases to the tax rate is going to solve that problem.

    Oh, that would explain why other apps such as Bean and Avery become unresponsive if I scroll a lot of unread posts. Thanks for the detailed explanation. I would have no problem with implementing this locally until lemmy has a solution at the API level. If those read marks could be in iCloud, that would be a bonus.







  • If communities are never even given a view of the offending posts, they will obviously never be able to participate in the solution. I think communities that don’t address offending posts can and should be banned at the server level. Unless it is handled this way, then I guess server operators take complete ownership of the issue. I’m not even touching the topic of what constitutes an offending posts, which lends itself to all kinds of mis interpretations.


  • Well, in that case, I think the Fediverse is in serious trouble. You will end up with too much fragmentation in how servers handle this sort of thing; it's definitely going to keep happening and probably get worse. I think delegating to the community of forum participants to handle the problem is in the spirit of the Fediverse. In either case, I admit it's up to each server owner to do what they feel is best. I suspect the Noster model of dumb repeaters is a better model.


  • Well as always users that did nothing wrong are the ones that suffer. I think banning images is overkill. Let the forum police themselves. It’s the way this is supposed to work. Just banning images site wide is pretty draconian and defeats the purpose of the fediverse. Blocking any images that could contain any level of nudity is also overkill. I’ll probably move to a self hosted server eventually.
