The Fediverse Desperately Needs Sustainable File Hosting
  • Pict-rs that used by Lemmy to store images already supports S3 type storage, so in theory it should work with Jortage, but I don't think anybody has tested that yet. The people behind Feddit.org might have experimented with it as they expressed interest a while back.

  • There are external GPU cases that might work with your laptop, but at least on older models these were relatively bandwidth limited which doesn't matter that much for gaming, but I guess it might cause more problems with AI workloads? On the other hand, maybe not if the model fits completely into the vRAM of the m40?

  • That said, consistent hand-washing like that has been proven to reduce hospital based infections quite a bit and compliance to regulations alone is often very poor.

    You can argue that understaffing is the ultimate cause of poor compliance, but then again... the number of anti-vaxxers in hospital staff is surprisingly high.

    A story as old as federated social media, in 3 parts
  • No that is not what I am arguing then. Voting for the lesser evil is often the right choice. If I was a citizen of the USA I would certainly vote for Harris tomorrow as the lesser evil, but that is a personal choice and I trust that most US based anarchists are sensible enough to do the same.

    The main problem with electorialism is not the voting itself, its the spectacle around it and the waste of effort and money to promote the candidates and all the (self) gaslighting that people do. Coming to an anarchist space and doing that will at best get you ridiculed, but in this case the mod decided to show these people the door.

  • Sorry, can you please rephrase or fix the grammar in your post above? I don't get what you are trying to say.

  • A story as old as federated social media, in 3 parts
  • You are again missing the point. No one claimed that you are not allowed to vote for the lesser evil if that is something you want to do.

  • A story as old as federated social media, in 3 parts
  • There is a detailed body of theoretical works in Anarchism about how Electoralism is counter-productive and mostly just distracts from the real work that is needed. This isn't about Harris or Stein. Coming into an Anarchist community and arguing about the need to vote for a candidate is similar to coming to a Vegan community and starting to argue that eggs are better than meat and maybe a little meat is not so bad after all.

  • Yes they didn't understand it either, but you have to keep in mind which community they commented in.

  • "Punitive Grandstanding" as a technique used chiefly by authoritarians on Lemmy and beyond
  • Because you don't need evidence to believe something? Especially if you don't care to look for such evidence?

  • Weitere Tote und neue Unwetterwarnung in Spanien
  • Na gut wenn es um ausländische Regierungsoberhäupter geht scheinbar doch etwas weniger "staatstragend".

  • "Punitive Grandstanding" as a technique used chiefly by authoritarians on Lemmy and beyond
  • I am also doubtful that hidden pleasure at seeing other suffer is the prime motivator.

    More likely they are of the mistaken believe that punishment can prevent future crimes and the stronger the punishment the better for that. But while this might be true for minor stuff like petty theft, this believe is generally not supported by evidence.

  • A story as old as federated social media, in 3 parts
  • I can't speak for the exact reasoning, but my impression is more like this:

    The OP made a post explicitly about how voting is not enough and that direct action is needed (a very uncontroversial position for Anarchists) in an Anarchist community and because it is upvoted a lot and hits the all feed, some non-anarchist liberals show up in the comments and Reply-Bro their off-topic views about how it is absolutely crucial to vote for Harris and spout their various hypocritical justifications as of why. As a result the OP gets angry at those uninvited comments and deletes some of them and closes the thread and also gives a temp ban to some especially argumentative people that clearly didn't get the message.

    I find this pretty sensible over all, as this isn't about not welcoming "all forms of pragmaticism or utilitarianism or philosophicisim within anarchist ideals" but rather about showing people the door who are clearly not anarchists nor seem to be interested in learning about it.

  • There are certainly many things that could be improved about Lemmy's moderation tools and general setup, I agree.

    However the core argument is not about "talking with people who don’t agree with you is a valuable thing to do". There was no real disagreement about any topic where an exchange of ideas would be beneficial to both sides. Unless you have infinite patience, there is no point in arguing with people that don't even realize how hypocritical their position is, in fact usually doing so only results in them digging in their heels and arguing even stronger as you are likely challenging some of their deeply held believes. I believe this is what happened, and your reaction in the original post itself and even more so in making this new thread to complain about someone not having infinite patience with you pretty much proves that.

  • A story as old as federated social media, in 3 parts
  • No, the argument is something like this: you can vote (or not vote) however you like and voting strategically or for the lesser evil is a compromise many Anarchists make, but you are lying to yourself and others if you claim that this is anything but a painful compromise. Jill Stein is irrelevant for that question.

  • A story as old as federated social media, in 3 parts
  • No one said you were intentionally trolling or making bad faith arguments. What you did was randomly enter a post you disagreed with and started an off-topic argument with the OP using emotionally loaded language to justify something that is in the end just a very mundane lesser evil decision. I am old enough to have seen this spiel out many times during every other election cycle and I find it quite offensive to be exposed to such arguments lacking even the slightest bit of self-reflection, especially in what is supposed to be an Anarchist community.

  • A story as old as federated social media, in 3 parts
  • This is a take that sounds good at first, but quickly shatters when it comes in contact with reality.

    Mods are not some mythical aloof figure that hoovers over everything to make impartial decisions but are rather more often the primary posters and "content creators" (horrible term) in a community. This is something we encourage on our instance as we want to foster an organic community with original content and not just be a faceless link aggregator.

    Add to this that it is really difficult to find additional volunteer mods for communities, and the person that starts a community is often the only and typically somewhat unwilling moderator of it as well. In thematic communities they are also often the person in the mod team with the most expert knowledge on a topic to decide if something is misinformation etc. or not.

    Post language visibility settings?

    It seems like contrary to Lemmy-UI, Photon does not display the user supplied post language anywhere and also has no way to set the post language in the UI. Nor does it have the profile setting to set language visibility.

    I generally think that this feature in Lemmy-ui causes more harm than good due to the various ways in which people accidentally deselect "undetermined" as a language option, or how community mods accidentally prevent people from posting due to strict language restrictions... and a bunch of other related bugs that caused me to abandon this feature.

    But having no representation at all seems like a bad idea given so much of Lemmy uses that feature and it also seems like Photon does hide wrongly language tagged posts if people misconfigure their profile settings in Lemmy-ui?

    I can't confirm the latter, but this report https://slrpnk.net/post/14769073 sounds a lot like that is what is happening.
