Slightly related, but mailing prisoners lwould be great. Even if one correspence with one prisoner you send once a couple months, it really improves the mental health of people in prison for a long time, most often family and friends have forgotten about/abandoned them, and having someone on the outside to occasionally talk to can be such a relief.

In real life if I give people my academic title they’ll trust me more than the random person who is arguing with me about basic facts in my field of expertise. For some reason, not on reddit though
Also ewwww taking memes from twitter.
I hope she aggrees on a weapons barrage, we’ll see how the negotiations go.
Anyways, she’ll be a million times better for both gazans and ukrainians than her opponent, but I do hope she’s less bad than Biden on Gaza.
Wait really, it shows downvotes as upvotes? I believe that is wrong. It just doesn’t show downvotes.
I’ve seen heavily downvoted comments show up with like +3 scores or something, while on lemmy.world they show up as -54. And if you check on web it will show 57 down 3 up.
What do you mean?
It still shows upvotes.
Yes obvs everyone else who has downvotes implemented can see them. But if you personally don’t like how downvotes are being used, then your experience will be devoid of them. Which is a great personalisation feature.
If you don’t like downvotes (like me!) join an instance with disabled downvotes. Simple solution. I don’t know why OOP hasn’t disabled downvotes on their instance.
Yeah it is really frustrating to try and educate the reddit hivemind about your field of expertise.
They like things that sound good and plausible and fit their biases, not necessarily where the scientific consensus points to.
This is about newspaper articles. But agree with what you say.
Conservapedia views Albert Einstein's theory of relativity as promoting moral relativism,[9] falsely claims that abortion increases risk of breast cancer, praises Republicanpoliticians, supports celebrities and artistic works it believes represent moral standards in line with Christian family values, and espouses fundamentalist Christian doctrines such as Young Earth creationism.
I couldn’t have made it up, WHAT THE FUCK lmao
Here most of that is outsoured to TA and PhD students
And yet Harris is only 2% in the lead.
America is a fucked up country. I pray for y’all.
