From this announcement, in my opinion.

I would like to use star.vote, if at all possible, but I understand it would be harder to control who is eligible to vote on an external site.

It'll be interesting to see how the current plan works and what refinements are made.

Try Seal & VLC instead of streaming.

Also, LibreTorrent is useful for when you want to download something small.

If you like pictures, there is a visualization of the RCV/IRV flaws.

A fair number of vulnerabilities exist where a patch or mitigation exists, but hasn't been widely applied for various reasons.

I just subscribed, but is there a reason why Philadelphia is spelled with as 'philodelphia' here??

They've been essentially read-only for years, in my experience. It's stupid to go closed source, but they weren't easy to work with to get things fixed before now either.

Android Custom Tabs Overview (developer.chrome.com)

I saw the release notes about the upcoming version and a question about what "custom tabs" means, so here is a link to the documentation.

You seem to be missing a few things:

  1. It's not the user deciding/complaining. They likely don't know it's happening until the moderation team informs them. The moderator has decided the report is a bad faith report about a local user.

  2. The scope is limited to de-federation of an instance for being the source of these bad faith reports.

  3. No content from the external instance is relevant for this discussion.

  4. I am not arguing what you claim I am arguing.

I don't know how to explain the concept to you. You seem to be very fixated on misunderstanding. Please stop replying to me.

RCV/IRV has been a scam for more than a century. Please look into how that was invented and how it actually performed. More than half the places that tried it actually removed it.

I don't know why people keep being fooled by complexity, but they do.

Nay.

I don't like bots much, but this is still an assumption. I don't want to get into preventative de-federation, if it is at all possible to avoid it.

The Meta/Facebook instance(s) should be though.

Why are you trying to view everything and ban things you don't like instead of viewing your subscriptions and only joining communities you do like?

An interesting article about the novel and movie.

 

There has been a proposal for not using replies for voting.

This is cleaner and doesn't expose everyone's votes to anyone reading the thread.

I have a notion of how this would look, so I'm creating this discussion and the replies for each option as an example. Please discuss or upvote any of the options I wrote below, and we can all see how this would look.

Should registration of this instance be:
