I have faced the same issue as OP. Clearing all app data (or uninstalling/reinstalling) works to fix it, but I get the impression that OP doesn't want to have to re-add and log back into their multiple lemmy accounts after doing that.
Ideally, liftoff would't go into a state of being nearly unusable when your default instance is having problems. That's the point of the post.
It depends entirely on the jurisdiction. Take the city of Seattle, for example (I know this because I planned an executed a nude photo shoot in public view inside the city limits and sought legal council ahead of time to ensure I wan't risking being charged with any crimes). The general rule for Seattle hinges on whether the activity is intended to tittilate or sexually arouse observers - and if that is obviously not the intent, then even full nudity is not illegal. Many other large cities have very similar ordinances.
The smaller the town, and the more conservative the region, the stricter and less flexible the ordinances. There are beaches in South Carolina, for example, where they even regulate the minimum amount of coverage for bikinis and beachware.
That statement is generally untrue.
If the photos were comissioned, then the photographer would need a release to publish them. If the publishing was for a commercial activity, then the photographer would need a release to use them. If the photos were taken in/on private property where the subjects had a legal expectation of privacy then the photographer would need a release. But in all other cases the photographer does not need a release and it is not illegal. All the above...is how current laws in the US work, which a lot of other countries mirror.
In general, taking photos of people, in public, is legal in most countries, and publishing those photos as artistic expression (non commercial use) is also generally legal and does not require any form of consent from the subjects nor does it require any form of compensation to the subjects.
Is the new community for sharing knowledge only, or is it also a place to ask questions (ie: "What is the etymology of [xyz]?")?
They can't be dumb enough to fall for the sunk cost fallacy can they? I think it must be something else.
There are no benefits to it now...unless you are part of the minority who exploits and benefits from it.
First, votes aren't exactly transparent, but they also aren't completely private either. User voting records are stored in databases that instance owners have access to, so it's possible for them to see (and/or even publish) up/down voting history. KBin already does this publicly. So I can see an argument being made that if the info is available to some people, it should be available to all people.
Personally, I wouldn't care if my upvotes and downvotes are exposed to the commenters/posters that I voted on, but I'm concerned about the possibility of it being used for discrimination. Imagine me following/participating in a community and then being immediately banned from that community solely because a community moderator didn't like how I upvoted/downvoted on things. For example, say I want to participate in a philosophy or politic themed community and one of the mods there just happens to be very conservative and decides to exclude me just because I upvoted something that was NSFW once upon a time and they disapproved of that behavior? This will absolutely happen if all voting is public. On reddit, a similar form of discrimination happened by analyzing where people posted and they would be banned from certain subreddits just based on the other subreddits they have been active on- and even worse was that this was often done by a bot without regard for the actual comments made. I recall a very specific example of someone who used to hop into r/conservative to challenge or antagonize certain lines of thinking and they were banned from liberal/progressive subreddits because of their activity on r/conservative despite the fact that they were not sympathetic to anything on r/conservative. That same discrimination can (and probably does) happen on Lemmy already, but making voting history public will take it to the next level.
If voting ever did become public on lemmy, then at a minimum users should be able to see/review/audit their voting history and be given the ability to retroactively delete some/all of it.
You're also ignoring the fact that it's trivial to create/use alternate lemmy accounts. If voting records were public, it would just drive people to create multiple accounts from which to vote on things - to compartmentalize their interactions with different communities or users. Since this fact means that users would STILL be able to hide/mask their voting history, I think this is a good argument that it makes no logical sense to make voting records public.
I think an ideal solution would be for users to just have a choice to make their voting public or to keep it private, or to selectively publicize or keep secret on a vote-by-vote bases.
I am so glad I live in a state where mail-in balloting is the default for everyone. I have only sympathy for citizens in states that still require in-person voting. Good luck with your attempt today.
She wouldn’t have been any better than drumpf
Hard disagree.
Most likely, Hillary just wouldn't have accomplished much of anything (and not so much for lack of agenda or effort but because of the unprecedented amount of rightwing/conservative resistance put up for everything she would have attempted. But at worst, it would just have been business as usual for another 4 years. Trump has actually turned the country, the executive branch, the judicial branch, national safety, the economy, and the environment into a continent-sized dumpster fire that will burn for decades. Hillary wouldn't have done that.
Hillary's greatest sin was coming into the 2016 election as if she'd already won...as if she -deserved- to win....as if it was pre-ordained...and that really rubbed people the wrong way. Being a woman didn't help - half this country are a few IQ points away from neanderthals who don't believe women are capable of leading a nation, so that didn't help either.
The democratic party also deserves much of the blame- they were going to shit on Bernie and promote Hillary regardless of what the common voters wanted...because they had the power to do that and they were willing to exercise that power. So fuck them too.
(if it's not obvious, I thought Bernie was the clear superior choice also)
I need this also, but not for the same reason. I've created user accounts on several large/medium/small instances to serve as redundancy in case one or more of my favorite instances is having technical difficulties or just gets decommissioned. I'd like to synchronize my community subscriptions across multiple accounts so that I can easily switch between user-accounts/instances without missing anything I'm already subscribed to.
I previously found and bookmarked this "Lemmy Migrate" script, but I've not yet had an opportunity to dive in and try it. Take a look, maybe it'll work for you.
