  • You mentioned real user registrations, which I thought was a hypothetical control you were suggesting. Appologies if I misunderstood, I was explaining my thoughts on it.

  • Absolutely agree that people will always try to game a system that can be gamed.

    I would agree with real user registration if it didn't open the ID Verification can of worms. Right now there is no way to make a KYC system airtight, and the risk outweighs the benefit, in my opinion. One user per account (if one could easily switch instances) would make for a healthier social ecosystem, though.

  • I've tried them both along with a few different lemmy instances and found .today on lemmy is my best fit.

    Since others have covered the technical angle, I'll say I prefer lemmy from a social perspective. My instance doesn't block other instances, banning users only for extreme cases. I prefer to choose my experience for myself without being ideologically guided by someone else's values.

    For all the criticisms of the lemmy developers, their biases don't make it into the code. Instances are run according to the admins and user's wishes, which allows .today to operate as openly as possible. Piefed, on the other hand, suffers from the biases of its developer, who not only blocks users but also instances of admins who don't align with them. They have passed along their ban list to other admins as well, getting users banned for disagreeing with them. That's not the behavior of someone I want running my platform of choice.

    Along with that. I, personally, don't like the idea of reputation, low score flags, karma or any system based on the votes of users, since they can be easily manipulated. It feels like Piefed is trying to implement a more intense karma system, which was one of my main problems with reddit. I believe each post and comment should stand on its own merit.

  • Of course psychosis has a trigger, this just happened to be it. That's like psychology 101.

    People prone to psychosis are rational, balanced people, sometimes for their entire lives, or until something triggers a psychotic break. You really ought to look up psychosis and schizophrenia, it's a lot more nuanced than elementary. We have research on those things so you don't have to try to reason it out.

  • It helps to read the article.

    In one of the cases mentioned, the user had no previous indication of a mental health disorder.

  • What. The comment above me mentioned bathrooms and shooting clubs. How does that extrapolate to racism?

  • Until it affects me

    Jump

  • Because there's no reason why a shooting club needs to be gendered. If you can't see the difference between a hobby club and a protected safe space for a certain group I don't think we'll see eye to eye on that issue.

    The toilet thing is a bit more complicated. Generally, women take longer to use the washroom for mechanical reasons, and the same toilet space is usually allotted to both genders while men's bathrooms have urinals as well as toilets, which take up less space - more pissers per square foot, if you will. That's why the lineup to a women's washroom is usually longer, and why I would absolutely use a men's washroom rather than piss myself.

    I'm fine with men using the women's washroom when they need to. If there's one thing everyone should be able to do regardless of the sign on the door, it's taking a piss when they have to.

  • If they were genuinely curious and wanted to know an answer to that question, then why would they post it in a community where men couldn’t respond? That seems disingenuous.
