A landlord cannot just come on top the lawn and start ripping it up without the tenant's permission.
On one hand, yes. On the other hand that's only as enforceable as a tenant can fight it.
In practice it happens. Unless the tenant has the resources or there's a legal advocacy group dedicated to that specific issue, owners tend to be able to do whatever they want so long as they use the argument of 'protecting my property'.
The settlement and restitution just ends up something like the owner keeps their stuff there and maybe you get to terminate your lease tomorrow without being forced to pay out the whole eight remaining months of the lease. But that's anecdotal.
I feel similarly. I can do the rhythm and timing stuff, but I just kept wanting to do something different each time and there's just no room for that in Sekiro. You play Sekiro's way and that's kind of it.
That and the grappling hook parkour kept giving me light vertigo.
Oh it can all be found if you look for it, no doubt, but CNNworld has the story down with the monkey with the stuffed animal story.
APNews does not appear to feature the story on their main page at all. They're running a Today In History story on Rodney King's beating.
USA Today does have the story on their main page, also fairly low and with the headline: "Who attacked a girls' school in Iran, and will there be accountability?"
But mainly the pundit circles have been ignoring it. But that's what the punditry circuit does. Hyperfixate, ignore anything as needed.
Also a cautionary tale on adding and removing features without plan or controls. Every 'hey could we add...? It's what everyones talking about!' is another step taken away from the design.
I mean, at this point AOC is the only good option possible out of who is looking at running. If there's someone with a better chance and track record, I am all ears.
Not necessarily puppet accounts, just brigading in general.
It's the rationale many instances used to defederate hexbear. (Even though iirc hexbear disables downvotes, so they're defederated for users mass posting, usually that hogshit image, instead of mass voting.) It wasn't puppets or bot accounts at any rate.
But then there's repost communities where users share comments (especially in places they or their audience is banned from) or DMs for a group response.
Not to mention the whole 'block and downvote all .ml on sight' mentality. But hopefully that might be something this tool could catch.
I guess I approach it inversely. I encounter what looks like a troll post and I'll only check profiles when either I am interacting with them, or there's such deep downvoting already I'm just doing a morbid dive into someone's history.
Most of the time though the user just has a deeply downvoted argument but otherwise normal and/or low engagement posts, so they wouldn't be flagged by this.
So I understand that it can save some time with some niche cases.
But I can't help but note that the system seems intentionally blind to targeted harassment, which can be a source, if not cause, of bad faith accounts. (And likely those need different approaches since those are also niche cases themselves.)
And maybe it's all just because of my instance's Local feed, so that's what I see as a prominent problem on Lemmy.
That's an interesting example of a user this is designed for/around.
The general system of up/downvotes seems to be doing its job quite as intended: their views appear routinely unpopular and there's a seemingly pretty strong community consensus around that.
It looks like their threads have comments that solidly and clearly refute the garbage manosphere stuff. For some people it's the opportunity to express a refutation of it publicly and directly. The public viewer gets to read those responses too.
So with that example: what do the flags do that the content of their posts don't already communicate?
Are you saying that because they would get more upvotes, they could offset the downvotes they receive? Potentially, but this is where the second metric comes in (giving a lot of downvotes), and as we said, the two are almost always present at the same time.
Right, though it's a mitigating factor. I guess there's something I don't know about piefed: Lemmy comments all have a default upvote from the user that makes it. But it can be revoked by the user. Does Piefed work the same way? My thought only applies if that's the case.
That roof awning will pass on staying up before this fuckup settles.
