Yes, there is. You have 705 post score and 565 comment score.

Some have sure, most I doubt. The largest instance certainly hasn’t.

Intent is irrelevant. Humans don’t work that way and will continue to downvote what they don’t like/agree with and upvote what they do like/agree with. Creating a system that ignores how people work and asking them to please use it how you want will never work.

Everyone should just embrace how it’s actually used and move on.

yet they’re not open to being alerted to problem posts (implied by the “checkmate” sass)

This is not the case, not they say “report and move on”. Reporting is literally alerting them to the problem post.

They are legally obligated for some US citizens. California (~40 million people) has a law similar to GDPR.

They also don’t have a way to check where you live so you can do the request and select either option (GDPR or CCPA) and they will fulfill the request.

In case you didn’t know and for everyone else that prefers the old UI there is a clone for lemmy.

https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym

lemmy.world has it installed at https://old.lemmy.world. The creator has it running at https://mlmym.org/ for other instances that don’t have it installed.

I do and it’s already available at https://old.lemmy.world for anyone who prefers it.

Someone else mentioned old.lemmy.world if you like the old reddit UI. That one is closer to what I want personally.

But yeah, options is great. Just need a way to save a preference now so it will use my preferred UI when logged in. Either that or throw together a redirect plugin.

Unfortunately this is even worse than the default lemmy UI with even more wasted space on desktop. But hey, more options for people is always nice and hopefully some will like this.

I read the article, it’s also shit and fails to properly talk about the issue instead of ranting about data loss.

Did you read the article? Because as far as I can see it fails to actually say shit about the problem. From just this article I can see why people are blaming the author for not having redundancy.

The Arstechnica articles however do actually say what’s going on, so yeah this appears to be a real issue with these drives disconnecting.

To expand, one of his early businesses was X.com which was a payment processor and sold to paypal and eventually shutdown. He bought the domain again back in 2017 and it now redirects to twitter.

More like, it’s less sketchy if you pay for a domain at all. .ml was free, what did they think was going to happen?

They can do that in the image as well.

Copy/pasted text stays with time too and doesn’t have the issues that pictures of text do. Also hosted images disappear all the time.
