  • It would make more sense if community just set up contracts amongst themselves to pool together with monthly community fund added to the pile and if something happened, then a clause in the contact begins and facilitate the steps to release fund for that person. Contract could set up arbiter (paid hourly) to determine whether the claim is covered by the contract agreed by the subscribers.

    The major difference in this model is basically that the perverse incentive is removed whereas commercial insurance have every incentives not to pay out to claimants which defeats the purpose of insurance in the first place.

    I don’t know much about insurance laws or contracting to say for sure, but part of me is wondering why we haven’t popularize this idea yet.






  • Could we think about repurposing the down-vote function to serve a different role? Similar to the report function, which signals a need for moderator review, the down-vote could be used in the same way to flag content that might require a second look. This could assist in handling extreme or illegal content without suppressing diverse opinions or content simply because it doesn’t receive wide agreement.

    What if we displayed only the “+1” upvotes on the website without showing any down-vote counts? This would maintain a positive atmosphere and could encourage more open dialogue. Essentially, a down-vote would transition from meaning “I disagree” to “this might need reviewing”.

    Importantly, if content isn’t extreme or illegal but still gathers a significant amount of down-votes, it could be an indicator for the moderator to assess if further action is necessary. This shifts the down-vote function from being a tool for disagreement to a measure for maintaining the quality of discourse.








  • Few things:

    1. Federated Protocol essentially offers something similar to Peer-To-Peer communication like Bit Torrent, only that it’s a server-to-server communication protocol. You could GDPR the Lemmy servers that are within the EU jurisdiction, but good luck enforcing that outside of EU.
    2. Anything you post in public is PUBLIC, this should be obvious and I honestly advise not to put your real name out there if you’re not going to be responsible with your posting or behavior.
    3. Services like Internet Archive exists, so your stuff are going to be saved forever whether you like to or not.

    If you’re not comfortable with the non-compliance of GDPR on Lemmy Server, then I can suggest two things:

    1. Detach your real life identity from Lemmy and assume everything you do with that service/website is public.
    2. Find other platform that respects GDPR.
