Yeah, it felt a lot like “you need to prove you’re worthy” more than just proving you’re not a bot.

Adding to what others have said, opposing viewpoints are GOOD. Well reasoned opinions should be encouraged. I don’t want to end up in another curated echo chamber built by someone else. Add the tools for users to block an instance and for blocks to work better in general. Give us the tools to decide our content. Leave the curation up to the users.

Otherwise you’ll just end up with everyone spinning up their own instance and building a million individual echo chambers(tho it wouldn’t be bad if there were more instances lol)

Add the fact that lemmy.ml and others were/still are doing applications for sign up instead of an automated system. I applied twice for a .ml account and never got a single response, not even a denial or “your application is being processed”. I have no idea if my application was ever even seen.

On the other hand, I signed up to lemmy.world and kbin.social in minutes and have been using them ever since.

No worries. In case that came off overly critical, please know I just want you to shine. Not accusing you of anything. Just want your unique self to show through. That’s part of the beauty of an indie project; it’s not the same corporate stuff.

I can’t be the only one thinking that your image looks like a knockoff of “Star Wars: Rogue One”. Same font, same alignment of words… Make the game YOUR game. Don’t rely on familiarity with other brands to draw people in. They’ll be disappointed when it’s NOT a Star Wars game and you also open yourself up to legal issues from Disney, who owns the star wars brand.

No problem. I walk ~14 miles a day at work and they hold up nicely. I put some Superfeet insoles in them when I buy them. Here’s a pic of the old ones with ~18 months/4000 miles on them next to the same pair brand new. The old ones are still in working condition and have no real issues other than the cosmetic wear. Just wanted to get a new pair lol

Bought mine around 2020 and they lasted maybe 9 months before holes were forming in the toe area.

Bought Keens next and haven’t had any issues. Last pair I put 4000 miles on them and the rubber covering the steel toe had worn a nickel sized hole, but otherwise they were still in great shape and fully functional.

I feel like edits within a short window should be allowed for error correction. After that it should probably be locked.

If it’s left unlocked, either temporarily or permanently, there should be an edit history akin to Wikipedia to track the changes.

Lmao that IS NOT how “scale” works. Proportions stay the same.

You can’t make a 3 sided object with 4 sides. It’s no longer a triangle and is a square. It’s the definitions themselves. Non-euclidian geometry would allow the angles to equal more than 180°, but not to “add a side”.

A triangle with 90° angles, yes.

But not a four sided TRIANGLE. That itself is a contradiction.

And I walk 12-14 miles a day in Keens. My last assistant refused to wear anything but Crocs. Guess who was out every other week with foot problems? Not me.

There’s a reason hiking and activity shoes have ankle support. Ankles aren’t glass, but you don’t want to roll them in uneven surfaces

People who work on their feet all day don’t use crocs. You’d use TreadSafes that have actual support and fit, or you’d use an actual work shoe like Keen. Crocs absolutely will not hold up in a warehouse and will provide zero support or protection for your feet.

The offer ZERO ankle support and often don’t fit snuggly enough to support anything really. Unless you wear flip flops, don’t wear these. Easy way to end up with constant foot, ankle, and knee problems.

Your error is in thinking they “thwart” the crime. They don’t. They punish after the fact. That’s still upholding the law(punishment for breaking it) without protecting a person. There is no law that says they have to put their lives in danger, so they’re not breaking any laws when they don’t intervene.

It’s not mental gymnastics. It’s that laws are specific so as not to be too broad and overreaching and in this case, there is a massive Blindspot that has not only been allowed to exist, but has been further codified in legal precedent.

“Protect and serve” is a PR statement. It is not a codified law anywhere.

Basically no. They have an obligation to arrest the perpetrator. They can’t be made to risk their safety in defending you tho. So no, they don’t have to protect you in that situation and they can still do their “job” by arresting the perpetrator after.

That said, don’t just call people out who downvote you. No one owes you an explanation if they thought your post was bad. I’ve already seen it once and it was pretty childish.

Doing things like calling out someone’s post history or making a whiney edit about the people downvoting you are also reddit things. And that’s the kind of behaviour you’re exhibiting right here. You’re being close minded and demanding that other people cater to your needs. Just like Americans shouldn’t only concern themselves with their news, you too shouldn’t only close yourself off and only care about your news. And if you don’t like it, unsubscribe yourself.

Go touch some grass dude.

I’m downvoting you because you’re being incredibly immature right now. People can disagree with you
Saying “how dare you downvote me, I can SEE IT!” and calling them out makes you look like a giant child. You need to take some time to consider your own response and whether or not that’s something WE want on the fediverse. You can just as easily be blocked too, you know.
