The best single pizza was a pepperoni pizza from a street vendor in Hawaii many years ago, with hot sauce I still special order from the islands.

However… if we’re just talling toppings a pineapple, peppercini pizza is my dark horse favorite pizzas. I first tried essentially on a bet. Never would’ve expected it to be so good, and have since determined it’s best (optionally) with chicken, feta, and/or roasted garlic.

There’s this one neat trick: Just call the communists fascist!

Now you can support foreign invasion and regime change as a proud member of anti-fa!

…Still won’t oppose capitalism though.

Part of this I believe can be attributed to labelling rules. Only the concentrate portion can be called juice.

When it is made from concentrate the reconstituting water is the main ingredient. What’s shitty is that water gets more and more sugar/HFCS mixed in so less concentrate is used. Getting it down to 10% or less like that: it’s just flavoring the corn.

It’s the Street Fighter 2 to Street Fighter 1.

There are about a half dozen new mechanics woven into the game.

They learned a little from Balatro, added some questlines like FTL, and added a whole multiplayer component.

There’s much less direct military funding and support fueling Sudan so most people have no real outlet or mechanism for addressing it beyond support for humanitarian aid efforts and the UN.

There’s not an easily identified or direct policy that can be pointed at, as if an actor were receiving billions direct military aid and support. Like, even Israel is split on which side they’re supporting. Ukraine and Russia alike have supported opposition to the RSF.

I hear you, though I am more inclined to take a Gramscian view that cultural hegemony of capitalist/imperial core entities convert those anarchists to libertarians, or some form of compromised anarcho-syndicalism or libertarian socialism. So I wouldn’t call them anarchists.

But it’s not a True Scotsman thing for me, so I don’t fundamentally disagree with that perspective.

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.

Anarchists usually don’t need the kind of deprogramming of capitalist, monarchist, colonial, or imperial systems that socialist and Marxist theories typically focus on.

People keep setting up these Punching bars and then get mad when their patrons get Punched.

I think you’re supposed to switch accounts between comments.

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.

The world was black and white until the 30s. Color was a still lil grainy in places in the 70s.

/Calvin’s dad

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.

giving a lot of downvotes is usually a sign of toxicity

Emphasis mine. When is it not a sign of toxicity? Rules are defined by their exceptions, so I am curious as to how this exception is navigated, if at all?

Essentially someone who posts with high frequency has a capacity to issue more downvotes without compromising this admittedly imperfect tool.

Now I was never really a reddit user, but the problematic karma farming of accounts associated with that place was directly linked to these kinds of tools and metrics, no?

I have felt there needed to be a specific type of vote available only to the original poster and to the users individual reply.

An up/downvote from the OP or the user I responded to I think should be differentiated from another user who isn’t either.

If the OP or commentator votes that should be noted alongside the X number of random votes. It isn’t an anonymous vote, but those votes would be public acknowledgements tied to the user making the public post/comment.

I have been online since the 90s in mostly gaming spaces. Misogyny and racism feels like the default state.

Spaces that are able to rise out of that are exceptional.

I mean it’s such an incredibly unambiguous 9-0 on a legal basis and he still got three nonetheless.

Who needs magic when you can triple triad your game into a broken mess right out the gate.
