yeah the current owner clearly isn’t averse to radical works

probably. according to zoopla it went for 365k in 2021. changing hands for this silly money is especially obscene since it would have previously been sold for a pittance under the right to buy

these postwar council houses sometimes have the bathroom and toilet in seperate small rooms, could be the extra toilet was added in were there’d normally be just a bath and sink

this vegan drama is dumb as shit

the top three vegan communities by users are hexbear, .ml, .world

hexbear has news, opinions, questions from a vegan pov

.ml has similar

.world has a lot of shitty memes

if you are looking for a serious vegan comm go to hexbear or ml. if you are looking for shitty memes go to .world

if you are not a vegan and just want to lolpost ‘but bacon is delicious’ keep it to your fucking self

i’ll take your word for it because i’m not reading all those links. but if it doesn’t reveal real world name / address etc it’s not doxing

dox have to contain personal / private info. this is just public internet usernames

that’s kind of the point, other instances are already aggregating and rating your votes given and received, why shouldn’t lemmy show this to you?

it seems from a very brief search that likes and dislikes (see link below, i assume they translate to up and down votes) are the extent of what is available so a more nuanced slashdot or steam review type rating is unlikely to be viable.

in any case the ability to upvote and downvote feels like a core differentiating feature to this kind of forum and inbetween measures are unsatisfactory. upvote and downvote anything you like, and everyone can see you doing so, would be an improvement imo on the current implementation.

at least it may be possible in a future version to allow or disallow voting behaviours on a community rather than instance basis?

the author almost certainly has more experience in managing online communities than me (i have none) but it seems counterintuitive to see a dumb take, downvote and bother to leave an argumentative reply rather than just downvote and scroll past. downvotes in this case would defuse potential arguments rather than start them, but i’ll defer to the author and assume that’s not what happens

dual-voting (“I downvoted because I don’t like it but I upvoted it because you are absolutely right about it")

This is the most interesting take i have seen on the matter. it’s not a score out of five, why shouldn’t you up and down vote the same post?

you make an objectionable but very interesting point?

you are essentially right but you are belligerent and can’t spell?

upvote and downvote.

For legal reasons this is a joke

no other reasons apply

You mentioned accountability

not really. but yes i believe your online profile, as vague as that term is, can and should remain distinct from your irl personal info. what your account has up or down voted on activitypub is a far cry from being personal info

(edited for clarity)

piefed is already extremely redditty maintaining behind-the-scenes ‘karma’ and ‘attitude’ for users whether they signed up for it or not. why shouldn’t this info be public instead of in the hands of admins only?

the vote history of your lemmy account is visible

vs

your real name and address are exposed

how the fuck are these things similar

having pictures of your own naked baby is fine and normal. if you think photographing your own naked baby is a sexual act the problem is with you

agree with this and would add that the privatisation of social housing needs to be ended by abolishing the right to buy before real investment into it can be started

why would you delete your comment, then make a new account and use it to post the same comment?
