How private do you consider your votes in the Threadiverse?
From the technical side anyone can spin up their own Lemmy instance and view all votes, but I'm curious at what the community's perspective on how "private" that is. I think Mbin already shows upvoters? Piefed allows anonymous voting. I also know there are sites which show all voting history, but assuming those are fairly disliked.
My general questions to the community: - Do you expect your votes to be private, or just not shown in the UI? - Would per-voter votes showing up on another aggregator platform bother you, even though your instance already shares them with other servers?
For context I'm the dev doing some two way bridge interop between atproto + Threadiverse, in atproto the votes/likes are generally publicly accessible, you just look at the users repo through something like pdsls.dev, they're readable and archivable by anyone. In my opinion this isn't that big of a problem since it's fairly hard to look at and discern (Ex all my votes: https://pdsls.dev/at://did:plc:lmdkqemqrqnfiix72pyjhfey/social.coves.feed.vote). Ultimately trying to figure out if there's already a mutual understanding that they are public and we can just mirror them or whether they should stay hidden as an aggregate.
Data has to federate, so nothing is going to really be private like you mention. I think it’s unreasonable to expect anything otherwise. I don’t see a point to hiding votes because of this. If someone starts stalking or harassing their voters for some reason, have a reporting system and handle that.

I was thinking of global warming, but the "employment" economy also needs to go.
The whole point of automation is that we can have the same (or better) quality of life while working less -- and yet jobs are harder to find, worse than ever, and many people have to have three of them in order to achieve even a minimal standard of existence.
AI is the argument for UBI*.

I call 'em Jerbs. Amazon serfs. We need another Teddy Roosevelt to break up these titanic concentrations of wealth.
It's demonstrable cheaper to feed and house people than to put them through the justice system. It's demonstrably cheaper to run a free health clinic than fill the Emergency Room.
Tell that to some skinflint conservative some time. As him about his health care.
@USelaine Ah yeah, don't they wash them with rocks now?!?!?!
How would you explain the mandelbrot set to a sixth grade student who is trying to distract you from teaching your substitute lesson on solving linear equations?
(I swear to god these kids pass around lists of which topics distract which teachers most easily. They know the ants won't work, it's too obvious. But this was a good one.)
Said student also has some peers convinced that the mandelbrot set will "eat you" and I haven't done much to clear up this rumor.

@sun @ageha There were 4 Salvadoran air force guys in a humanitarian mission in Haiti, flying rescue and logistics planes for the international mission. Haitian gangs kidnapped them, Bukele gave them an ultimatum to release the captives and go their own ways with no repercussions, the gangs being the retarded niggers that they are instead filmed themselves threatening the Salvadoran forces.
Bukele ordered 2000 servicemen to go to Haiti and start gigamurdering crime niggers until the captives are recovered, sparing only the leaders that they want to capture and those that turn themselves in. As expected, because gangs are coddled by law enforcement and know no real combat, they got completely bulldozed with several gangs no longer existing after a week, and there's probably a few hundred dead by now. I don't think the Salvadoran forces have any losses yet. Haitian civilians celebrate them as liberators.
To the surprise of no one, Haiti is easily solvable with rifles.

They’re not private at all, I’ve never been under the illusion that they were.
I like it, have some guts, stand on business. If people want to downvote they should be willing to attach their name to it, internet points are fake anyway.
@ageha from what I understand haitian gangs murdered some salvadoran nationals (like civilian pilots or something) and bukele now is erasing the gangs, capturing and arresting their heads, very quickly trhough military action. which is interestng because it's demolished the "mystique" of haitian gangs as unstoppable "cool" force.

Imagine it’s May 2027.
Democrats control Congress. Six months have passed. We’ve had televised hearings, endless investigations, viral speeches, and strongly worded statements.
But no resignations. No removals. No meaningful consequences. Nobody held accountable.
That wouldn’t be justice. That would be impunity with a Democratic majority.
Americans didn’t vote to replace Republican abuses of power with Democratic political theater. They voted for change.
Every abuse must be exposed. Every subpoena enforced. Every credible allegation of criminal wrongdoing pursued through the justice system. Every official responsible held accountable.
And let’s be clear: Congress cannot prosecute crimes itself. But it can uncover evidence, compel testimony, pursue impeachment, and demand independent prosecutions.
If Democratic leadership lacks the courage to use its power, then Democratic leadership must change.
Don’t wait six months to discover that nothing has changed. Demand accountability now.
What would you be doing Now if you knew this was going to enfold?
Democracy cannot survive if those who attack it never face consequences.

All of us, everyone reading this and everyone ignoring it and everyone who will never see it, deserves some joy.
We deserve an alternative to the media oligopoly that ensures major companies only tell stories that support the status quo.
That's why our lead character at the moment is Kumiai-Ki, The Mighty Labor Union Mech and his team of pilots.
That's why our lead vilains at the moment are Geoff Bozo and Elmo Tusk, evil billionaires trying to suppress the workers and wreck the planet (and the skies.)
We're making toys, comics, cartoons, video games (and more) about people working together for a brighter future.
