Oh man, I hadn’t heard of the DMA before. How exciting!

That’s why rather than trying to change people’s mind on the internet, I’ve resorted to just ridiculing them instead.

I mean, Lemmy has the exact same potential for issues with admins and mods - the key difference being that if those issues happen you can just up and off to another instance without having to abandon Lemmy altogether.

Have you tried Liftoff? Way better than Connect or Jerboa in my opinion.

I never see Liftoff recommended in these kinds of threads. It’s my favourite app so far out of Thunder, Connect, and Jerboa.

But that’s the great thing about Lemmy - you can just go to another instance and continue using Lemmy if you disagree with some admins decisions.

What’s your complaint?

Depends how we define ‘overcome’ really. I mean, if cooperation is evidence of overcoming it then the question doesn’t need to be asked.

If we’re talking about our biological instinct for tribalism, well that’s why we’re having the conversation isn’t it.

Yes. Reductive in a crude way, not clarifying. I don’t think the parent comment at all implied humans are inherently bad and the occasional good doesn’t matter.

Rather inversely, humans are tribalistic but achieve good in spite of tribalism.

That’s a bit of a reductive take on the parent comment.

Human nature to cooperate and share is not mutually exclusive with forming in-groups and out-groups.

Well the prototype wasn’t even legs, so maybe we should just come up with an entirely new model?

I vote hexapod.

I actually find I scroll longer - the content is better ha.

Thank god for Karma.

YOU. You’re the reason I had to endure that unending two day borefest! /jk

Yeah - what I meant by ‘unilateral’ is that beehaw defederating from .world is that .world users can’t interact with beehaw communities, PLUS beehaw.org users can’t interact with .world communities.

Unilateral defederation to me would mean the first case, but not the second.

I’d actually prefer it if they opened up to me.

On the internet, everyone is a man or an FBI agent.

Ah, okay - thanks for the explanation.

I do like the idea of multi-winner elections because of the increased chance of having a representative for your specific issues taken to a national assembly. In the UK things are split up into boroughs, which seems illogical for cities and aside from being grandfathered in likely only persists because it enables gerrymandering.

You sure about that? I’m pretty certain that unilateral defederation is not possible yet.

No no, I was asking about the differences between Single Transferable Vote and STAR - not RCV/IRV.

I’m trying to figure out the pros and cons of the STAR Voting method versus the pros and cons of the STV method. Can anyone help fill me in?
