I’m not a fan of their decision, but not having public repositories definitely isn’t the same thing as going closed source.

It’s invalid, not invalid. You have the emphasis on the wrong syllable. English is dumb.

Not really. That has to be a bug in kbin, not a problem with Lemmy. Lemmy allows admins to delete stuff off their own instance, but kbin shouldn’t be just accepting that as a mod action from any admin on any server it’s federated with. That doesn’t even make sense. I assume it’s just a weird interaction of different ways of handling things on kbin and Lemmy.

A phone is a radio broadcast device. If you’re sending something unencrypted from it, anyone nearby can listen in to what it’s sending. Of course, it’s all compressed and sent with different protocols depending on what app you’re using, so it’s not trivial to read messages from everyone to everyone all the time, but if someone is determined it’s quite doable. SMS messages in particular are famous for having that happen to them, but it can happen with any unencrypted message.

You completely missed my point. Reddit pretends that downvotes aren’t supposed to be used as an easy disagree button. That pretension is the behavior I want to leave behind. If we’re going to have a downvote button at all, lets acknowledge how it will be used instead of pretending we can change human nature with an FAQ.

Downvoting has always been used as an easy disagree button in every platform that has ever had it. Why not stop pretending it means something else and just embrace how it will inevitably be used anyway?
