Yes, but as a custom notification channel on the IT OPs channel. That’s where we send system alerts. Outage notifications, script notices, etc…

Then talk with your other mods… close that community and open one somewhere that does disable them. I just don’t buy the excuse in the 3 pixel image from the mod basically blanket saying that downvotes are just for manipulation… Yeah I’d be a loser to go somewhere and only downvote every single thing… but I don’t see how 100% of a single user downvoting literally every item is manipulation at all, everything would go down pretty equally.

I go out of my way to downvote things that I think don’t contribute. I don’t necessarily upvote everything that does contribute, but things that I believe contribute extraordinarily. So if you were to look at my vote history this mod might think that I’m “mass vote manipulating”. That’s kind of crazy to put yourself under such workload to look at all votes like that. If downvote manipulation is the worry, just disabled the downvote or move somewhere that has already disabled the downvotes.

I want to say CLM… If a community really doesn’t want downvotes, why not setup the community on an instance that doesn’t do downvoting?

If downvoting is “manipulation” just because you don’t like it… why allow downvotes at all? Lemmy supports disabling downvotes. It’s a checkbox for the admin. It’s easy.

You should stop lemmying while in the shower. Bad for your electronic device.

My dad just had surgery to clear a massive DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis)… and it seems to be semi-hereditary for my family so I listened to the doctor pretty closely. If he had exerted himself in any way that broke off even a little bit of the clot, he would have died… Would it be the injuries fault or the clots fault?

Anyone who solely blames an injury that dislodges the clot is missing the forest for the trees. In my dad’s case, it was a ticking time bomb for literally anything to dislodge it. Could have been as simple as walking that could have done it. They immobilized his leg immediately. In this case, for an injury the day prior… to be the dislodge event is a bit odd. It would have been pretty immediate from my understanding, it’s likely the injury loosened it, and some other inane event dislodged it completely. The clot already existed… and many other events could have triggered it to dislodge.

If this is the only individual that can be used as the example… I’m not onboard personally.

Off-topic is not a rule of the community

Uhh you sure about that chief?

Post only about bans or other sanctions that you have received from a mod or admin.

It’s right there… first rule. My sidebar of my instance has nothing to do with this post, or mods, or admins, or any sanctions you would receive.

You got but hurt that I (and somebody else) downvoted you and then started asking questions about my instance, without even tagging me to ask me… That’s literally the definition of off topic. That is the reason it was removed. What more discussion would tagging db0 net you?

BTW… I downvoted you because I didn’t think the comment actually further discussion and specifically shuts down any meaningful discussion. Not sure what the verbiage in my sidebar has to do with any of that.

You can read the mod log. No reason to harass anyone when the reason is already spelled out.

But since you want to take screenshots and question my instance.

It’s effectively a single user instance. That is what I mean by private lemmy instance. I have a handful of users on my instance that are all people I directly know. The implication is that I will not accept general people signing up to my instance, thus “private”.

No idea what they’re implying either. I downvoted them because I didn’t think the comment actually further discussion and specifically shuts down any meaningful discussion. Apparently that is “some interesting attention”.

Top xx% may get “with distinction”. I held a 4.13 (capped at 4.0). I went on to teach at the institution for a few years after graduating as well. So I’ve spent a significant amount of time in academia.

But because of the higher standard for grad schools, typically requiring a 3.0+ to stay active (rather than the typical undergrad 2.0), latin honors dont make sense if the whole grad year is basically getting them. So they’re not commonly issued.

graduated Summa Cum Laude in […] her Master’s degrees

Graduate programs generally do not do Latin honors…

Nothing special about it. It’s just an aggregate/repack of the smaller torrents that broke them out by letter groupings. They’re the same exact files otherwise.

There’s been a lot of posts that say “azaz” or “aazaz” or some other variant lately. I ignore them all at this point… but I’m surprised that admins haven’t started banning them from their instances on sight… This post has been up way too long. Mods are clearly sleeping.

There’s also Wix for very simple page builds.

Your in self hosting community… You can’t build in Wix and selfhost. Wix relies on their infrastructure always being present.

Their understanding of math is the gore.

Just so happens that I’m the god of gluttony.

If your neighbour can also get symmetrical internet with a residential contract, then that would be the better example to prove his point wrong.

Sure, but I don’t get their bill now do I?

A business contract is not a good comparison because they usually are symmetrical for a premium price regardless of the quality of the residential internet in your area.

Which was the point of me bringing it up… my price is likely higher than my neighbor. But I know that the same speeds are available. Symmetric.

Once again though… Without more information we can’t actually compare but at face value… I pay 5.89 times for for presumably 8-80 times more speed. EVEN ON MY BUSINESS CONTRACT. Hard to say that their service is categorically better than mine…

He provided details about his non-business internet being symmetrical and YOU compared it to your business contract line, that’s literally how it started.

To my residential house… of which my neighbor can get the same service, under a residential contract. Also they didn’t say if their internet was residential or not.

The cost is to prove that Americans do not have easy access to the same level of internet his country has, which is his main point. You needed to purchase a business line to have it symmetrical, which is not accessible to the everyone.

No. My neighbor can also get 8/8, under a different SLA as residential. I only provided “under business contract” because that changes the price.

Just because you can pay 100 times the cost of healthcare in European countries to get high quality heathcare in America, it doesn’t mean the average American can afford to go to the hospital or that your healthcare system is just as good. The same thing applies to your internet.

You’re not making a good look for your stance when you over hyperbolize the situation. I pay 5.89 times more… for what could be 8-80 times more speed. We don’t know because THERE IS NOT ENOUGH INFORMATION.

You need to scroll up and pay attention.

Them:

My ISP offers symmetrical […] glad I’m not American

Me:

As someone living in America, I have great internet

Them:
<Requests direct information about cost>

Me:
<I oblige>

Them:
<makes a comparison without qualifying anything about the comparison, claiming theirs to be superior>

Me:
<calls it out>

They provided no details at all… this whole engagement. We still don’t actually know what speeds they even get for their mere 28USD. Could be 100mbps and it would be significantly worse by ever metric than my 8gbps. I can’t compare my service to something that we have no details for.

Are you okay?

I didn’t compare mine to yours at all. You’re the one that said your 28 USD service was a better deal. YOU made the comparison. YOU asked for the details.

Yup the old one… here’s the new one too… still unaddressed
