The age old mantra of authoritarians and corrupt officials. What use is it to point out wrongs from the past if nothing will ever be done about it .... and worse will be repeated again in the future?
I added some code to PieFed which automatically deletes posts by new accounts that self-delete. It worked so I had to use my lemmy.world account to reply.
That sounds like a fantastic contribution to the fediverse.
Sounds like suspicious behaviour. So removing and even tracking that kinda crap would be some great tooling!
Perhaps an addition would be something that notifies people that interact with the deleted post/user to let them know of the deleted accounts behaviour.
Sorry for the late reply, but what do you figure they're doing it for? Or is there a trend towards articles that push a certain agenda?
I can see that it could be problematic, and that federated link aggregation platforms like PieFed and Lemmy are currently a little vulnerable to this, especially if they become more popular – just wondering about this instance!
What are you talking about? We cancelled all public events and asked people to not have parties. We also encouraged people to get the vaccine among other things.
When the government asks people to do something in Sweden then most people here will listen and take their responsibility.

Don't ask for permission ... ask for forgiveness

How did you know they were going to do that?

We have someone who does it every day. Makes an account, posts lots and lots, then deletes their account.

Sweden didn't do anything in response to covid and it wasn't any worse there than places that took extreme precaution

Sweden has 10 million people and lots of space, even in the cities. Public transport there isn't even close to being under capacity

Then why were covid stats in norway almost identical?
tetris11@feddit.uk · 3 pts · 273d
Because same, surely? If your population is sparse enough, no infection will be much of a problem, even in the cities
