Can't believe that I'm defending downvoters. But downvoting does not always mean that they disagree with the message of a post. Some even just use it as a "mark as read" button, some fat fingered, some might think it doesn't belong in this community.
yeah i was gonna say, i support the post's message but i don't see it as a "late stage capitalism" thing. these things happen even outside late stage capitalism, so that's rather unrelated.
(i upvoted btw)
might be better into the world news, political or sth community
They are free to argue in the comments if they don't agree with the post itself, otherwise it's fine to assume that they are crypto-zionists and shame them.
I habitually downvote anything referring to the site formerly known as twitter, especially if it's a pointless screenshot. Glad I read a bit further into this one if that is your attitude.
Why is the screenshot even nessecary? Does somebody think that posting on X is somehow more legitimate than anywhere else?
I also downvote about 10 posts a day entirely by accident because the downvote button on my screen is about 4 pixels and rests in the natural scroll area.
My point is that a downvote probably doesn't always mean what you think it does.
Even then, I think it’s a bad precedent. It makes Lemmy feel toxic.
I don’t think votes should be private (as that leads to all sorts of complications, especially with fighting bots/spammers), but I think Lemmy/Piefed should encourage a culture of not highlighting it, unless it’s strictly for a spammer or some other objective rules violation.
The likely chilling effects are obvious to me. Who’d want to (intentionally or accidentally) tap a button on this site when someone’s gonna post your username for it?
Punishment for using default features is concerning for a platform. If we needed thought police they’d probably make downvotes more visible to us.
We can already keep bad content in its place by downvoting it ourselves. We can use logs to investigate brigaging and stalking-to-downvote and suspicious mass upvoting, etc. We owe other users restraint if we want them to come back.
I kinda want to mirror this to the fediverse with a bot to 1. Make more people see it and 2. Mirror it so when it gets taken down its distributed on here.
Yeah, I'm real torn. On one hand, I immediately want to scrape this site, but I also don't want to beat the site up tying up their bandwidth. There seems to be a parent site db4p.org thats managing mirrors of this site, but I don't see any sort of torrent or archive. If there's something like that, I'd be very inclined to just archive the entire site/database.
Mmm… such a bot could run once every 24 hours either “visiting the site” and reading the HTML contents. Or using the DB directly if they have an API somewhere.
wait is that website a fediverse instance actually?
also if you do mirror it, make sure to do it in an efficient way. for example, some websites offer one large download to archive the whole site, like wikipedia. is less strain on the server than scraping each page individually.
You may want to create a specific community for that to avoid flooding other communities, and post summaries on other communities every week/month if you do this.
Just a tip to avoid getting banned for spamming communities.
Yeah, I looked further now and the company is Environmental Services Research Institute, Esri, headquartered in California.
At first I saw some Swedish contact details and had hope that we might be able to withstand the pressure from Israel, but I wanted confirmation and then found out that is was indeed a US company.
Esri make tools for working with geographic information (gis) and have a hosting platform for your creations. It should be possible to self host but that might be more expensive.
The genociders don't care about their slave workers and left them to be killed by diaper forces helicopters probably.
Like those scum don't let Palestinians in bomb shelters.
Anyway they shouldn't have been there.
they're probably better of, can't imagine how they got treated by these racist zio monsters.
Like those poor workers who go to these barbaric gulf states.
Ooooooh you're in for a treat then! Just a few years ago in 2022 he released all his songs from copyright and you can check out every song on his website! (Or any YouTube video of course)
So... I think the website as it is described here would be extremely important to have. One caveat I have is, are we sure this is safe and also, real?
I'm sorry, it's just that, Israel is known for all kinds of fuckery, and it's good to be careful when clicking links you know. And I'm no expert so I couldn't tell if it is some dangerous psyop shit.
If there are no concerns I'd be delighted, just being cautious I guess. Anyway, Free Palestine, from the River to the Sea and Free Lebanon.

Votes are technically public, so technically there’s nothing wrong with this, but doxxing voters still feels slimey.

Doxxing implies I provided personally identifying info like home addresses, work locations, telephone numbers, other social media accounts, etc.
brucethemoose@lemmy.world · -11 pts · 86d
You know what I meant. Encouraging brigading, to be more precise.
Lemmy keeps that info hidden by default for a reason.

So you don't know brigading is either?
brucethemoose@lemmy.world · -3 pts · 86d
Lemmy hides it by default. They hide it for a reason, whatever you want to define that reason as.
It feels icky to work around by posting the list of downvotes.
I’ll debate over that, but I’m not going to beat around the bush or start a snarky semantics argument over a linguistic error I made.
Hadriscus@jlai.lu · 4 pts · 86d

brucethemoose@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 86d

Calling users out for defending genocide isn't doxxing. Finding out their real names, addresses, places of work, etc..
That's Doxxing.
