Because it allows banks to lend out money they don't have and when the banks lobby hard enough to completely remove whats left of the gold standard, the sky's the limit for lending out money. Creating money out of thin air increases inflation. However, in a weird way it impoverishes the lower classes while inriching the elite class because the latter tends to better connected and therefor closer to the "monetary spigot". This allows the elite class to buy up everything(land, companies, lobby/bribe governments)from the top down like a game of pacman.

so forcing us to watch them feels like a huge overstep.

We live in a fascist society so I wouldn't be suprised of their audacity..

If it's not open source and its tacked on to Chromium which is already bloated, why compare it to Firefox?

Sorry for my ignorance but why would it be a nightmare to implement over Activitypub? Would there be an issue with approved editor accounts from other instances?

I don't know if I would consider wiki pages the threshold for feature creep. It's been a basic feature for Reddit mods ever since I joined Reddit 10 years ago. Therefore it existed before all the new.Reddit features were thrown in. Mods use wikis for directories, tutorials, archiving select content, and bot configs. Yes you could link to external wiki pages but IMO the experience for reading, editing, and adjusting settings would not be as seemless.

Sorry but I fail to see why support for wikis would be synonymous with corporate social media. IMHO, it's a fundamental tool to have.

Yeah this whole comment thread is not very reassuring about Lemmy and reveals it's just as vulnerable to manipulation. The r/Privacy thread on Reddit was far more honest.

I imagine some sort of autocomplete feature could be made which provides a dropdown menu of communities and instances based on what you type after "/c/".

By that logic, Firefox would be in the same boat. After initially installing, you have to turn off data collection in the settings and disable Pocket in the config.

Experienced mods moving from Reddit to Lemmy would expect support for integrated wiki pages since it's been a basic feature for so long. They use them for creating directories, tutorials, and all kinds of resources. My sense is that making wikis a separate project on the Fediverse would be too clunky, although I admit it's an interesting idea.

EDIT: They can also be used for bot configs just like AutoMod, which is a separate feature request in itself.

Going to need support for wiki pages first.

For the first option you mentioned, a user already suggested a service called Hubziller. My issue with it is it might be a bit tacky or confusing for readers if they subscribe to a community but have to visit a separate service to access wikis, instead of making them in house. Maybe it's just me being stubborn and not thinking outside the box since I've been a mod on Reddiy for 10 years, but that's my humble opinion.

The second option is a more practical solution for here and now but it doesn't allow for collective editing or reverting changes.

On banking websites, yes.

Interesting. Thanks.

different instances might see different events.

Why would this happen? Does it have to do with not running the latest software? If so, it seems to me like a responsibility the server admins should be mindful of.

Do you reject both of them and keep the old content?

Why not simply reject both but save them in the history tab and then send PMs to both users involved to inform them of the conflict?

I live in the US. If I turn on uBlock for banking websites, they often don't work.

No, fractional reserve banking demands endless growth because debts can't be paid off with interest since the extra money to pay the interest didn't initially exist. Therefore, banks have to lend out more money they don't have so the prior debts can be paid off but in the process they create more debt. But those following loans come with more interest which leads to the insatiable need for more growth in the economy by loaning more money.

Why not trigger it when someone types "/c/". Using an exclamation mark isn't intuitive.

That's crony capitalism.

Sold out our quality of life? People would be spending weeks out of their lives commuting to work and back without cars. There are no perfect solutions. Only trade-offs. And no I would rather not live in a dense city where I'm stacked on top of other people. However, if I could telecommute to work, I'd prefer that, but I know working from home isn't for everyone either. We don't need one size fits all solutions.

IE sucked though. Chrome doesn't.
