@[email protected], I’m seeing some reports on this post that this is a meme / shitpost (screenshots from a TV show) and not actually a photo. It’s possible you aren’t seeing those reports due to cross-instance moderation issues

I remember seeing articles about people leaving their doors open or windows down in places with lots of smash and grabs

Sounds great, cheers!

Also @[email protected], I’m sorry for letting this task fall through the cracks. I know we talked about finding new mods for this community a few months ago. Would you still be interested in moderating this community?

Thank you, I have added you as a moderator!

I do also hope that you have access to some local supports with the homelessness. I’m not from the Toronto area, and it feels arrogant for me to try and make suggestions for your situation, but I imagine there are others on this platform that have relevant experience to share if you ever need it :)

As for moderation, we have some partially written guides here: https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/for-moderators

Let us know if you need help with anything from the admin level

It feels like being back on the playground

“nuh uh, my laser is 1000% more powerful”

“oh yea, mine is googleplex googolplex percent more powerful”

This is so detailed, especially the ISP bit. Thank you!

Feel free to cross post to [email protected] :)

Another thing you can try is force refreshing the page. On a lot of browsers, you can do that by hitting the refresh button while holding down the shift key

Do you have any custom CSS / theme enabled, or a browser extension that might be blocking the icon?

I don’t see any restrictions on your account, and I’m fairly certain that it’s not possible to block downvotes like that. Nonetheless I’ll pass this along to the rest of the team to check if anyone knows anything.

We can take action if someone is abusing the downvotes (ex. Following someone around and down voting everything they post), but we do that by banning the account. Those actions will be listed in the modlog. See here: https://piefed.ca/modlog?mod_action=&suspect_user_name=Ofiuco%40piefed.ca&communities=&user_name=&submit=Search

Looking at our dashboard, I don’t see any unusual voting activity on your account that would justify admin action.

I find it odd, but a lot of newer users on Reddit go with the default suggested username and those follow the word-word-0000 template.

At the same time, it might be better for privacy to do that since it’s less likely that someone can track you across platforms if you use the generator built into each platform.

Downvotes should be enabled, what are you seeing on your client?

Looks great!

I had to double-check what Deflock was for:

DeFlock’s mission is simple: to shine a light on the widespread use of ALPR technology, raise awareness about the threats it poses to personal privacy and civil liberties, and empower the public to take action.

This app makes it easy to view and report AI powered surveillance cameras, automatic license plate readers (ALPRs), and other surveillance infrastructure near you.

Sharing information about where cameras are located is terrorism now?

🙄

To be fair, someone else did post about it last week and they had rules about that.

I love having new people here, but I also don’t want newcomers to feel spammed. Nor give Reddit any justification for going back to auto removing any discussion of Reddit alternatives.

Thanks 😄, I tried to help out the best I could

Pretty much, that’s what I understood it to mean anyway

I assume the phrase has been used in other contexts too

I understood “making it” as accomplishing what you were pretending to be, often in the context of self-confidence

• someone is scared of public speaking and thinks they’re no good at it
• they pretend that they are someone who is good at it, in order to get through situations where they need to do public speaking
• they eventually just get good at it

Regional Instances for Quick Join sounds cool, looking forward to it :)

Last I saw, they had rules against self promotion. I’m not sure if this qualifies, but at the very least we could post it in their self promotion specific thread.

I’d recommend including a lot more details in your post about your machine, your budget, why you want to do it, etc
