also: don’t go to an american journalist, pick one from a country that has strong legal protections and the budget for meaningful legal representation like der speigal in germany.

so many people use lemmy now that i’m surprised that it’s still at major version 0.

what’s your threshold for reaching version 1?

including you.

inside you as well and with the only intent of “teaching you a lesson” for not obeying them.

cpb, ice, & the police are cut from the same thin-blue-line cloth.

a /scaled version of new comments is what i’m looking for.

popular opinion is one thing; those people appear to be willfully ignoring reality.

there was a post yesterday on asklemmy from someone who wanted to escape fascism by going to italy and i got downvoted for trying to make them aware that italy is doing the same shit, like this posts describes.

i wish i could understand why they assumed that italy isn’t fascist when they literally elected a fascist leader and made worse anti-lgbt laws than the americans have done (so far).

/scaled already seems to this and it helps with the posts themselves and, yes, shows posts out of chronological order; but helps a lot with seeing posts that would ordinarily get drowned out with /new.

i was proposing the same thing as /scaled, but with comments and/or votes instead of just the posts themselves since /scaled doesn’t seem to work with the comments feed.

How would you improve it?

a way to filter out posts that have no engagement or comments from others would be helpful since the larger instances flood my feed w hundreds/thousands of news links that flood out the discourse on lemmy.

i somewhat get around this insisting that i use a kvm/linux based virtual machine; but i doubt that it’s very effective given that i’m still using my employer’s vpn connection and software.
