The polls are all starting to show the Liberals gaining on the Conservatives, they're just showing the trend starting at different times. Ipsos, Nanos, and the others are even showing the rate of change being similar to the EKOS polls (the most recent of which have the Libs and Cons in a statistical tie), just starting several weeks later.

There's enough runway to make this interesring, and enough Trump to keep the trends going.

Downvotes are already a questionable design choice, which encourage passive-aggressive drive-by behaviour rather than engaging with and countering challenging ideas. They're kind of a dark feature, which give the user a sense of participation, or worse, the sense of being a cop, while contributing nothing.

They are catharsis without praxis, and they almost certainly contribute to online toxicity.

Actually giving them forum or site moderation power is... Well, it sure is doubling down on that feeling like a cop thing.

And what are all cops?

Going to get Nuralink to market, though.

Holy shit, it's going gold!

There will never be "a lemmy". There's no canonical "lemmy" out there. There is only 1000 independent websites, sharing select content with select neighbours.

We either accept this, or we return to corporate social media.

Clearly you don't own a significant amount of stock in FedEx.

There's no lack of dead sports communities around. Turning them into dead sport bot communities doesn't sound like it would help. Sports fans aren't going to show up for that.

Going through the effort of manually posting screenshots in the sports communities would go way farther than getting a bot to cross post.

It’s important to separate the provincial NDP from the federal NDP. They each have their faults, but they’re different faults, and we shouldn’t blame the provincial parties for things Singh has done, and we shouldn’t blame Singh for things provincial NDP parties have done.

I mean, they're the same party. Literally. They have different entities within them focused on different geographical regions, but your provincial and federal NDP memberships are one and the same thing.

Well, this looks adorable. Why does there have to be so much cute or fun looking stuff that demands my money? Don't they know it's a limited resource??!?

I cannot express enough how much this works for the Liberals. Trump continuing to rattle his sabre at us through the Liberal leadership campaign and inevitable general election is basically a gift to Trudeau, his successor, and his party.

If Trump wants to keep bloviating until PP's electoral chances are dead and gone, I don't think JT's going to do anything to get in his way.

There is no "here" here. They're being removed on some websites, and not on others.
