- Comment on When I sort by "newest" why is the top post a month old? 2 hours ago:
Do you mean lemm.ee/post/56789435?scrollToComments=true maybe? Several people in there seem to be complaining about the same thing, but it’s not happening for me on my instance, not sure what’s going on.

When you sort what by “newest”?
- Comment on Wikipedia not rendering math formulas? 1 day ago:
You can click the edit or view source link and try to figure out what it’s supposed to say from there. This is certainly an error on the Wikimedia Foundation servers’ side. There used to be IRC channels where you could make the sysadmins aware of problems like this, not sure those still exist.
- Comment on Wikipedia not rendering math formulas? 1 day ago:
The Wikimedia Foundation server’s “localhost”, i.e. the computer the wiki software is running from. That does make sense.
- Comment on Do I need to choose a language when posting on Lemmy? 2 days ago:
There’s a language selection option in your preferences. Some people may have that set up to not show “undetermined” although at least on my instance the interface warns that people won’t see most content if they deselect that.
I never select a language when commenting, though have done so a few times before (not recently) when starting new threads. It seems that sometimes this is automatically determined, although I can’t tell what this depends on.

- Comment on Was the supreme court wrong to assess that because america is a capitalist society money is a form of speach? 1 week ago:
My understanding of the ruling you mean is that it decided that freedom of speech includes the right to spend money in order to speak, which is not an extremely far-fetched idea. You may still think the consequences are bad, of course… but let’s focus on what actually happened.
- Comment on Why can humans seemingly only imagine like 3 different forms of government in different flavors? 1 week ago:
There already are some differences in government structures between countries.
Why are many of them similar? I think it’s a combination of these:
- countries that became newly independent or rewrote their constitution looked at other countries for inspiration
- Many (older) countries followed a somewhat similar path from being absolute monarchies to aristocracies (with nobles represented in a parliament which then became increasingly more powerful than the monarch) to the parliament becoming elected by all of the people to, in some countries, the monarchy being abolished and replaced by a president (essentially an elected monarch).

- Comment on [META] What instance receives the least amount of downvotes on average per comment? 1 week ago:
As far as I understand ActivityPub (which, admittedly, is only very rudimentarily), downvotes are an action like any other: you perform them on your instance, then the instance sends them to the instance the community is hosted on, then that instance sends them to all instances which have users who are subscribed to it.
An instance which has disabled downvotes will ignore all of that, i.e. will not store downvotes or forward them to anyone. If you look at beehaw.org you can see all posts and comments are displayed with zero downvotes, even if you view them from another instance.

Will you, at some point, be done asking vague questions about authoritarianism that don’t have a clear and objective answer?
- Comment on [META] What instance receives the least amount of downvotes on average per comment? 1 week ago:
Ah, that is even easier, TIL
- Comment on [META] What instance receives the least amount of downvotes on average per comment? 1 week ago:
beehaw definitely
“how that functions exactly” - well, you just change the code to ignore it when a user does try to downvote something, don’t store it in the database or forward it to other users/servers…
- Comment on Is it possible to switch instances without making a new account? 1 week ago:
If you click “Instances” in the page footer and then switch to the tab “Blocked Instances”, you’ll find which instances your server has blocked, you can’t see any posts or comments by users or in communities on instances on that list.
You may be satisfied with that practice or might not, the point is that the fediverse enables you to choose.
- Comment on I have been thinking and am curious what are the worst qualities of authoritarianism that make it so unbreably bad for populations? Why do rulers come to turn towards authoritarianism in tough times? 2 weeks ago:
It’s been a long time since I watched it, but this video www.youtube.com/watch?v=rStL7niR7gs contained some interesting information that helped me think about the topic better; maybe that will be true for you too.

- Comment on Did people experience doom scrolling with newspapers and magazines? 3 weeks ago:
How do you define doomscrolling? A newspaper or magazine inherently only has a limited number of pages.
- Comment on Is cops being evil/lazy/incompetent a USA specific thing, or is it the same everywhere in the world? 3 weeks ago:
I remember reading that police training in most other countries takes a much longer time and much more effort than in the US. I am sure this is a factor.
- Comment on What happens when I ignore the cookie preference dialogue on websites? 3 weeks ago:
and in practice, if you want a website not to recognize you from one place to the next, you need to make it TECHNICALLY impossible for them to do that (depending on severity: private browsing, IP changing, Tor), not just legally declare you don’t want them to

- Comment on Anon experiences freedom 3 weeks ago:
The thing is that by now, plenty of adults grew up watching porn when they were minors, and know that this hasn’t been harmful to them… so why are we even still getting laws like that, shouldn’t voters and their representatives know better by now…
- Comment on Can I still consider myself a “young woman” after I turn 24? I turn 24 in March (next month). 4 weeks ago:
I used to think that but for “anyone born in a year after my birth year”, but now I look at some such people and realize that all people eventually turn older. :/ OP is a lot younger than even that though.
