Yeah. If you’re on a public forum accessible to anyone, which the whole fediverse is, then you should never assume privacy.
Honestly transparency in this regard would be better - they’re already visible to much of the community, so they might as well be visible to everyone.
To be fair, there’s a point to be made that someone who’s overly trigger-happy on dislike should be shamed for it. Just like you would be if you kept being snide to everyone in real life.
I agree that transparency would do much more good than harm, plus compared to the info that people already put in their profiles/comments, it’s not likely to make them anymore identifiable.
Votes should absolutely be public. They were on KBin, and it made people more civil for it because you could be shamed if you were dislike trolling or liking all of your own posts/comments to make them look better (which is something you actively have to do on here, unlike Reddit).
Given this place is pseudo-anonymous anyways, and people comment far more personal and identifiable info here anyways (which tbf you should be careful about), I think public votes would do much more good than harm.
While I wouldn’t wish death on anyone, it would probably be one of the better things to happen to American politics this year, as you’d essentially be beheading the MAGA movement - it is unlikely that anyone else could retake those reigns with how centred the movement is around Trump specifically, man’s practically worshipped like a new Jesus to them.
20 episodes in a single day is a slog, even for a show you like.
Unless you’re watching a dub, you can’t just listen, you have to be watching the whole time otherwise you miss the sub and have to go back - so you have to be giving your full concentration.
Personally I find it quite hard to my full concentration for more than a couple of hours - nevermind the 7 hours it would take to pull this off.
I’m in no position to tell you to stay or go, after all it’s your life to lead, nobody else’s…
Having said that, I can’t help but notice from taking a rather cursory glance at your post history that most of your posts are pretty well up-voted.
The only posts where you seem to be heavily down-voted are political posts, which by their very nature will invite disagreement - this is especially true when the posts you’re making touch upon rather controversial/inflammatory topics.
And if that’s what you’re complaining about being down-voted for, then you’ve really only yourself to blame for inviting that disagreement into your life.
Just having read the README, even if it’s a little faffy, the idea of being able to converse with someone and have it be translated back in near real-time is awesome!
This is the kind of application I was looking forward to seeing come out of open source AI - I think it’d still be a little too clunky to save you in an emergency, but probably less clunky for most people than learning a new language or having a human translator on retainer haha
My first instinct is to say “No shit Sherlock”, of course people who get paid more for their projects can afford to contribute more time to them…
but I do understand that having empirical documented evidence of something, even of it should be common sense, is really important, cause common sense isn’t as common as people think it is (especially when a lot of people in power seem to quite intentionally lack it)
