I thought this was good news, until I read the comments.

If the courts aren’t giving up, don’t give up either.

Let’s stop normalizing this rolling over business, eh?

I feel like deeper conversations are still to be had with the people who understand you most, even if you’re not the closest with them IRL or online. That said, it doesn’t happen for me as much as I’d like it to for a number of circumstances.

That said, is it just me, or is everyone we see in daily life looking like they aged 10 years in the last few? People in the grocery store checkout, office workplace, manufacturing floor, next door, whatever human interaction capacity. Are we all aging like crazy from sheer lack of certainty in anything anymore?

Or like, is our planet’s 420ppm carbon dioxide level (which if I’m doing my mental math correctly is a 30% increase in atmospheric CO2 from just 1980ish) actually really fucking terrible for humans and we are dying as a species in real time, right before our eyes???

Fuck me.

I mean we’re fersure getting dumber.

Also this might actually be a decent deep conversation starter. (I guess we should keep trying to compensate for the CO2 dumbness somehow.)

I took a career aptitude test and it told me I should have been a software engineer and idk if that has anything to do with this, but…

Tl;dr: I got high and there’s got to be a way to do it in this here vote-time continuum!

On a superficial level, couldn’t you get creative with lemmy community settings (using a new sister community) and create only pinned posts/threads (may be subject to mod approval) which are then autosorted by new comments using some scripty pinned post reordering logic? That probably could only apply to a single community though…

The extent of my web design knowledge is limited to fuckin around with myspace html buuut, with more lemmy UI settings, could users elect that certain posts are “forum” worthy? As in, “this is a meme teehee” or “this is a topic worthy of revisiting over a greater period of time” kind of thing. And barring any weird astroturfing, these posts get “pinned” to be revived at the top of the community whenever some reply or top level comment threshold is passed. Inversely, pinned posts could fall away into an archived state after a certain period of no activity, much like the rest of lemmy that’s over a week old (whether it’s actually no longer active or not).

Getting pinned (hehe) would probably require meeting various straightforward thresholds (like relative or absolute vote value and/or the ratio of upvotes to “pins”). That could determine a sep for how long a post/thread remains subject to revival by reply.

If this configuration were applied to lemmy in general, I think to encourage participation, I’d say it should be an opt-out situation when visiting a specific community (do you want to see community-pinned posts?) and an opt-in situation when choosing to include “active archives” content in a homepage feed.

Not really sure about implementation, but to me it just becomes a secondary voting system as a means to value longevity of a topic, and various ways of incorporating those data into user sorts, community pages, and news feeds that might want to utilize.

Simple as that, right?

Holy f u c k .

All of what follows from me here is completely speculative based on the article summary and your very, very insightful, horrifying addition.

The “Supreme Court” doing a “good thing” in frankly both maga and non-maga groups’ eyes would basically be them attempting to placate the masses with a contrived hope for relief and, perhaps, a false sense of governmental integrity.

Maybe the SEC now maintains a way sharper grip on publicly trading companies for some reason, idk like some weird fasc-on-fasc rank enforcement shit. Or maybe taxes. Probably bribes. Anyway the corps are possibly being “urged” to steady their prices, giving us folks a wee break in this economical trainwreck, as “proof” that “returning” the tariffs helped in some way.

I mean, with the number of companies bending the goddamn knee in the stupidest ways, you have to wonder if they weren’t, ahem, “targeted,” in some additional way. I’ll bet in some way, the corps ran the numbers and figured they’d stand to lose less money shedding DEI supporters than whatever they’ve been told they stood, or still stand, to lose.

Honestly at this point I think all these rich and/or bought mfers in top fed positions are just creating their golden parachutes, like any good CEO would really, before the bottom drops out. Before the country’s company’s brain, ineffective and tripping on its own chemicals, finally dies, and is quickly liquified, the body already robbed for spare parts. Whatever heart that entity (theoretically) may have had, it shut down a long time ago.
