otter, to asklemmy in What made up board/card game would be hard to sell to the public either by name or by concept?

Isn’t that how the game works? You buy everything from the bank, but at least the bank doesn’t take advantage of that monopoly

otter, to news in Mexican cartel forces locals to pay for makeshift Wi-Fi under threat of death

This is an awful situation and I hope the people caught up in this make it out ok.

As respectfully as possible, I’m curious what the service and speeds are like for that price

otter, to privacy in I deleted all my post from my reddit account, can they still monetize them?

I’m not sure about what the backup schedule and stuff has to do with it, but I don’t think it helps much:

  • deleted posts don’t come up in Google searches after a while
  • deleted comments might be counted in the comment count on a post someone navigates to (not sure), so at most the post will initially appear to have more content which might get someone to click

Marginal change at best, it’s probably not worth your time thinking about it

otter, to privacy in Using Disinformation Like A Pro

Is this just about lying on data forms?

John Smith 1900-01-01

I’d rather we use some other term for it instead of disinformation. Even if the official definition works, it’s unnecessary confusion

Yea a friend really likes it. I think the big stores carry it too but for sure smaller independent ones do in the city

otter, to twoxchromosomes in Uttar Pradesh: Dalit teen cooked alive for protesting against molestation

For those that didn’t click the article

Lodging a complaint at the Binauli police station on Saturday, the woman’s brother said that on Wednesday, she was working at the cauldron when Pramod, Raju and Sandeep allegedly molested and misbehaved with his sister. When she protested, the accused allegedly threw her into the hot cauldron with the intention of killing her, and also hurled “casteist words” at her. After this, the three accused fled.

otter, to asklemmy in Why was Ronald Reagan and Nancy Reagan so bad for the American people?

To expand, their policies were harmful and we’re still dealing with the consequences of them

  • “trickle-down” policies, which widened income inequality and increased national debt
  • initial inaction during the AIDS crisis made the epidemic and stigma a lot worse. It’s only recently that we’re starting to effectively deal with the illness
  • “War on Drugs” got worse under Reagan, with mass incarceration that disproportionately affected minority communities. Also the “Just Say No” campaign oversimplified the issue instead of addressing the underlying causes. Again, we’re only now starting to shift those policies into something that’s more productive
otter, to asklemmy in Thoughts on reddit reposter bots?

Worse than spam, spam at least has a point to it.

Ehh, it’s very clearly labeled for what the purpose is and it’s also easy to block (if someone is using the NEW feed and is affected by the volume of posts).

Some people want the functionality of the bot and a big part of the Fediverse is to bring control of a platform back to the user. Lemmit is providing that functionality the right way

Ah ok, I think they haven’t federated over for me. I’ll keep an eye out for more :)

otter, to newcommunities in Flipped Forecasts

Sounds fun!

If you make a sample post it might help, I’m a bit unsure what it should look like
