What do you mean by doesn't last long? Also if the society was a complete meritocracy what accountability would the people have?

Ok, I just wanted to make sure if that is what you were saying.

This is a copy of a reply to @[email protected] :

Just to make it clear the definition that I used does not talk about choosing people for tasks they are suited for, but rather putting them in positions of power, success, and influence.

I don't think all the people voting this down are anarchists so I don't know if you can make a conclusion about how prevalent it is. For example just read the comments of the video you linked.

Edit: highlighted all so that people don't come at me for saying that people voting this down aren't anarchist.

It’s still a shitty status quo, but it is what it is.

I don't like the status quo and I think it should change.

I mean there is a red light district skyscraper being built in Amsterdam right?

I'd love to see that happen.

I don’t see how you could prematurely know about spammers or trolls until someone reports them.

I don't think you can. My suggestion was more focused on how admins make decisions after a report. Right now they have to do a manual scan of the person's comment history and that is the part I find inefficient. If it was possible to just show extra high level information on the user it might make it easier for the admin to make a decision.

We don’t plan on adding any text-analyzing AI or anything like that into lemmy’s codebase.

Yeah using AI to try and analyze comments would be overkill and probably prone to manipulation anyways.

Edit: I'm sorta talking more specifically towards banning a user or seeing if what a user is doing is a repeated pattern.

Yeah that's fair. It was just more of a possible what if.

Hopefully you're able to get more people that can help develop the features that are in the backlog.

Anyways thx for answering. I was half expecting it to be skipped.

Well I am not 100% sure on what the best method would be.

I think the addition of letting moderators see who is voting on what posts is a nice addition since they would tend to be closer to where the content is.

More generally I was thinking about creating a dashboard that gave the admins statistics about that user.

Similar to how we as users can see how many comments and posts any user makes, it might be useful to allow admins to see statistics about which communities the user interacts with or some rudimentary similarity score with other users?

These are some ideas I thought of on the fly and have not thought about the implications but the gist is something that allows the admins to get a better understanding of what is going on from like a bird eye's view.

Edit: and where -> on what posts

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised.

Like even if this thing with states acting up doesn't work out the people they are speaking too are definitely gonna still be riled up.

It seems obvious to me that they are probably planning something for the upcoming election since they would try and make sure that another "election steal" wouldn't happen again.

The only way that I see this not turning into a civil war is for government to somehow change the conversation drastically so that people aren't asking these questions.

Because if people begin asking these questions then people planning to do stuff are gonna be even more anxious and try and do the thing earlier.

I'm not sure how they would change the conversation though because all the republican population is going to just ignore them and still think we are heading towards a civil war making it just more likely to happen.
