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.

That is the article that made this chart.

If you want another one that shows the same basic increase in prices here is another one from statista.

Yeah it is but it just irks me either way.

Edit:

I just want to clarify I am agreeing that in our current society that if you have more money you tend to be highly valued.

I am not agreeing that this is how it should be.

Vote with your money.

I really hate this phrase. It basically is saying that if you have more money then you have more "votes".

Or to put it in another way: If you have more money you matter more.

What is currently in the works to help admins locate spammers and problematic users on their instance?

Right now I believe it relies heavily on users reporting and admins looking through a users history however I think that is really inefficient.

Are there any better visualization tools that could be made to aid admins?

There are different software that could help this happen but I'm not sure how they'd handle all of lemmy's content

There is Gun.js and OrbitDB (OrbitDB runs on IPFS using Helia)

and there is FreeNet which allows hosting of freesites on their network if you have something downloaded to your computer.

Some of the problems could be mitigated by volunteers running relay nodes hosting the kind of content they want to stay up (this would work with Gun.js and OrbitDB since it allows subscribing to specific data) or just general relay nodes that gives the network more capacity (this would be the method if you are working with FreeNet)

Again not sure how easy or hard this would be so I hope the developers share their thoughts.

Edit: When I say relay nodes hosting I don't mean they have control over the data but instead keeps the data online. The data is still stored on the users own device and is shared between users if both are online at the same time.

Huh small world I guess.

Do you think there is a distinction between passive and active news consumption?

Like reading news to inform yourself on a decision vs just passively reading the news?

How does this help with changing my news consumption to being healthier?

Edit: Change of words.

Why did cutting out all news make you anxious?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Honestly, I think half the US would be more informed if they never watched the news again.

I mean what do you do as an alternative to staying informed if not reading the news.

I agree with doing hobbies to increase your skills but doing that doesn't keep you up to date does it?

But what do you do as an alternative?
