I caution mentioning both Matrix, and Element as if they are synonymous -- they are not (I'm quite certain that that wasn't your intent, but the usage of the forward slash could be interpreted as such). It may lead to confusion for newcomers. It would essentially be the same as saying "I recommend ActivityPub/Thunder" to someone who you want to introduce to Lemmy. Matrix is the protocol, and Element is simply a client that interacts with the Matrix protocol.

I personally think that it's sufficient to recommend Matrix if one is mentioning chat-app alternatives. Of course, nothing is stopping one from also recommending a client, but I don't believe that it's entirely necessary.

Tell me you can’t conscript or recruit more ground soldiers without saying so. 7.62 rounds are personnel ammunition.

Israel running out of military personnel is hardly the only possible explanation. Furthermore, it's rather nonsensical to claim that Israel is running out of military personnel simply because of the type of ammunition that this robot's machine gun is chamebered in -- that is affirming the consequent.

One can find interest in an objects technological design while still acknlowledging it's horror when put to practical use. They aren't mutually exclusive options.

Scary, but neat.

Ok, seems fine.

Out of curiosity, what's the output of # dmesg | grep iwlwifi?

If nothing else, I would recommend Firefox over Brave for the sole reason of the latter being yet another Chromium browser. It would be nice if we could eat away some of the browser marketshare from Google.

It could be as simple as updating a post with an outcome. You paste in a link and don’t realise until too late that you actually pasted in your personal email address. Do you then have to delete the whole thread and all it’s 1000 comments?

Hm, that's actually a very good counterexample. I hadn't considered that.

From what I understood of their comment on GitHub, it didn't seem to be that they fundamentally disliked the idea of the feature, but more that they didn't think that the community would find enough use from it to make its implementation worth it.

If we prioritize discussion above all else, we’ll get more discussion, but the average quality will go down

Not necessarily. One must look at the underlying reason(s) for why people aren't contributing to discussions. If it is indeed that they have nothing of quality to input, and are then incentivized to do so, then, yes, that will cause a reduction in discussion quality. But what if, instead, users capable of producing high quality content aren't contributing because they don't feel that their opinion is welcome in the discussion -- that they are afraid of being harassed, or ostracized? If these users begin to contribute more, then the quality would theoretically increase. Of course, it wouldn't necessarily be that simple in practice, but I would assume that it would have a different effect than the former example.

A lot of low quality discussion isn’t going to attract the type of users that made Reddit great

I am hesitant to agree that Reddit was consistently producing only high quality content 😜 I would argue that the more likely explanation is that there was a flat increase in volume of content being posted, and the people sorting by new had statistically more good content to choose from. Unless, of course, this is what you are referring to.

I think better moderation tools is more important than comment and post edit history

I strongly agree. Not because I personally have any use for better moderation tools, but that appears to be a major, and most likely primary complaint that many people have when they come to Lemmy from other platforms like Reddit.

Sure, but then your comment chain doesn’t make sense, or if it’s a post them you lose all the comments.

I would assume that if there was information that is being redacted, then it would happen very early on in the posts creation -- presumably before any comments are even made.

I disagree

How come? If you can censor the edit history, then you can't trust the edit history. Perhaps something that could help was if the edit that was redacted should be replaced with an entry that states something like "This edit was redacted.". In my opinion, this is inferior to having a persistent edit history, but perhaps it's a potentially functional compromise.
