Thanks, the third option is what I had in mind but I had completely missed the automated banning feature, reviewing manually each time probably wouldn’t scale well.

I actually think the current systems are actually adequate. We have a moderators who can be replaced at any time by admins, which gives oversight, and we have the ability to simply move communities to other instances if that fails.

If that were true, !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com wouldn’t be so popular.

I think we can most agree that while “best” may be relative Disourse is definitely better than StackOverflow in regards to moderation system.

I’m trying to think of a better design. In the jury system, content could be hidden as soon as it is reported, and the reporter penalized if the jury decides the report was unjustified. For new users with a low trust level, the jury system could be skipped, allowing any user with a higher trust level to moderate instead. The higher the trust level of the reported user, the larger the jury required and the higher the percentage of votes needed to pass. Criticizing that system without offering any better alternative isn’t useful.

I don’t get it, could you expand on that? The idea I’m getting is something like “flairs” on Reddit that people vote on. Right now I’m thinking since all posts will probably be tagged thanks to booru-style collaborative curation, people could vote on the tags that are subjective to see which tags apply best to the post. Then we could sort based on some of the tags like the ones you mentioned.

I think it might help to have different vote types. Instead of up and downvotes there could be things like agree/disagree, insightful, funny, quality shitpost, high/low effort post or things like that. That way people who want to see quality discussion could sort by insightful, while people looking for low effort shitposts or memes could sort by something else.

Slashdot moderation system, I like it, I’ll see how it fits.

Good thinking. The tenure wasn’t gained when idle and was lost at 5% per week after a month of inactivity, but I like using the same trust system I had designed for the platform for each community as well.

Wouldn’t the chinese or whoever doesn’t chose to do that gain market share?

If you are going to use a modal editor like vim you should probably learn touch typing with the US layout.

You are the second person who mentions it but I don’t know what you mean. Got any links for compose key?

Honestly, I believe that, except for Russians or anyone whose language isn’t derived from Latin, using a US keyboard for programming is best, because you won’t be missing many keys. Maybe the French will miss the ç, but you can learn the Unicode just like I did with the em dash and quotation marks:

• Em Dash (—): U+2014
• En Dash (–): U+2013

Quotation marks:

• Left double quote (“): U+201C
• Right double quote (”): U+201D
• Left single quote (‘): U+2018
• Right single quote (’): U+2019

Or use systems timers

systemd timers? Isn’t that dependent on whether or not there is systemd? I thought there were Linux distros that don’t use it.

• OpenSource.com – Use systemd timers instead of cronjobs
• SUSE Documentation – Working with systemd Timers
• Anteru’s Blog – Replacing cron with systemd-timers
• ArchWiki – systemd/Timers

Mine too but I don’t want to spend the time adapting it for every thing I use so I’m willing to compromise.

This is the kind of thing I’m looking for, not ufos disappearing people.

I may have my mind made up, but I could change it if people said something more easily verified, like the kind of police brutality that happens in US, instead of people disappearing like the chinese has ufos contracted, that just sounds like conspiracy theories made up by the americans.

And of course you send me the article from a paper that’s the mouthpiece of some US billionaire. Would you take it seriously if a Chinese paper said the US ‘secret police’ is disappearing people? They are going to paint the worse possible picture since they are rivals.

Democracy broadly refers to a system of government where ultimate power rests with the people. I don’t believe it’s solely about voting; rather, it’s about whether people perceive that they are being represented by the government.

All states are authoritarian according to this answer.

But I’m asking about real examples not made up ones. And if you are referring to secret services all countries have those.
