  • Interestingly enough, there doesn’t seem to be correlation between having death penalty in law and lower crime rate. Many countries without death penalty or with death penalty only “on paper” have lower (serious) crime rates than those with death penalty in their jurisdical system. It could also be said that death penalty leads to heavier crimes since once criminal realizes that he crossed that line, it no longer matter how heavier crime gets but hope of getting out over the death bodies becomes the variant too.












  • It’s big corpo stuff. Once company grows over certain size left hand stops loosing sight of the right hand.
    In other words one team gets task to make sure ads aren’t skipped ever, they don’t get rewarded for saying its dump idea but for implementation .
    Later comes other team that gets task to fifure out why the hell electricity bill went up.
    Then after that they figure out best way to save money is to reduce employee count.
    Then after the adblocking sensation gets old, some one else responsible for perfomance comes with idea that rendering ads is inefficient and they will go back to popup ads.

    It often doesn’t make sense and costumer service gets worse as companies grow so i wouldn’t be surpriced by something like this at all.


  • I moved to Lemmy over from reddit not because of content or better UI but because people behind reddit seems like jerks to me and i came to realization I’d rather use open source.
    What i lack here is information e.g. programming communities in Lemmy are, well, dead. If left on Lemmy things that are “recommended” to me it’s sensational “news” that are aimed to spark woke vs others battle in discussion.

    So what to make better ?

    • to build what reddit has, I’d call it a content library and i don’t care if it’s done by bots or humans. For me the facts + discussion to ask question is super important.
    • if searching for a topic outside of Lemmy> Lemmy doesn’t show up in search engine but reddit does. Some optimization needs to be done to get better score at search engines.
    • let users to block instances and thus make de-federation to user’s decision.
    • i think there needs to some kind of cross instance community, i don’t think having same kind of community in multiple instances with different content is good solution.
