I guess if you're standing on the deck of a naval vessel, it doesn't matter much what you're wearing

Why is it a problem that she's not just hostile towards the right? Is leftism an obligation in your eyes?

Nobody says we must maintain some "pure" system. For an already existing example, passing a constitutional amendment is far, far more difficult than regular legislation. Is that undemocratic? By the most "pure" definition, yes. It's far from just letting everything be decided by 50+1 popular vote. Or hell, even the fact that we have representatives we elect instead of using direct democracy for everything.

Limiting democracy doesn't mean just installing a dictator or something. It can be as simple as placing some issues beyond the reach of majoritatian whims. I never see any of the people crying about democracy upset that their free speech isn't under question of majoritatian will.

I agree there's no perfect universal advice, but that doesn't mean advice shouldn't be given, just that it should be more tailored.

 

I don't have any experience with the lemmy api so if this isn't possible just ignore me, but could we get a way to view the modlog in app? Because of the way lemmy handles moderation, with no mod mail and no an messages, viewing the modlog can be pretty useful to see if another instance has you banned and you're just leaving comments in the void.
