Huh. I guess even Fascists can get a thing right once in a while.

A broken (analog) clock is right twice a day but wrong most of the time..

[-] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Depends if you count each hand individually but that might be more of a anarchist clock thing

This post is 2 Minutes old and has 7 down votes... Ruskibots

[-] catarina@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

Don't discount fat fingers entirely (:

Normal posts have at max 4 votes after 2 Minuten, so even if they all fat finger, it would be at max 4 down votes without bots ;)

-guy that sorts the all feed by new

Downvotes should be public like on Kbin, that would help with this kind of behaviour

[-] CookieJarObserver@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago

Nah thats also not the Solution anonymity is key. And bots don't care anyway, and banning people for down voting is not exactly a good behavior either.

Anonymity comes from your pseudonym. Your behaviours in public are public.

No. Point is that voting is "direct, free, equal and secret" -Art 38 GG (server is German)

[-] DarkThoughts@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Dude what? That's a law regarding the Bundestag. lmao

No, thats actually regarding any official voting.

Plebiscite, elections of ANY kind (including stuff like Works council or "Sozial wahl"), * Referendum and even such silly things as Class representatives and Student Representatives. They are all falling under this law.

Die Abgeordneten des Deutschen Bundestages werden in allgemeiner, unmittelbarer, freier, gleicher und geheimer Wahl gewählt. Sie sind Vertreter des ganzen Volkes, an Aufträge und Weisungen nicht gebunden und nur ihrem Gewissen unterworfen.

Trifft aber nicht nur für die Abgeordneten des Bundestages zu...

With anonymity comes brigading. Different instances might handle this differently

Without anonymity comes surveillance and censorship.

[-] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

For real civil identities, definitely.

For alts I can create in a whim, not so much.

And before you tell that spammers would create alts too, you can imagine some age or karma (because it exist, even if hidden) before being able to downvote.

[-] johan@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

Or just disable down votes

[-] albert180@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

That's not possible as far as I know

[-] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

That could also work

This is the best summary I could come up with:


ROME, Aug 8 (Reuters) - Italy dealt a surprise blow to its banks and sent shockwaves across the sector in Europe by setting a one-off 40% tax on profits reaped from higher interest rates, after reprimanding lenders for failing to reward deposits.

Sharply higher official interest rates have yielded record profits for banks, as the cost of loans soared while lenders held off paying more on deposits.

Since then, however, bumper first-half results from banks brought the issue back into focus and prompted the government to act on the eve of the summer political shutdown.

"One has only to look at banks' first-half profits ... to realise that we are not talking about a few millions, but ... of billions," Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini told a news conference in Rome late on Monday.

All main Italian lenders reported much stronger than expected results for the first six months and upgraded their profit outlook thanks to higher rates.

Since rates rose, they have cut current account costs but have refused to reward cash held there saying that money is for day-by-day use and not an investment.


I'm a bot and I'm open source!
