First, let's define being conscious as at least having a mind that is aware and has a will.

Maybe there's and argument if the being wishes to be used, but the argument I'm going to make is not about that.

The following is said without judgement because it's something I've done for most of my life before noticing and taking action.

If we recognize that a being (organic, silicon based or whatever) with a conscience should not be exploited and used against its will, there is no reason we should not apply the same principle to the animals we exploit and kill daily when we pay for their products. They should have a right to at least not be exploited.

Please take that into consideration and know that you can take action to stop this injustice. Check out the sub for more info and feel free to ask anything in the comments or DM me.

Not only admins can see the votes, but anyone on Fediverse (except regular Lemmy users) can see them.

Security through obscurity is prone to failure when it is used by itself. If people want their votes to actually be private then another method of securing their privacy should be created.

I completely agree with the idea of more accountability. We are real people in acting public right here, we should be constantly aware that our actions have consequences. If you don't want your pseudonym associated with a vote, don't do it. It's kinda like the opposite of 4chan, where instand of anonymous controversial content on top, here we have human-curated content being pushed up.

What it the instance signs the activity? Then it propagates to others instances after local validation. That way only local admins would have access to voting data. Malicious instances could still be defederated/blocked/have votes disregarded.

Currently, almost anyone in the Fediverse can see Lemmys votes. Lemmy admins can see votes, as well as mods. Only regular Lemmy users can't. Should the Lemmy devs create a way to make the votes anonymous?

There is a discussion going on right now considering "making the Lemmy votes public" but I think that premisse is just wrong. The votes are public already, they're just hidden from Lemmy users. Anyone from a kbin/mbin/fedia instance can check out the votes if they are so inclined.

The users right now may fall into a false sense of privacy when voting because the votes are hidden from Lemmy users. If you want to vote something and not show up on the vote list, please create another account to support that type of content and don't tell anyone.

All federated data (thus public) should be easily available to the end user. Otherwise we create a false sense of security.

Vote brigading matters. If you're subscribed to a 'controversial' community and every post gets downvoted to oblivion, you and other subscribers who sort by 'hot/top' won't see the post unless they go directly to the community.

This slowly kills the community, even if its users are active on Lemmy.

I've been vegan for about 12 years (13 in January) after reading some discussions on Reddit about the theme, they hit me really hard after a beloved dog companion passed away.

I make pb&j daily, since it's so easy and yummy. I often eat beans and rice, fried rice, the most varied curries and farofa!

If vegan food is supposed to be expensive or bland, I'm definitely doing something wrong

What can we do to prevent this? There aren't that many of us, and posts being hidden can really hinder our discussions.

Looks really similar to Araucaria angustifolia's fruit

I had success with iodine, it's slow but it worked.

Fun fact: acrobatics are made with lower hydration dough.

If you want dough with crispy outside and soft inside you're looking for a 65-70% hydration. Acrobatics with this will rip it apart. To open a higher hydration dough you use this technique: https://youtu.be/xzbW8CZx538

They pushed this change with the always online dev kit. I believe the price change is a smoke screen for the other changes. Soon they might step back on this decision.

I feel that people are on Lemmy because of their convictions and are more willing to boycott something they condone.

We can just keep posting motivating stuff and it will reach c/all. Showing the truth about the way we exploit animals will convince the ones who truly care about them.

Recently I saw another topic here with lots of comments from c/all and it was a shitshow, with lots of vegans calling people narcissists and generally putting people in a defensive position. That is something we should really avoid.

We should make compelling arguments so people can read them and change their minds about what they're supporting. Try to be thoughtful even if the other person is not. Lots of people will end up reading your comment anyway.

If you find someone who really don't care about animals, the best option is just not engage. Making a negative comment is awful and off-putting.

Libp2p or similar stack could be used to provide the phone instance an address, caching could be distributed among peers. Of course, as long as other servers also support libp2p.

What would be the up/downsides?

It doesn't seem the ToS supports your claim. Can you provide a link?

Seems they may ask to use the meeting data if you record or livestream, but not otherwise. So not equally bad.

If you don't want CloudFlare, it's also possible to spin your own tunnel over DNS with iodine.
