The dems have already rehabilitated GWB, McCain, and Cheney. It's a trueism that the democrats of today are the republicans of 20 years ago.

This was a meme like 6 years ago, that we'd get to the point that US democrats would accept a candidate that's 99% pro-genocide compared to the 100% republican one. It's worked, and now democrats are falling over themselves to defend this genocide and their party's staunch material support for it.

Keep voting tho, its working great so far. The USA keeps improving by doing the same thing over and over again. /s

The single issue? Genocide.

Keep doing what the Dems are telling you to do, its working out great.

Not in list view, as that's a compact view that doesn't have an action bar like the others.

Just a few months ago it was impossible to criticize this old segregationist rapist. The two US political parties are worse than cults.

Obama dropped an average of 60 bombs every day on the middle east and north africa during his presidency.

The US isn't a democracy, and it's elections are nothing but theatre. I recommend asking about this on lemmygrad or hexbear also.

This already exists.

Year-end best of lists. Allmusic, pitchfork, and whatever other sites come out with best of year rankings.

I can't stress how much the western supremacists are off the rails on this one: agreeing with the standard sanctions policy commonly used by the US, of punishing entire civilian populations based on the actions of their government, regardless of how you feel about that government and its actions.

Code is code, the nationality of the person shouldn't be used to exclude them. ppl know how most of us here feel about Israel but I would never even think of excluding an Israeli contributor to any of the projects I work on.

However you want to use it.

I would never. The idea that any person should be disbarred from contributing to FOSS due to the actions of their government, is incredibly exclusionary. Linus is acting as much like a toddler as daddy USA is.

We're adding the ability to customize this in the upcoming release, but I'm wondering what people think would be a good default.

The 4 pieces of showable/hideable info are: Upvotes, Downvotes, Score, and Upvote %.

In Jerboa, I had a temporary default (until the next lemmy release), of Score + Upvote %, but people seem to dislike this a lot.

I'll check back on this in a week to see the result.

Here is our regular update that explains what we have been working on for the past two weeks. This should allow average users to keep up with development, without reading Github comments or knowing how to program.

@sunaurus fixed our rate-limiter and is working on federation of local site bans.

@SleeplessOne1917 added banned_from_community to post and comment views. Added a matrix account link to the create private message form. User emails are now shown for registration applications, to stop spam emails. Worked on notifying users when they're banned from a community.

@matc-pub reworked and cleaned up lemmy-ui's query parsing.

@rodrigo-fm added a loading skeleton for posts / comments to lemmy-ui.

@phiresky and @dullbananas have been doing a lot of work reviewing PRs, and finishing up current ones.

@nutomic worked on generating post thumbnail/metadata in background, deleting old avatar/banner/icon's when uploading a new one. On registration, automatically set content languages from accept-language headers. Migrated apub block activity to standard endTime property and deprecate expires. Added delete user field removeData to apub assets. Fixed handling of apub downvotes.

@dessalines has worked on fixing some issues with Woodpecker, our CI, deleting a person's local images on account deletion., adding a listMedia endpoint for users and admins to view local image uploads. Also added a creator_banned_from_community to vote views, and fixed an issue with comment replies being wrongly marked as read.. Also made jerboa use a new preference library.

Support development

@dessalines and @nutomic are working full-time on Lemmy to integrate community contributions, fix bugs, optimize performance and much more. This work is funded exclusively through donations.

If you like using Lemmy, and want to make sure that we will always be available to work full time building it, consider donating to support its development. Recurring donations are ideal because they allow for long-term planning. But also one-time donations of any amount help us.

We failed to publish the update last Friday as scheduled, so this update contains more changes than usual. We also added @dullbananas as maintainer for the Lemmy backend repo.

@matc-pub reduced the amount of data that needs to be fetched by the browser for rendering lemmy-ui, by loading only translations which are actually used.

@flamingo-cant-draw added a URL Blocklist, to prevent link spamming.

@SleeplessOne exposed Lemmy errors in the Rust API. In lemmy-ui he added a badge for number of local subscribers to a community and added a UI to see and edit community visibility. In the leptos UI, he made the UI use the lemmy-client crate for API requests.

@Nutomic fixed synchronization of featured posts. He added a 'delete content' checkbox for account deletion which was missing from previous releases. He also fixed various bugs related to password reset, signed fetch from Mastodon, search listing type, password reset and 2FA. He updated the federation library with security improvements. Added dont require leading ! or @ for webfinger resolve. Fixed video thumbnail generation.. Added including an apub hashtag with a post.

@Dessalines added a new API endpoint for users to hide posts. He made various moderation improvements, such as removing content from local communities when a remote user is banned or purged, viewing mod action history and report history for specific posts and comments. Additionally he added an alt_text field for posts, and a new user setting for vote display mode. Also added extra fields to PostReport and CommentReport views. Has also, along with @MV-GH, been making many improvements to Jerboa.

In personal news, @nutomic's daugher will be born next month. Afterwards he will take a break from Lemmy to take care of her for some months.
