that depends on what you think is honest. maybe the ppl think repeating this discussion again is boring and they dislike it. don’t take it personally. you are not your content.

btw mastodon and bluesky don’t have downvotes. i think ppl who are here instead on those, decided this way is better. i for one left mastodon in favor of lemmy.

“only upvotes” don’t help as much, because you get a gap where ppl don’t like it. you can only use ppl who like it to sort, which may be much less than ppl who dislike it.

also, once downvoted from many ppl, fewer ppl see the content and it gets less downvotes.

actually downvotes give less “power to aasholes”, because otherwise ppl can post their evil shit like on xitter and they and the algorithm assume silence=agreement, even though agreeing takes only one tap while disagreeing requires writing a comment. this emboldens the “assholes”. they get little to no feedback ppl don’t like it. on top of it, there are ways/algos to sort by number of comments. so if ppl actually dislike it so much to write a comment, it pushes the bad post up on these rankings, shoving the horrible stuff in even more ppls faces.

don’t forget that downvotes mostly help with sorting. they don’t mean “this is wrong”. they mean the reader didn’t like it and it should be sorted further down or even start collapsed. it can just be a highly unpopular or disgusting truth ppl want to swipe under the rug. it can also be totally irrelevant or link/quote sites ppl don’t like and want to reduce traffic to or be forgotten (reddit, xitter, fb come to mind)

it’s just a quick feedback that can help the community.

neither face scan, ID nor age restricted servers can fix that.

the bad guys can even make a server specifically for kids to get them on there while most adults, who could have noticed coincidentally, would then use an adult server and can’t notice any more.

that’s true, but ppl sometimes have reasons to focus on one stock, for example, if they need the voting rights to influence the company, if they have insider info, or take a managing position at the company to show they’re comitted to it.

only part. could be just outdated.

the traffic cone bit worked in hong kong, for example: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-08-06/hong-kong-protesters-use-traffic-cones-against-tear-gas/11387296

umbrellas also helped to deflect stuff btw.

it’s from the perpetrators. to get more likes for their gangsta lifestyle

Maybe, but it’s a problem either way. Mongolia now has a border with just two countries: China and russia. Their merchants can use whichever has lower tariffs or better security etc. So there’s a small bit of leverage, which gives a bit of freedom. Now, if China gets the part of russia that connects Mongolia with russia as part of a peace deal that splits russia among the allied forces like Germany after WW2, Mongolia will share a border with only China and they can put tariffs etc as high as they want. If China closed their airspace they couldn’t even export/import by air. It would be very worrisome and an immense pressure.

long bois

depends on if you mean going outwards or inwards 🤓

Do they have their own stocks or is this part of GB0002634946 ?

Michael Bay explosions were realistic all along 🤯

Only problem is, China can then maybe completely engulf Mongolia, which would give ppl there a really hard time.

I already sold most of my US stocks as well, but I’m trying to sell them at a good price, which is becoming increasingly difficult 😬

the “n” at the end is regular German plural btw. don’t fall for this farce

it’s literally in the German dictionary. the firebrigades have Einsatzgruppen here too, for example.

some probably nazi professor getting a German boner when he doesn’t translate the title of units properly, doesn’t change reality.

// edit

Example: https://www.feuerwehr.hamburg/die-spezialeinsatzgruppen-871244

This reminds me of that Simple Sabotage Field Manual the CIA declassified. It containes things like:

Haggle over precise wordings of communications, minutes, resolutions.

… to interfere with organizations and production.

But it certainly can’t hurt to add more info, like calling them “masked government thugs”, for example, if you’d like.

ysk that Einsatzgruppe is just the German word for “task force”. What you’re referring to only makes sense when you specify you mean one of the SS.

maybe don’t trust ppl based on looks.

ps: i have a goatee+mustache, if you must know.
