Public vote counts should help a lot towards catching manipulation on the fediverse. Any action that can affect visibility (upvotes and comments) can be pulled by researchers through federation to study/catch inorganic behavior.

I’d love to see some type of Adblock like crowd sourced block lists. If the growth of other platforms is any indication there will probably be a day where it would be nice to block out a large amounts of accounts. I’d even pay for it.

I’ve found it’s almost irrelevant what the hats have of them. What these people desire is the attention it draws.

For obvious reasons most of these people would be completely unnoticed by society suddenly become the center of attention when wearing this stuff.

In this case is more about what you would get out of Biden, Harris, Vance or Trump.

As long as she’s willing to strongly push for a ceasefire as American you got other things to worry about. And for the record I do agree it’s a genocide.

As a Canadian I feel like people who support our right wing politicians are very generous with the accuracy of what they say and their American counterparts are even more so.

Yet somehow the Progressive side is held to this unusual standard where they’re constantly painted as the villain if they’re off by the slightest bit.

I didn’t down vote you but to share the sentiment of why you’re getting down voted. While you make one of the best apps on the platform your pricing and availability is one of the worst.

Your time would be better spent improving those aspects your business. If you just want to be a niche high priced app that caters to people obscure feature requests and have erratic development cycles you should at least be transparent about it.

Not sure if this changes anything for you but with the constraint on space for mobile plus the possible future inclusion of the up/down vote counts per post it would probably mean the user vote counter will have to be a general visualization like a user name color gradient to reduce the clutter.

Since we’re on the topic and you’re the admin/mod the Communities I post the most on I kinda curious how you guys keep track of people you’ve banned. I was skimming through my list of people I tagged and you guys banned like half of them. I’d imagine you be very favorable to it since it could make moderating a lot easier.

Xxxxx(redacted as per community rule) was $4.92 CAD to remove ads while Sync is $27.99. For the record I think Sync is the better app but like maybe 4-5 dollars better not nearly 600% better.

The Boost dev also didn’t abandon their app\platform for months during its infancy where it certainly needed the attention then comes back and drop more ads in the app.

This is my last month of Sync Ultra sub. It’s only a few bucks a month and Sync is relatively polished but I rather the money go towards a actively developed app.

This is the official answer :

> In an email, the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) said 2023 data from the Canadian Housing Statistics Program is not yet available to determine the ban’s full effect.

Personally speaking I don’t think it’s suppose impact prices much. In fact they were so concerned about it they started adding in exemptions almost right afterwards.

In itself there is a lot of Canadian wealth tied to housing so unless there’s some magical situation where affordability happens in a vacuum people will fight hard to against any policy that hits their wallets. My proof for this is that in 2021 when we had a election 80% of people decided that having the two parties that brought us through decades of housing costs going up was who they wanted to run the country.

Honestly some are actually good tags for specific people that are very knowledgeable in certain topics. Although the vast majority are pretty bad, I actually checked my Sync list that’s only a few months old and half of them are already banned.

I think Social media sites that have almost zero accountability like Instagram, Youtube and Tiktok where you can’t even see users past comments have comments sections that’s substantially worse quality.

Here’s the exact example from RES. I don’t think any of the Reddit client that existed actually full had this entire set of function either.

I wonder if the extra heavy dose RDT changes the yields for the modern high-end baskets.

Lance Hendricks had a video recently where he found certain high end baskets was the equivalent of using a paper filter and a cheaper basket.

They’re okay since everything is from Ikea it’s 1/20 the cost of the Webber ones. Workflow wise it’s just nice to not have to deal with a extra step every morning.

It’s only for a week at a time so it doesn’t make much difference freshness wise. I keep most of the bean in the James Hoffman recommended Tightpac America Coffeevac container or the freezer. I will say with my bean preferences I find most of the subtle flavors are gone around 30 days after roasting.

It’s a compost thing I used as a knock box. Actually stopped using it and just used a bowl.

They’re just measured to my usual 20g dose. It nice to not have to weigh my beans before I’m properly caffeinated.

True but I would believe the general level of enthusiasm for a conversation about RDT would be substantially higher in a modern espresso group vs filter coffee folk.

Also my previous comment is bit of a inner monologue as someone who posted very randomly detailed things on r/espresso back in the day and rather uncertain if/where I would post that stuff on Lemmy.

As a espresso person I’m here mostly because the most popular espresso community on Lemmy is pretty dead.

I do really feel like we’d probably be better served if we posted espresso content in a espresso specific community.

It’s poor value but for many years it was the only modern single dose style conical grinder especially one with very solid workflow so people gritted there teeth and paid for it.

I have a significant disdain for anything from Fellow after a few bad experiences.

As a Canadian the DF83 with the SSP burrs is actually pretty close the Niche zero price wise due to how their distribution works. Essentially you pay UK tax and Canadian duties at least the last time I checked last year.

From what I’ve seen OKC is giving up the worst out of the three 1st(LAC, HOU or OKC) they hold in 2026 in exchange for rights to pick swap LAC 1st in 2027
