So, I was in the military (American) and we literally had two ways to report sexual assault and rape. The first is a restricted report. It allows the victim to get medical attention and counseling, but prevents any kind of legal proceedings, investigation, and importantly doesn’t inform the chain of command. A restricted report can be changed to an unrestricted report, however the second option cannot become restricted after it is unrestricted.

The second way is an unrestricted report and the main points are you get all the medical attention and counseling if you want it, but those who need to know in order to make decisions about where you’ll be stationed, and how to punish the person responsible in the event that the investigation proves their guilt will ultimately know and this may lead to informal retribution which is obviously not ideal.

There are a lot of reasons a person might choose either report. To me it isn’t about whether or not there was risk. That’s just victim blaming plain and simple. It’s about whether or not the person responsible should suffer the consequences of their actions and how the administration in charge handles that process.

That being said there have been many many problems with people coming forward about abuses like this and having their trauma and the events that lead to it brushed off or swept under the rug and quite frankly multiple people have died because of it.

Most victims don’t go public. Especially not right away. This type of trauma takes time to process. And it comes with shame and a lot of other emotions that cause self blame. Asserting otherwise is just a fallacy.

Does this include past posts or just new posts being mirrored from reddit to Lemmy?

Ah. Then it’s basically not as useful as the use case I was expecting. Sorry about that. I misunderstood.

So, correct me if I’m wrong. But does that mean there has to be a Lemmy community that is synchronous to the subreddit in order to be mirrored?

Right. But what I am saying is that even if I turned the setting off and was seeing the bots how would I only see the bits and pieces I wanted from reddit and not the whole of the reddit website mirrored?

Love the idea for subreddits I can’t find a Lemmy sub for. But I don’t want all the rest. I specifically went out of my way to block seeing bots on Lemmy. I don’t think there is a way to opt in to seeing just one and even if there was I don’t see how I would transition that into only seeing bots for the subs on reddit I’d still want to engage with. I don’t understand how you’re planning to manage this?

Worth is kind of not a one size fits all thing. It’s subjective. But I dunno. That depends on how big or small it gets. I don’t think bigger is necessarily worse. I don’t think Reddit is all bad either.

Perhaps you’re involved in the wrong communities? Generally smaller more niche communities have higher engagement and effort posts.

Ignore the people who don’t give the quality you want. Some of us work ridiculous hours and are trying to decompress from everything going on around us. Some of us don’t have the energy for the kind of quality you want. You’re basically suggesting that they don’t contribute at all, and that leads to isolation. They may want to engage with people. They may not have people around them to engage with. Excluding them over “low effort” comments that you can ignore is kind of meh.

Do you want engagement or not?
