I don’t understand your point. The problem is not the constitution blocking the change, the problem is that to change the constitution you generally need a much larger majority that is often not achieved when a freedom is not yet widely accepted by the population. So this would block some socially progressive laws too.

Some social progress such as death penalty abolition or gay marriage often pass with short majorities, and constitutional changes usually require exceptionally large majorities.

There is information available to make an informed choice, but they don’t. Is there really no guilt?

I’m always thinking about Chinese intellegency agency thinking 10 years ago: “How can we create a spyware that everyone will use so we can collect all the data we want without too much troubles?”. Then they looked at Facebook doing the same for profit and they understood that all they have to do is to create a well designed social media app and make it so trendy that people will be diverted enough to not think about the spying issue. And then they fucking nailed it, it worked so well, I’m impressed. The average people do happily through away their private life for a shot of well crafted trendy entertainment everyday. All the revelations about spying didn’t stop the growth one bit.

1.7/9.6 = 0.18
0.05/2.1 = 0.02

2% of active users vs 18% for Mastodon though. I’m impressed by Mastodon’s percentage, how comes?

In France, just using the word race to talk about humans is considered racist.

Edit: for people who don’t believe that, he’s an article about that and its consequences when George Floyd-like events happen in France. https://www.france24.com/en/europe/20230705-france-colorblind-nahel-immigration-talk-about-race-laicite-secularism

I thought you asked why wouldn’t both be felt by users. Otherwise, sure both can be displayed, the proportion gives an idea of the dynamic of a community.

Because when you open and later refresh Lemmy, the quantity of new posts you will see, which gives an idea of Lemmy’s activity, is proportional to the absolute number of active users, not the proportion of active users per instance.

What is felt by users is the absolute number rather than the proportion.

In particular massive bot-related deletions.

Yep, due to the uncertainty on the durability of instances, I have created my main user on a small instance to help the distribution but also backups on bigger ones.

If your instance is not big, then communities from other instances may not be indexed yet, as it is triggered by local users’ research and subscriptions, and it seems to not work well if the target instance is overloaded. (as far as I understand for now) I’ve been trying to search for tiny communities that exist on lemmy.world, and after 24h, the research still doesn’t find them. It’s quite frustrating, and I think it hinders the development of new instances, which is problematic.

Edit: you have to search the exact URL of the community, I was only using the name, with the URL it works after a few tries.

I think pioneers are more likely to post than late followers.
