Must be something about this paying program where they pay people for getting karma and awards.

I’m asking for the opposite, if your instance allows you to downvote stuff then can you downvote stuff that’s on instances that don’t allow them?

Can a person outside of instance with disabled downvotes downvote stuff on that instance?

Huh? I thought that it only applies to posts on your instance and not all the interactions that users of this instance can do. Am I wrong?

Storm door?

I made this post and people oppose the idea that google will actually do it

Oh, they said that they will:

We are going to roll this out slowly and carefully, with plenty of notice:

• While the policy takes effect today, it will not immediately impact users with an inactive account — the earliest we will begin deleting accounts is December 2023.
• We will take a phased approach, starting with accounts that were created and never used again.
• Before deleting an account, we will send multiple notifications over the months leading up to deletion, to both the account email address and the recovery email (if one has been provided).

I know this sounds dumb probably but 2 years is too short a time.

No no, I’m of the same opinion

I can’t wait for the future where ai can very reliably transcribe anything for the blind folks out there so they can freely browse stuff like we all do.
