  • Ah. Well, I still see the web interface pulling in new posts as I sit on the home page. But then, I also mentioned that my Lemmy instance (or, the instance I’ve joined, that is) is a couple of versions behind. (I’m not sure if they’re behind on both Lemmy and the UI or on just one.) If they’ve changed that behavior in newer versions, that could be why I’m still seeing the web interface pull in new posts while you don’t.

    And if that behavior is removed in the newer versions, then I can probably expect all the issues I’ve mentioned in this thread to be resolved as soon as latte.isnot.coffee updates to more recent versions of either Lemmy or Lemmy-UI or both.










  • Is the aim to make this happen for all elections in which Missourians vote, or just for elections of state and local offices or what?

    Also, are there other states that have done this? It looks like Fargo and St. Louis do approval voting (or at least a variation of it) but if this happened it would make Missouri the first state to do this, yes? (Though, it looks like Maine and Alaska use some form of ranked choice voting.)

    This all looks great whatever the case. It would be awesome to see this happen.

    Just my own $0.02, but…

    If people are hoarding and stockpiling, at least part of the response needs to be to look at the motivation these people have to stockpile and address that motivation. A hoarding problem is probably a valuable signal of some deep societal issue of distribution that needs resolved.

    The vast majority of scarcity we face in this capitalist-controlled world is manufactured, so I wouldn’t think actual scarcity would often be an issue, but if hypothetically it was and someone was stockpiling more than they could use of some basic need like food allowing others to starve, I’d say the starving taking the surplus (the portion the stockpiler can’t use) by force would be justice.
