I don’t think this is a good idea. I would prefer the votes of new accounts having a lower impact.
I joined Lemmy back in 2020 and have been using it as qaz@lemmy.ml until somewhere in 2023 when I switched to lemmy.world. I’m interested in systemd/Linux, FOSS, and Selfhosting.

Could you please explain what mean with that? Why would the CEO of Pfizer have paid for that?
EDIT 2025-03-26: Bloomcole was referring to the following: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pfizergate. It refers to when von der Leyen directly negotiated a big contract with the CEO of Pfizer with very little transparency and later refused to share any information about it.
Nobody embodies the EU’s elite-driven nature better than its incumbent president, Ursula von der Leyen. And no action of hers embodies its warped excesses better than her decision, in April 2021, to single-handedly sign off on a €35-billion deal for the purchase of 1.8 billion doses of the BioNTech/Pfizer vaccine. According to one analysis, the price per dose she agreed was 15 times higher than the cost of production — meaning that the EU overpaid the vaccines by tens of billions of euros. Adding fuel to the fire, the New York Times later reported that von der Leyen had personally negotiated the deal via a series of text messages and calls with Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla.

The alternative frontends like photon and tesseract have really improved and imo should be the new defaults.
qaz@lemmy.worldto Fediverse@lemmy.world•What is stopping corporations from hijacking the Fediverse by hosting massive servers?English9·1 month agoMicrosoft have been endorsing Linux recently for this reason.
I doubt that’s still the reason, I think they endorse it because they’re making a shit ton of money using it on Azure.
Even if the instance doesn’t have any rules about it?
It’s a spammer AFAIK, I considered the possibility of it being used to get IP’s and deanonimize users through the image but it seems this isn’t the case since the image points to a generic pictrs file from a Lemmy instance and most clients / frontends proxy image loading.

qaz@lemmy.worldto Fediverse@lemmy.world•John Oliver promoted alternatives to big tech in last night's episode, including Mastodon and PixelfedEnglish47·2 months agoLemmy has also taken over advertiser focused moderation patterns. A great example is NSFW. What is NSFW exactly? Not safe for work? Why is only that relevant?
NSFW is just used to mark advertiser unfriendly content. Why else group nakedness, violence, sexual content, and death in the same category?
It’s way too vague to be useful, you have no idea if you’re going to see a nipple or a murder.Content warnings like on Mastodon are better, but don’t provide a way to reliably filter out categories. I personally think it would be way better to have specific nested tags for certain types of material.
