I was surprised I didn't see the other comments brining up the ol pressure aspects.

I always argue age (on the higher end) isn't necessarily the end all be all, there are some extremely sharp older folks out there who have good valuable insights, desires, etc and therefore shouldn't have an age cap per-say.

What we should have is mental ability checks because it happens way too often that someone is clearly in cognitive decline yet they're still allowed to hold their seat.

It's an extremely simplistic to just say old = bad.

There's a lot of idiot young people too

Not so much defending heavy taxation on the working class specifically, instead focusing solely on why the wealthy and mega corps have to have a low tax rate

Would be neat to have a site take in a Url for a post/comment and display a list of top instances or something stating whether it's visible there or not.

Holy shit, how did I not know this before.

Yup, when I was 18-23 I was the primary driver of our car, but we put the insurance and name under my gf (now wife) and it was half the cost if I had gotten the insurance instead.

Because being in the in crowd is more of a status symbol at that level then for things like cars.

And it'll be so revolutionary... Somehow

It gets slippery depending on who is in power, which is exactly what we have to defend against.

Right, "if they can access the old games still, we can't pay a understaffed 3rd party a pittance to slap a coat of paint on it and resell it at full price"

You can use teams in a browser, that's really all it is on dekstop anyway.

Emojis and Lemmy (sh.itjust.works)

Does anyone else think having emojis as a response to a comment/thread would be a neat addition instead of only upvote/downvote?

Reddit seemed to sorta do that with awards but thats not quite what I'm suggesting.

Something similar to GitHub for instance, except we keep the upvote downvote system as-is.

This would hopefully discourage the use of upvote/downvote as a "I like/dislike this" button while also adding the ability to more accurately express the emotion the post/comment illicited

Additionally, there are a lot of people who are mostly just lurkers and have no desire to post, but they want to be able to emote further then just a upvote/downvote but DON'T want to actually post a comment like "I love this" or "You're so right" or even just commenting an emoji, because making a comment is a whole extra action that makes them visible, opens up to comments or upvotes/downvotes.
