    Yes we are saying the same thing, mass adoption that was for this moment in time at that price point.

    Lower the price point and it will be more common, essentially when it's no different than the price of a laptop.

    I don't see mass adoption at this price point. What's the point?

    I really don't see the productivity sell. I do see it as functional entertainment to get more use out of an 800 square foot apartment in NYC. If my partner and I disagree on something entertainment wise I can throw them on. That's about it..

    Depends on the subreddit and how the mods reacted.

    For mainstream users nothing changed. There’s two subreddits I stay active on. But I’m trying to make a point to make keep creating content on activity protocol.

    Link to photos taken by photographer who did a massive undertaking by Daniel Laine to capture African Monarchs. Inspired sharing from a recent cross post from the monarch of the Kuba Kingdom, that came from @OldSchoolCool "From 1988 to 1991, French photographer Daniel Laine photographed 70 African monarchs, “whose dynasties marked the history of Africa until the middle of the twentieth century.” With hundreds of monarchs to choose from, Laine focused on those who continued to “retain a traditional and spiritual authority that is difficult for the Western mind to comprehend.” Laine recalls the difficulties of getting permission for the photographs, the sensitive diplomatic negotiations involved in many cases. A war in Sudan prevented Laine from photographing the king of Shiluk, a descendant of black dynasties that ruled Egypt. Others, including the king of Swaziland, declined to be photographed. With each striking photograph, Laine provides a brief biography and historical notes about the tribe and its rituals. "

    Thanks so much for sharing!!

    He was so young when he acquired the throne, 20 years old!

    The photographer, Daniel Lane did a series of photos of african kings. https://twistedsifter.com/2012/07/kings-of-africa-portraits-by-daniel-laine/

    For those interested some of the highlights of the enduring political system of the Kuba Kingdom:

    State Centralization: The Kuba Kingdom was able to establish a more centralized and organized state than many other independent villages or chieftaincies in the region.

    **Complex Institutions:**The kingdom had a range of political and social institutions, including an unwritten constitution, separation of political powers, a judicial system with courts and juries, a police force, a military, and a system of taxation.

    Cultural Impact: The very fact that the Kuba Kingdom's institutions have had long-term effects on cultural norms, as indicated by the text, speaks to the power and influence that this kingdom had. This can be seen as positive in the sense that the Kingdom left a lasting legacy. https://www.jstor.org/stable/44955153

  • whereisdani_r whereisdani_r 1y ago 14%

    I needed an objective answer to “down brigading”. I have enough common sense to know the community topic is inherently contrarian, and predisposed to downvotes if it was sorting by all and new. The scenario of people disagreeing and downvoting, was also my natural conclusion. I’ve been working on other development/ server projects to contribute to the fediverse that are technical and it’s a learning curve.

    This question was minor, but I had a panic button moment of “ what on earth did I miss now!? Did I miss something on the documentation for the moderation log!?”

    Every interaction I’ve had on Lemmy has been extremely positive. But I’d be an idiot to not automatically think it’s the content of the community, duh.

    It was fine you took the community topic into context, but you didn’t need to be rude, the cursing I don’t think helps in the support part in the name of the community we are talking in right now. For what it’s worth, being rude and adding unsolicited commentary is outdated.

    Thank you for the actual helpful part of “there is nothing to worry about on the backend, carry on.”

    Edit: I was too “apologetic girl “ in my first reply, New Year’s resolution to not always add “lol” and unnecessary “sorrys”

  • Any tips on how to handle down brigades on a community? I’ve never moderated before and I noticed and a member noticed it as well. If it’s just people who don’t like the post is there a log to see that? If it’s a bot how is that handled?

    Are we being brigaded? Downvotes look disproportionate.
  • whereisdani_r whereisdani_r 1y ago 50%

    Yes we are absolutely being downvoted disproportionately.

    So far I’ve removed comments, it’s available in the mod log. The rules in the sidebar are I believe are clear unless you have any suggestions to add.

    Thank you so much for bringing it up, it helps from someone other than myself :)

    But I’ve never moderated a subreddit myself, if it’s bots or people. If the former I can check, if the latter I don’t know any other recourse other than can others please contribute to the community so that the group goes on it own, rather than just bait for those who, just don’t like it.

    Edit: asked the support community for lemmy and they mostly agree it’s just the content.

    Monarchism is a system of governance that has been a part of human civilization for thousands of years, from ancient egypt, persia, medieval europe A system of government. Some people discuss marxism, communism, socialism, republicanism or anarchism (all of the isms!) It's not all about the Windsors (aka, Saxe-Coburg and Gotha). There are those that find genuine merit in exploring the benefits of monarchism, usually constitutional. Although discussing the merits of each system is a thing to. Some just like to discuss the history of leaders and systems spanning civilizations. Merits of Constitutional Monarchies: - Stability - Cultural identity - like come on. There's an Emperor of Japan. *Emperor* will all of the constant chaos in this world Japan has a sun god symbol, even if it's just ceremonious, that links back their history to like the Tales of Gengi - Non-partisan figurehead - Checks on power (notice how well the checks and balances are going over here in the US...not well...our supreme court overlords have more power) If that's not within your interests, that's great, just keep scrolling, no need to continue to down vote a community that isn't your cup of tea. I never really wanted to moderate, but that community is cool and should they ever need the space, or others want to find that information, I'll keep it here.

  • Hi everyone - there is an issue on my end where I am not seeing posts so please excuse if this seems redudant.. A community for those who support monarchism, existing monarchies, restoration of monarchies, or share pics of present and past history! This is not a place for debate against monarchism or those who wish to abolish the monarchy. All discussions related to monarchism should be in good faith. Those comments will be removed. Hey! Quick hello, inspired by the subreddit, creating a space here. Topic examples… All existing monarchies globally (Japan, Thailand, Spain, Jordan, UK, ETC) Thoughts on restoration of monarchies(Austria, Iran, Russia, etc) What ideal system of monarchism is effective (absolute, semi-constitutional, etc) Share historical figures, talk about them For those who don’t support monarchies, be kind! Be kind to one another. 🙂
