The company is at fault. I don’t think there’s laws currently in place that say a vehicle has to be manned on the street, just that it uses the correct signals and responds correctly to traffic, but I may be wrong. It may also be local laws.
I also get my news about this from Karl
Thanks to your awareness, its now the most popular listed.
Doesn’t sound like it’s hidden anymore
I don’t think it’s possible currently, but maybe a feature we can suggest for the future.
As for why your post got downvoted, it seems that Lemmy is majority Atheist, based on the amount of posts I see on “All / Hot”. Your community may be targeted by a small group if this is a recurring event.
I don’t have a good solution for you in the meantime. I know that communities can be blocked by instances, so you may be able to get in contact with lemmy.ml, beehaw, lem.ee, etc. instance owners and ask them to block your community from their feeds, or something like that.
Would it benefit the communities, or the public? Why should they be hidden?
As someone who is in their own niche communities (not on Lemmy) I suggest communities could have 3 modes: Standard, NSFW, and NSFL. If a community is marked NSFW or nsfl, it can never go back to Standard. If a community is marked NSFL, it can never be NSFW or Standard, or maybe if it does, all content from it is deleted.
Users could then set their preferences to standard, NSFW, or NSFL. If they choose NSFL, they see everything.
Upvotes and downvotes, but also add the YouTube lightsaber which shows the ratio?
