Voyager is extremely impressive for what it is - webapp
It’s not only a webapp anymore, but also available as native app now
No, this is the most serious lacking feature IMO.
But you could of course simply register your username at multiple instances and subscribe to the same communities. As there’s no ‘followers’ like on Mastodon, the effect is the same.
If that’s so, these instances (and who knows which other ones in the world) now host OPs and comments that I as an author decided to delete.
How does one delete information from the fediverse? If this is true, you cannot. Your data will be hosted forever, at least somewhere.
If people use their personal name for an account, this might result in a significant GDPR problem for all instances.
I think the chances are significant that Timmermans becomes prime minister (The Netherlands is a Kingdom and has no president like France).
A Dutch prime minister usually is an elected member of parliament that is a member of the political party that received the most votes. The reason is that the largest party has the first chance to form a coalition and the largest party gets to appoint the prime minister if a coalition is formed. In theory an outside person might also be appointed prime minister, but that has never happened in history.
Yes, division of the political landscape is a problem in The Netherlands as well, but the new right wing farmer’s party has more left wing social standpoints than the more conservative right wing party of current prime minister Rutte. The farmer’s party is mostly upset about environmental changes that are required due to nitrogen deposition caused for about 50% by livestock. Timmermans already had a meeting with the farmer’s party leader in his role as EC commissioner and that didn’t result in some enormous backlash of problems. So that might be a sign the farmer’s party is open for negotiation about nitrogen, as long as farmers aren’t squeezed into a tight and speedily process to reduce nitrogen emissions. Timmermans is very knowledgeable about the topic and can probably work out some scheme where both benefit somehow.
The other reason why this is the time for Timmermans to leave the EC and try to become prime minister is that the green party and Timmermans’ social democrat party have decided to run with one joint election list with candidates and (as we know as of today) Timmermans as leader.
Many people think Rutte’s party will finally not be largest after all these years, but indeed, that still doesn’t mean it’s easy to form a coalition.
Timmermans is a very important candidate in The Netherlands that is having snap elections in November after prime minister Rutte finally decided to not run for his party once more after thirteen years of neoliberal governments.
It’s an ideal moment for Timmermans to switch, because waiting until EU elections would mean he could not participate in the upcoming elections in The Netherlands.
That would likely mean the neoliberal VVD or farmer’s party BBB would become largest and might even form an (extreme) right wing coalition just like happened in in several member states.
It’s probably better for the EU that Timmermans switches now.

Yeah, I agree this unwanted behavior of Lemmy. It’s a variation on ‘security by obscurity’. It’s ‘social security’ by obscurity. Except that it isn’t obscure at all.
I didn’t know Kbin users could see the upvotes, but I’ve just discovered that kbin users only see favorites. Just like on Mastodon.
Check out the Kbin page @banaflip@kbin.social shared in another comment. You can see who upvoted your comment under ‘activity’. If you upvote my comment, my comment favorite count increases with one. And you can see you are one of the ‘upvoters’ under favorites.
If however you downvote my comment, one of the favorites appears to get removed. By you. Even if you didn’t upvote before. At least, that’s what I think happened when I tried this on another comment.
Well, that’s about it. But isn’t this strange?
At least, that’s what appears to be happening. You can check for yourself with the link provided to the Kbin instance above.
Interesting. But that’s more like the Mastodon favorite I guess. And considering the heavy Mastodon/Kbin similarities, that’s not surprising of course.
There’s also a downvote and upvote section, but those are all empty.
I’ll deliberately try to downvote your comment to see what happens.
Edit: indeed, there’s no downvote. Just one less upvote. How does this work?
Edit2: I’ve undone my downvote and now two favorites show again. But what’s weird is that my downvote simply removed the upvote of the (first?) upvoter of your comment. Is this really what Kbin does? You cannot start removing upvotes of random other users can you?
Isn’t that weird?
Kbin users can see it, admins can see it, but Lemmy users cannot.
Apparently, Kbin users can also see what Lemmy users upvote them. Is that correct?
No, what I mean is that any user can randomly start sending DMs to another user and I don’t want any DMs.
Blocking is an action when the DM was already received.
if not most mobile apps don’t even support DMs at all, so you can use those.
Thanks for the suggestion, but that’s not a suitable work around for me.
I use Voyager and consider it by far the best client, but I’m not going to switch apps because Lemmy doesn’t allow DMs to be blocked.
It’s also not just about hiding, but the sender should be aware the DM cannot be send.

You cannot block a user that already send you a message.
You also cannot delete a DM unless the administrator helps you. If you receive abusive material you’re more or less stuck with it.
I don’t want DMs, but I must accept them now.
