  • There are no settings to filter community languages. Communities do not have set languages. Rather, communities have a set of allowed languages that posts may use. Your settings filter posts of a certain language, not communities. This particular post does not specify a language. Specifying a language for every single post is bothersome and most posts (even the english ones) do not bother specifying the language. It would be great if Lemmy had a way to set a default language for a community but that feature does not exist yet.

    I suggest you simply block Feddit.dk as a whole instance, as that will effectively block all the communities here while still allowing you to see posts and comments from Feddit.dk users elsewhere.


  • Du må virkelig køre i super chiller tempo :)

    Jeg synes ikke jeg cykler langsomt 😅. Mener jeg overhaler flere folk end der overhaler mig. Men kan en tur fra Hillerød og Fredensborg sammenlignes med det indre København? Andre cyklister, trafik og rødt lys er der jo ikke meget af i en skov. Jeg når tit ikke rigtig op i fart før der er rødt igen eller jeg skal dreje.


  • I mean… you can already kinda do that right? Raise your children to have similar values to you and they’ll vote like you when they grow up. That happens constantly. There’s just an 18 year latency to it. Obviously you lose the vote once they grow up to vote by themselves. I feel like you’re making a bit of a strawman out of what I’m saying here. We clearly just disagree and that’s okay.


  • The idea is that the parent represents the child. We don’t trust children to make an informed vote, but we trust parents to make all kinds of choices for their children, including extremely personal choices. The current alternative is to not give children a vote at all. I think letting parents choose the vote for their child is better, and fits pretty well with all the rest that parents currently choose for their child. I also think it’s better than simply letting children of all ages vote, since again, they probably won’t be able to make an informed vote.


  • In that regard, they already have representation by their parents’ votes.

    But that vote only counts as much as one person, so it doesn’t give any more representation to the child if you ask me. My whole point is that a parent should have outsized voting power because they represent two persons, not one (okay actually each parent would get 1.5 votes as the child’s vote would be split on each parent but my point is the same).
