When a bug tracker is inside the exclusive walled-gardens of MS Github or Gitlab.com, and you cannot or will not enter, where do you file your bug report? Here, of course. This is a refuge where you can report bugs that are otherwise unreportable due to technical or ethical constraints.

⚠of course there are no guarantees it will be seen by anyone relevant. Hopefully some kind souls will volunteer to proxy the reports.

Lemmy: Blunt instruments suck. Downvote feature should be switchable at a per-community granularity, not just server-wide (slrpnk.net)

Some admins disable downvotes for their whole server (e.g. beehaw). It’s useful indeed considering the software is otherwise incapable of thwarting silent downvotes. But it’s too blunt as just a server-wide option.

For some communities downvotes are appropriate and some are not. The infosec.pub admin may want downvotes to be broadly possible, but it makes little sense for a community like !isdown@infosec.pub. And particularly off or obnoxious for a so-called “safe space” like !humanrights@lemmy.sdf.org.
