Public vote counts should help a lot towards catching manipulation on the fediverse. Any action that can affect visibility (upvotes and comments) can be pulled by researchers through federation to study/catch inorganic behavior.

I'd love to see some type of Adblock like crowd sourced block lists. If the growth of other platforms is any indication there will probably be a day where it would be nice to block out a large amounts of accounts. I'd even pay for it.

In this case is more about what you would get out of Biden, Harris, Vance or Trump.

As long as she's willing to strongly push for a ceasefire as American you got other things to worry about. And for the record I do agree it's a genocide.

As a Canadian I feel like people who support our right wing politicians are very generous with the accuracy of what they say and their American counterparts are even more so.

Yet somehow the Progressive side is held to this unusual standard where they're constantly painted as the villain if they're off by the slightest bit.

I didn't down vote you but to share the sentiment of why you're getting down voted. While you make one of the best apps on the platform your pricing and availability is one of the worst.

Your time would be better spent improving those aspects your business. If you just want to be a niche high priced app that caters to people obscure feature requests and have erratic development cycles you should at least be transparent about it.

Xxxxx(redacted as per community rule) was $4.92 CAD to remove ads while Sync is $27.99. For the record I think Sync is the better app but like maybe 4-5 dollars better not nearly 600% better.

The Boost dev also didn't abandon their app\platform for months during its infancy where it certainly needed the attention then comes back and drop more ads in the app.

This is my last month of Sync Ultra sub. It's only a few bucks a month and Sync is relatively polished but I rather the money go towards a actively developed app.

This is the official answer :

> In an email, the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) said 2023 data from the Canadian Housing Statistics Program is not yet available to determine the ban's full effect.

 

Personally speaking I don't think it's suppose impact prices much. In fact they were so concerned about it they started adding in exemptions almost right afterwards.

In itself there is a lot of Canadian wealth tied to housing so unless there's some magical situation where affordability happens in a vacuum people will fight hard to against any policy that hits their wallets. My proof for this is that in 2021 when we had a election 80% of people decided that having the two parties that brought us through decades of housing costs going up was who they wanted to run the country.

Here's the exact example from RES. I don't think any of the Reddit client that existed actually full had this entire set of function either.

What I'm looking for specifically is adding tags to users, highlighting their names and a vote counter next to their names.

Sync has user tagging and highlighting if you pay monthly for Ultra.

Connect and Boost has user tagging.

Lemmy isn't to bad right now, but I'm definitely seeing a trend of people I'd like to avoid and or at least be weary of.

I prefer not using the block function since it remove to much context sometimes.

User tagging similar to Reddit Enhancement Suite. Specifically keeping a count of up/down votes of other users and displaying next to their comments. Also when tagging users it saves a link to the comment causing you to tag them.

The current user tagging feature is the largest reason I subscribe to sync Ultra. It's really one of the only things that helped out with the spam aside from keeping to smaller communities.
