  • The problem is that there is value in legal systems producing consistent results, especially when it comes to the kind of law both sides can spend millions on. Without consistency, the legal system backs up more than now as rulings are so wildly different that it makes sense to play the lottery with the courts. That causes cases to sit even longer and defense costs to raise higher for smaller participants.

    And if the system doesn’t perform well for those less advantaged, courts aren’t the best place to defend making this systematic change. At best, it acts as a relief valve to pushing actionable political change.








  • The article isn’t about Americans being upset, just noticing a trend in the market.

    The wheat market in general has had better growing and shipping conditions now than two years ago, including within China’s internal market. If China is growing more wheat internally and can get a decent deal on Russian wheat due to Russian sanctions, it makes sense that China wouldn’t need to buy as much from other markets.






  • It is likely more that admins created a system to look for problematic IP addresses and gave mods access to use the admin system by providing user account names and the ability for the admin system to work on different subs.

    And this could be useful because mods in some communities would see people try to evade bans in order to harass a community. I wouldn’t be surprised if a system like this was requested by mods even mods weren’t given access to IP addresses.

    Lemmy has an equivalent function that has been used here. It is defederation.


  • How would mods get access to that data? I don’t see why Reddit would give away such metrics to volunteers.

    What is probably happening is that Reddit is maintaining the database of problematic accounts and letting mods choose which accounts are problematic. From the list of problematic accounts, Reddit could probably pull together a list of problematic IP addresses, especially if the problem is across multiple subs.
