I think this is less a problem of "nefarious bad actors" and more a problem of expectations. Honestly, I agree with the quoted comment: I think they should be visible all the time, like they already are on Mbin. I think it would help change the way people think about votes so that they don't expect Reddit-style anonymous votes and instead it's a more public Facebook/Twitter-style like system.
If you really want private votes, Piefed has feature that lets you anonymize your votes, but a determined bad actor could still deanonymize you. I think it's better to change expectations than to try to massage a fundamentally public platform into having private votes, but it's good there's an option for people since it's so highly requested.
The American Dream is inherently capitalist, it being a myth doesn't change that.
The crux of the American Dream is that you have to suffer on the bottom of the totem pole, but eventually you'll get the chance to be on top and exploit the others on the bottom. The American Dream is very useful to the capitalist class because it gives people motivation to stay in the rat race, to believe that they have a stake in capitalism as a system, because one day their hard work will be rewarded and they will be a capitalist as well.
Outside of the context of capitalism, the American Dream doesn't really make sense. If realizing that it's a lie helps push people to the left, that's good and should be encouraged, but I don't think that makes the Dream itself anticapitalist.
as long as it's about a month per area
Seems pretty arbitrary. Why confine Pride events to a single month?

Lojban is very semantically rigid, but not perfectly logical IMO. Lojbanists often argue about the necessity of logical perfection. I suspect that puns might not be seen as culturally Lojbanic. Lojbanists hate Anglicisms or bits of English leaking into the way they speak Lojban. Regardless, making Lojbanic puns might be difficult but it's possible.
That's configurable since Git 2.28. You can change init.defaultBranch to main or trunk or whatever you want.
You would think...
This is interesting! I've been exploring this and it seems like a neat little license.
I'm not a lawyer, but one funny edge case I noticed is that the Extractive Industries module seems like it makes it a breach of license for crystal shops to use your software since you're involved in the sale of minerals.
I would tend to agree with FSF that it's not FOSS, though. There are so many restrictions on this license and who can use it, based on fairly arbitrary things like "if CBP claims you're doing forced labor" or "you do business in this specific region". It might be more moral, but it's a different approach than FOSS, which is less restrictive than more and prioritizes "Freedom" above everything else. Maybe it's time for a different approach, though?
Tbh Trek isn't very gay, it seems like most people are straight/gender conforming by default. There are only a few gay characters. Compare it to the Culture, where trying out new sexes and sexualities is so normalized that there's one character who's explicitly mentioned to be cishet and another character remarks it's weird that he's never explored his sexuality at all or tried changing his sex.
"Just got to this" doesn't really seem like a lie to me. If they said "just read this", that would be a lie, but "just got to this" implies they didn't have time to reply/think about it, without commenting on whether they read it. Honestly to me "just got to this" implies it's been on their to-do list but they didn't get around to it until now. If they hadn't read it at all saying "just got this" or "just read this" would make more sense.
