As long as there's a system, I think they're useful. You can argue they weight things incorrectly but it's useful to have some way to see how a country does against the same evaluation for rest of the world. I don't know if this is the best data, but I don't see anything that pops out as particularly odd.
At the bottom, it's not much between NK and the two below. But the two below are Myanmar and Afghanistan, which I don't think is too crazy.
I certainly never intended to silence discussion. I'd have said I was opening up the discussion, if anything, by poi ting out that there's some data available that suggests the USA is far from the most democratic nation. Which, as I read it, was a tongue in cheek statement in the comment I replied to.
But, now it is being discussed, I'm interested in the view that monarchy should have a paeticylarly large negative weight on the ranking. I'm not a royalist and think any monarchy with even a hint of power means less than absolute democracy. But I don't think many of the monarchies in those high ranking countries have as much of a negative impact as other factors that can reduce the input of a population to the democratic process. The big one for me would be how individual voting gets weighted.
Most democratic country is Norway.
USA is at position 26.

Hi. You read correctly - the research is specifically about those with an adult diagnosis or self-diagnosis as an adult. Thank you for taking a look, though.
Feels like the article is channeling Zoolander. What is this? A hospital for virtual people?
Seems like a virtual tour is a good idea, tbh.
Twisting the promise, barely making any progress on it and shafting the NHS, now, that's not so good.
Just checked and the ethics approval currently covers UK participants only, but the plan is to create a wirld-wide study once this one is complete and analysed.
From the researcher: ... more than happy to share the outcomes on the community. There is also in the questionnaire opt in to be notified about any results as well, but the plan is to do a ADHD-friendly report once it’s analysed and that will be shared.
Is it possible to change it so it's HTTPS in the link? I just copied and pasted and didn't look, since my browser automatically redirected to the HTTPS equivalent.
The EEE strategy would lead to the big corporate entity being the way most people interact. New users would go there instead of other platforms to engage. In time, a lot of the users and content would be on the corporate platform because it's the one that has the most reach, marketing, etc. so defederation would be a big hit.
As others have pointed out: sending a DM from wefwef appears to be a no-go. Is there a rallying point somehwere? A lemmy community, discord channel? I'm interested in being involved but not sure how much time I can commit so would rather throw some effort at something that's got others already coordinating rather than start something that falters everytime work gets in my way.
I'm just starting out with lemmy myself but have decades of experience with tech and work in higher education, so might be best placed working on educational aspects. My plan at the moment is to set up something small dedicated to self hosted services with a focus on containerised deployment and low maintainence effort. Documenting that journey might be useful?
I agree with you on the ending. It felt like they intentionally left a lot unresolved to encourage calls for a second season, at the expense of the story. It would have been much better if there was some resolution to a few aspects and/or a hint at the fallout of the actions in the season.
Good subtle world building, too.
