Not going to downvote you, partly because I only downvote spam and partly because kbin doesn't federate downvotes so I can't even see downvotes from you and vice versa.
But I fundamentally disagree. One of the lessons of Nuremberg was that obeying orders isn't a good enough reason to commit war crimes.
One of the corollaries to that, for me, is that obeying rules isn't a good enough reason to be complicit in covering up war crimes either.
If a secret is a crime it's more treasonous to keep it a secret, because the people of our nations haven't voted to leave the Geneva Conventions and go out and commit war crimes.
The randomized experiment you did is so cool! I love experiments like this -- like the Allais Paradox -- that reveal biases and irrationalities.
But in this case, as a game theorist, I aver that the switchers are correct. This is a classic application of Schelling points. If we all have the altruistic utility function "minimize death" then there are two Nash equilibria: (1) Everyone take the pill, and (2) no one take the pill. If the question is framed such that everyone taking the pill (like when it's just pressing one of two buttons) is focal, that's the equilibrium you expect and the one you rationally adopt yourself. When it's framed the other way, you expect the other equilibrium and rationally don't take the pill.
PS: I just realized that this is also the exact problem you called out in encouraging us to get set up on kbin for comments. The two equilibria are "no one else is going to set up an account so I won't bother to either" and "that's the new Schelling point for Dynomight comments so of course I want to be there too!"
PPS: Taking you up on your self-promotion encouragement, I predict that Dynomight readers will like the Beeminder blog, maybe especially the posts tagged "rationality". (Also I'm excited to see some of you at Less Online!)

Kbin is an example. But just due to the nature of the protocol, it has to be stored somewhere but Lemmy also just lets admins view all the individual votes directly in the UI.
Kbin users seeing who downvotes their posts is potentially an issue, but I don’t want to discourage downvoting bad or harmful content for just that reason. The end goal is that bad content gets removed and offending users acted on. So if a Kbin user is abusing the system to harrass or abuse, they should likewise reported and banned.
Ooh thanks for the step by step. I was able to identify the one kbin user who downvoted me over the past 24 hours. 😜
Yeah, given this I won’t recommend that kbin users downvote just anything since the platform doesn’t protect their privacy. Lemmy users should be good tho. Thanks! 😊
@Badluck Esto era literalmente una prueba para la federación con #Kbin. No buscaba ningun tipo de reacción.
Para fotografía y vídeos hemos solido usar más #Pixelfed desde @Detuned pero el tiempo dirá si eso sigue así, porque hemos tenido algunos problemas subiendo contenido ahí y por ejemplo terminamos subiendo estas capturas tan bonitas de Deathloop aquí: https://mastodon.social/@tuneintodetuned/109841037039062148
Maybe not such a shitpost but the mere existence of things like Lemmy and kBin is comforting, especially after living through the enshittification of Reddit.
I'm looking at getting kbin installed locally so I can make some UI / UX changes, but it's a different tech stack than I'm used to. Anyone here gotten it to run locally and can offer any advice on the difficulty involved?...
Hello kbin! Since there’s a lot of new users migrating to this platform, I decided to make a short guide to creating and moderating a magazine. This will be a quick and short guide since there will be a lot of new features coming soon. I might make a new guide when a few major tools come, but in the meantime, I will...
@Gamers_Mate Oh, 100% Everything around Kbin aside, Ernest had a ton of stuff going on in his personal life that should totally take precedent over this here.
I did see the post about applications for instance-wide moderators, which Kbin definitely needs. But I don't believe any action has been taken past the announcement yet.
But that's really interesting. I just checked and I got a notification for your last comment over on my Mbin account as well. I don't know if maybe it has something to do with the fact that my Mbin account is subscribed to this magazine as well and got looped in as well or what? I may have to look into it and see if either it's just a bug or if I'm doing something wrong lol.
