Yeah, I see why you dont like downvotes
Yeah, I see why you dont like downvotes
Do you? Because your comment about formatting implies you dont.
If all I like about a car is its color and the seat upholstery I dont go and copy its engine.
Lemmy is a federated reddit clone dude, its not just the front page format
The reddit design is that popularity is the end all determinant of quality content. If you didnt want that, you shouldnt be using a reddit clone.
Thats why there are subreddits, that you can make whenever you like. So you can make a little pocket for the people who agree with your content.
Obviously things get downvoted because people disagree with it, that is how it was designed to work. That is the function of this type of social media. The quality is inherently tied to if it is something the community agrees with.
This complaint makes genuinely no sense. People upvote things they agree with, and downvote what they dont. Acting like thats some big shock is insane. Acting like thats some evil hidden use of downvotes means you dont understand the website youre posting on.
It inhibits your instance from filtering content at all, and prevents your instance-native content from self filtering before reaching larger feeds.
It also demolishes your ability to natively deal with problem comments without mod or admin intervention, which adds more work to moderation while also making power mods more powerful.
Lemmy is aping the reddit design, which has downvotes built into how the design inherently filters content. Removing the user driven content filter without redesigning the way the site works usually just makes problems. Like if mastodon removed retweets, or something.
The analogy isnt perfect, but its like a go cart without breaks. Normally, anyone can tap the gas or break pedal once each, to speed up or slow down a post or comment. A shitty go cart (both shit as in poor quality and shit as in bad/bigoted/counter community) gets its break slammed by multiple people, and stops in its tracks. Great stuff gets the gas slammed and flies forward.
But without the break, users cant slow anything down, just hope no one else speeds it up or that it gets pulled from the track. This makes brigades easier, absent mods more noticable, and bad faith mods harder to push back against from the community.
These issues only really metasticize if a larger percent of instances block downvotes. But it will hamper content coming out of bahaj if the instance population starts to really grow.
Good way to get bad content, honestly, bit of a shame to see that from blahaj
Articles are just blog posts from blogs with multiple bloggers
Lol I only buy jack phones, and if you think they suck you need to shop in places that arent back alleyways
For most of these, turning off touch controls means that when you accidentally trigger the touch commands, it plays a little jingle and pushes a notification telling you that youve disabled touch controls and you need to reenable them.
Completely defeating the fucking point of turning off touch controls, and making me want to wrap my hands around the throat of the idiot who designed that
Then buy phones with headphone jacks. Mine has one, I dont buy ones without it.
If it matters for you to have it, dont buy phones that cut it. If models with it keep selling, theyre less likely to ditch it.
Because Im not a beta tester, and understand that the fastest way to make a bug is to patch a different one.
I dont think this question should be in no stupid questions, but I am curious about a paired sub about answers.
Real creepy you expect people to always report a location.
“It has less X than the US has shootings” means almost nothing as a statement. Thats not a metric for if its a problem or not
Corporate servers with corp funding and corp advertising using existing instagram and facebook support to onboard more users and generate content to the point where they drown out non-thread content to a point where, theoretically, non-thread servers become silent for content and more read-only.
Then, they pull the plug, and the fledgeling communities we had here have withered and have to restart all over again.
Who knows if thats the actual goal, but thats the idea.
Reddit absolutely has clone subs that die and chew up names
If you cant tell the difference between passive aggression and politeness, you gotta talk to someone about learning. Big big big difference there.
Being directly a cunt actually causes sabotaging employees who work the minimum letter of the contract until they can quit via a text 5 minutes after start of day because they got another job lined up.
Dumb managers poison the well by acting like this.
Does it feel weird to be considered a loser by the people on 8kun
Hey I got you a load of sources, why are you still commenting elsewhere in the post but ignoring the articles you asked for?
Remember? You said you didnt believe that israel forced doctors to abandon babies and then let them die and rot.
You asked for proof. Why are you ignoring the articles you asked me to get you?
