HackerNews has an interesting approach: You can’t downvote comments unless you reach a certain amount of “Karma”, and you can’t downvote posts at all, you can “flag” them, meaning you think they don’t belong here. Flagging doesn’t affect the vote count, but massive flagging does make the post appear lower in the feed, and alerts mods.
This, alongside the tight moderation and zero-tolerance towards flame wars in the comments makes HackerNews one of the best places on the internet imho.
Same. For me, upvote = adding something to the conversation. That’s why I upvote most comments I come across, and rarely downvote people.
Though if Twitter goes under, I’m sure Facebook will have a hard time explaining why they aren’t a monopoly. That has been taken seriously before.
I mean sure posts about Reddit makes us seem like the bitter ex, but they are to be expected, since it’s the only thing all Lemmy users have in common: Being ex-Redditors. It will stop naturally with time.
I was waiting for Lemmy is Fun, but honestly, wefwef.app is just amazing, I don’t really care anymore.
RiF still works, but without logging in. NSFW used to work up until yesterday. A couple of third-party apps still have complete access as well.
Just five? I’m pretty sure the NSA had access to all their messages since at least 2001.
I agree, but that is very subjective, don’t you think? I’m interested for example in the post that said Trump is suing Twitter. I won’t waste time reading the article most probably, but the news is amusing nonetheless. So what decides whether something is interesting enough to the whole globe or not?
Imho, as long as the title isn’t clickbaity, its okay. We shouldn’t reach a stage where “Trump should be impeached” is an acceptable headline, like /r/politics
Wow, you need to chill.
This isn’t kink shaming. No one has a “kink” to cum in a sock.
It’s been a while since I used Jerboa. Will give it a try. Thanks to all contributers.
