Why do people fear downvotes so much? Let people add their votes to whatever is in their feeds.
If you don’t like the downvotes, you can use a sorting algorithm that ignores them. Otherwise, they are a general indicator of how people feel about content on Lemmy, and that’s not entirely useless data
It’s questionable as it is that being banned from a community means you can’t vote on the content at an instance level.
“Person. Man. Woman. Camera. TV.?”
How does everyone still remember all five of these? I heard most people can’t do that
There’s a lot of people mixing up info like this. The “pee tape” refers to something from the original Steele dossier that claimed he had Russian prostitutes pee on a bed that Obama had previously slept in.
Not that the details matter all that much, because it may or may not be true, and I don’t think it would change anything either way.
Write your congressmen about it; it’s the least you can do.
Even if it won’t fix things, it tells them what you think
It does seem a little condescending in this context. I have known one or two people who don’t “bro” in normal conversation, but once it’s an argument they say it in every retort. It can feel slightly toxic when used this way.
Not as toxic as stalking downvoters though
I choose not to differentiate the two. I think we are all part of the same group
It’s home instances that we are tribal about more than software interface.
I believe it’s because it was traditionally “wagons ho!” which was probably seen in films.
And I think non-union tradesmen were often thought of as doing things their own way. Maybe even the slightly wrong way.
I think the term “homemaker” applies
I don’t want to watch someone else play a game. I want to play the game myself.
Which is what I do, when I have time
My cat was an “old man cat” for a while before he passed.
Anyhow, a “man cat” just sounds like a cat who dresses up like a man and fights crime
No, instead scaled sort makes the feed dominated by single users posting the same thing to 5 similar communities. Or a community’s single moderator posting 5 or 12 things at once to a community with no users
I find it far less helpful when browsing all.
Netanyahu has already said he is nominating Trump, so we have that to look forward to
When did you last check? I thought Lemmy.world was Netherlands-based
It used to be worse. We would have three different instances with bots reposting hackernews. One guy hosted an instance entirely for bot posting from different news feeds.
And so many different projects trying (poorly) to mirror reddit content in obnoxious ways.
On the other hand, the bots reposting old comic strips get plenty of discussion and don’t annoy me as much, so not all bots, I guess.
