It’s more of a cliche, I don’t think anyone actually does it, but it shows up in those cropped images of tweets people post on reddit. Downvotes should show right next to the upvotes (at least, on desktop). Is a nice feature to show both, so if it’s like, negative 1, you can see, Oh it’s actually negative 10 and positive 9, that is like 50% dislike ratio. Feels a lot better knowing its a split crowd.
edit: A word
DELETE THIS POST 😂 Hey this isn’t twitter, but you can try 👏 adding 👏 claps 👏 between 👏 words 👏 if you think it will help.
Is a valid point to say they haven’t done anything honorable. Maybe my post is the equivalent of saying a murderer is honorable for telling the cops where he put the bodies? I like to give credit where credit is due, but I can see your point. Anyways, I feel bad that you have been downvoted to zero, I’ll give you an upvote.
Interesting point, that they are actually censoring dissent, it’s just that they are focusing on what can actually harm them and they have deemed fuck spez to be a good vent. So in effect it looks like they are giving free range to words/text protests, but really that is the only they leave up.
fair point
I don’t want to defend spez, buuuuut, it was /r/the_donald, and it was kinda funny. It was not like a covert operation to change the dialog, it was obvious what happened when it happened, it was a troll move. Still inappropriate no doubt, but like, not the same as a disinformation campaign.
It’s poor branding, at least if someone knows Lemmy and they see a Lemmy link, they will go to it. Lemm.ee doesn’t intuitively look like a Lemmy instance to an outsider.
Was the most upvoted comment on “how to get started with Lemmy”. Also, some of these other places have super strange names, I get that it doesn’t matter but then you know nothing it gives bad vibes.
The main post would be shared but then in the comment section you can swipe left or right to scroll through the different instances (comment section). Most comment sections don’t have such unique requirements anyways, usually on Reddit I just assume “don’t be an asshole” and on the few occasions where that is not sufficient, I get deleted and the mod notifies me of the error, then I learn. Generally people won’t familiarize themselves with the community rules before posting.
