Pit of despair, hype cycle, etc

I’m tired of this wo-orld

I thought peertube attempts to be a complete replacement

Element isn’t replacing shit. I hate Matrix

I think we disagree on 1. I think we need them for signaling what is acceptable and what is unacceptable, but you do not think this is necessary 2. We disagree on this, with me thinking that it is used enough to be useful and you thinking it is not. 3. We disagree on this as well: I don’t think it’s sustainable or healthy for mods to shoulder this burden alone in a reddit-style format. Exceptions being perhaps ask-historians who have a very hardworking (volunteer) team and a very niche focus.

Now to make the strongest counter argument against myself: I’ve been to some popular subreddits where some awful things are upvoted a lot, and contrary takes are downvoted. But even this is not too bad because it just signals to me that I don’t want to be part of that community, and find somewhere that’s more in alignment with how I want voting to be used.

To make the argument for downvoting, on other subreddits I’ve seen comments with -10, and when I open them I see they were trolling/abuse or something, and it confirms my confidence in that community that the overwhelming majority of people do not want to allow that comment, vs just one mod minimizing it, or removing it completely.

Let me know what your think

I’m not sure how you draw that conclusion. It’s not either or, you have downvoting and mods working together

I disagree with “that is how it will be used” because that is not the only way people use it. Self-moderation is more of a pro than agree/disagree is a con.

Good to hear!

I’m going to jump in and say that the real question isn’t “is the disagree button bad” the real question is, “is the disagree button worse than not having it”?

I don’t use downvote to disagree. I know some people do. But on Lemmy I’ve seen so many times awful comments with positive up notes bc no one is downvoting and hiding them

Gen z bullies themselves to only use iPhone, or so I’ve heard. Comply or be left out of every group chat

It’s good

But you are telling us about kia, so maybe it did work

At the end of the article, the courts side with KT?? Because how dare the isp customers use the bandwidth they bought?

Fuck this I read it first thing in the morning

I think they are being sarcastic without putting /s

Hoping they answer. I try to use OSMAnd for navigation but it doesn’t know where things are
