When you reach the point of dehumanizing an entire population, you should stop and think about the amount of shit the media has filled your head with.
Check the post date.
I posted this 2 years ago.
Yeah I posted this 2 years ago. The way "Active" sorting works in Lemmy, is you see the posts with recent comments. Someone commented on this, pushing it back to the front page.
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.
If you're still having issues with apps, try wefwef.app. I have no complaints since I started using it.
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.
It's been a while since I used Jerboa. Will give it a try. Thanks to all contributers.
