I fully disagree, in your scenario people wouldn’t realize how fucktastically bad your idea is

Look at what removing downvotes did to youtube, you seriously want that here?

What has that have to do with not wanting to watch a russian info asset?

OH you thought it was because I didn’t want to see people getting shot?

Son, I was one of the early distributors of 1 man 1 jar

Strawman from ‘we shouldn’t segment away politics’ to 'we must inject politics positively everywhere.

Intellectual dishonesty at its finest.

What a great reason to block feddit.dk

So don’t? I don’t.

Did you not see the part where I actually commented myself?

I’m sorry the world is so scary you have to segment parts of it away from your daily life, I don’t have that weakness

Nearly everything has a political facet because politics is at the core of how humanity can even live in this modern way.

Not talking about politics at the dinner table is how we got here and I will not sit by idly while people like you perpetuate that disservice

Hey maybe you can create one of those super fundamental dependency libraries that XKCD talked about

People were right to be angry about removing voting visibility.

The surest sign a community is toxic is voting patterns and removing our access to that removes our ability to combat the continuing enshittification of lemmy.

And there are many, many mods that need to be complained about.

Though you are right that no-nuance upvote/downvote is a really shitty metric

I disagree, if political discourse can’t survive public debate, then it isn’t a very good political ideology.

We have been artificially hampered on other platforms by having to be nice to the nazis, we don’t have to do that here and I fully welcome such debate because none of their abhorrent ideologies hold up under scrutiny

As for left leaning political debate, we have ALWAYS argued with each other. That is one of our greatest strengths that we just don’t all into line with everything the top says. Also one of our greatest weaknesses.

But to stifle that artificially will just force it to bleed into other discussions.

I say up with political discourse and let the marketplace of ideas be conceptually free of bias and the results will be that humanity in general considers nazis pretty bad people

I disagree, yes being kind is very important but even more important is people engaging and upvoting comments.

Reddit was great because of what happened in the comment section, not the headliners, and I see very little voting engagement even in active posts.

Remember, it’s free to do and it encourages others to engage as well. But yea be kind too

Just another thing the Brits get wrong. want to lecture me on color vs colour now?

This is why I will never use my coding skills for profit, my head…

No.

Couldn’t even make the effort to figure out how many rows and columns a bingo card has…
