SHOTS FIRED, SHOTS FIRED!!

(also entirely true)

Someone else did it for me now I have no guilt

Let it be known, I could not ruin this for you.

I have downvoting disabled anyway but it sucks that others are influenced by it.

I think there are a lot of people on Lemmy trying to turn public spaces into their private space, or shape communities into what they want instead of fostering a new one from the ground up.

It’s dead simple to start an instance or even a community on an instance that aligns with how people feel. Somehow instead we’ve defaulted to projecting negativity, which inhibits growth. Lemmy can be better.

How motivating do you think it is to post to smaller communities just to get an unrepresentative number of downvoters right off the bat? I can’t speak for OP but I’m sure there are plenty that don’t post or reply at all because of it.

I think at its core downvoting can be fine but on smaller platforms it’s easily abused as a form of content suppression, bullying, etc. Lemmy seems to be particularly prone to account hopping downvote spam, which sucks but it is what it is.

Thankfully Lemmy is flexible enough to create what you want more privately if one is so inclined. I’m smoking weed about it.

Lemmitors can’t resist downvoting.

If only there was a bot for that.

Thanks for the community link!

You do much video streaming on matrix? That’s what they were using discord for.

Better hope that golden ticket comes with a golden parachute.

First time?

No problem. I look forward to seeing what others might have found that I haven’t. The plant communities on Lemmy are some of the best parts imo.
