MODERATORS
So far, I've encountered far more negativity on Lemmy than I did on reddit. Ymmv, but I feel like our smaller user base has concentrated the negativity.
There’s a delicious degree of irony that you’ve been downvoted for giving an opinion
Yeah fuck him
Lol
But he went against the Lemmy circle jerk groupthink!
Sacrifices must be made to the fediverse or we'll all be cursed for our disobedience.
The energy has been thrown off here because of his transgressions.
Quickly - someone say something about Arch Linux or about how capitalism sucks!!
I know it's fun to poke the troglodytes, but they do bite and you might catch the stupid. Wear gloves.
Psshh - everyone knows gloves are a leburoal hoax.
Some of us just use Ubuntu and want to give high fives to kind folks. Therapy helps ❤️🙌
Ugh, Ubuntu? I need to take a shower after reading your comment.
If you aren't installing your own window manager from an overly drawn out install process, does it even still count as Linux?
You might as well just be running Windows 11 at that point.
I'm guessing you forgot a /s? 😁
Ah, now it’s really feeling like Reddit.
Having bounced back to reddit a couple of times, I haven’t had that experience. Talking here seems to lead to more thoughtful responses. Also some small minority on reddit love the unexplained downvotes of disapproval for perfectly well intentioned, polite posts, and there’s less of that on Lemmy.
Evil
Go for it.
It's all beans anyway
Yes.
It took way to long, upvoting every comments to finally get to some beans
No way bro! Can't get me, I have a canned goods identification dog!
As an example, I started c/52weeksofbaking (copied over from reddit). Its a place for amateur bakers to challenge themselves, try new things, and share their successes and failures. There's zero reason to downvote posts there. I stickied a request for people to not downvote in that community. It's currently sitting at 20 upvotes and 18 downvotes.
We can make fun of people for caring about fake internet points, but if we want to get more people to use lemmy and create content, we need to create communities that feel welcoming.
Kind of like people insulting OP in this thread, if you specifically ask people to not downvote something, they will downvote it. I don't think it's a serious sign of ill will.
I like how kbin works in this regard - while downvotes are available, kbin doesn't federate downvotes from other instances. So sometimes I'll have a post that looks like it has a mild positive score and someone will say "not sure why you're getting downvote" and I'm "huh?" Blissfully unaware. I think that while up/down voting can play an important role in moderation, voting and karma it didn't quite work out the way reddit intended originally. Downs are so often used as a way to lash out at someone, and very highly rated posts are often just some silly joke vs. something truly constructive. It's annoying and makes me roll me eyes to have one of those conversations where the other person downvotes each reply as soon as you post it.
I always find it funny. When I respond to someone and point out the flaws in their argument and they don't respond but I get their one immediate downvote, I consider it a victory. They can't respond with any kind of logical argument but also they're upset about their inability to defend their point. It's like two victories in one.
It was real flowery here for a couple weeks during the celebratory fuck Spez exodus when everyones third party reddit browsers died. But yeah, now it's a cesspool of negativity.
Be generous with blocks, both people and communities. It makes a lot of difference.
Agree, I use connect and it's great for blocking whole instances too.
It may depend on your politics or maybe just where you hang out. I know that Beehaw gets a lot of shit for their pre-emptive defederation but it may be the nicest general online community I’ve encountered in a long time.
