Na, I go full in and make clear that this someone is not alone.
I mean, on a Karma-free platform I don't have to do anything to conform to the mainstream.
Sometimes it even triggers an honest discussion.
Sometimes it even triggers an honest discussion.
In my experience, that’s what tends to happen in more traditional forums.
Voting systems are great for threads where the discussions is about problem with an objective solution, but for more subjective topics it just kills discussions.
I recommend anyone that used to be a lot on Reddit, here on Lemmy and/or other forums with karma systems to try out forums without them. Trust me you’ll notice the difference.
Niche forums with small communities tend to be best, and a lot less toxic.
We must maintain homogeneous social cohesion at any cost, I don't care how many feelings I hurt along the way
what did karma even do on reddit?
Karma could be a grind to make old-timers appear influential even when they just lurk
Some subreddits had karma requirements to let you post.
Also it was displayed prominently on your profile, triggering subconsious dick-size-comparison-like behaviour and related protective tendencies towards your karma stats.
Karma is just a means to exploit perceived peer pressure to reinforce desired behavior and change how people think. The desired behavior from the perspective of the platform isn't limited to engagement. There are more subtle forms of monetization, such as propoganda and "peer"-to-peer advertising.
ALL IM SAYING IS FOREIGNERS should cook me their native dishes so I can omnomnom new and interesting cuisines ~
I've been working my way into the fringes of many different cuisines. Finding ingredients that you can't find in most markets. I'm just sick of the US standard, garlic, onion, paprika, basil, oregino, bullion, salt, pepper that just makes up 99% of food here. Everything good is some offshoot of KFC flavors :)
Really good stuff in many cuisines is an expensive labor of love. You can find restaurants with lots of regional remote food, but it's all a sickly immitation, worked down to a price. Carribean spiced goat is like a $30-$40 plate. You make some indian cuisine right, the spices might run you $15 alone. Nigerian Food is AMAZEBALLS.
What's that trifecta that is taught as some holy scripture at culinary schools? Celery, onions, and something else. Once you recognize it, the damn taste is everywhere and really, it's NOT some god tier make everything taste good hack, you no talent piss pouring oven abusers, it's just a particular combination that can be good! Stop putting it in everything as if the dish has to have it or be bad!
Carrot, then cooked in fat. Classic Mirepoix. Its only meant as a base stock for soups and a limited number of sauces. Its not only good, its great! I don't think people are putting it everywhere.
Talking about the important stuff I see.
Foreigners should cook for you? So your pro-slavery, huh? /s
Unionized naturally.
I have nothing against immigrants, BUT I prefer cool, wet weather to hit and dry weather.
You’re thinking of hit and run weather
Ah, a native Londoner I see?
Me watching Lemmy posters mimic what's popular on reddit.
You deserve gold for this comment kind stranger

WTF are you doing standing back and letting them get roasted? Get in there!
Fine, I'll say it:
Windows > Linux
Star Wars > Star Trek
Israel seems misunderstood.
The environment had it coming.
Am I right fellas!?
Feels like trolling.
Hippity hoppity. This is now my property.
Our property.
"The environment had it coming" is spittake worthy. It's also worthy of an Onion headline
I disagree on every point, but you made me laugh so you get an upvote.
... pretty much. Natural disaster have been attacking man since the dawn of time. It's about time we struck back.
Nuke a hurricane?
Don't be afraid, add to the chaos and confuse the lemmings
What's really weird is: The person cooking and the person getting cooked have the same opinion, they just can't communicate right.

Ya gotta own it. Be that mysterious single upvote on a ratio AF'd post.
Which I frequently am, just because it was something so unhinged that it made me laugh instead of angry (like that one post I saw of someone preaching something about the Starbucks logo being the anti-christ).
If you make me laugh you get an upvote, thems the rules.
Censorship on feddit is worse than reddit, blocked them already. Too weak for freedom.
And then sometimes, just sometimes… It’s fuck it. I’m getting in the ring
Everyone gets to express their opinion. As long as you are honest and polite it's fine. If others choose to be impolite then fuck em.
What if someone is a nazi. Should we be polite ?
Being a nazi is not an opinion.
For those who may be confused:
A nazi is an ideology that is used as an identity. The ideology is made up of a group of identical opinions. Some people may share an opinion with the nazi, but if they shade no others then we really should be polite to at least find out if they're a closeted nazi.
A nazi is an ideology that is used as an identity. The ideology is made up of a group of identical opinions.
That is so generic that it applies to every single ideology ever. By this definition, someone who identifies as LGBT is a Nazi.
Based? Based on what?
Based on having the same opinion as me.
