well the lightings still off, but it is absolutely getting there

yes, I personally want to agree, freedom and smarts and such.

I'll try to explain it to myself, as I've come to understand it, after watching the discourse in apropriate places, and you may listen:

I've been a lot on the internet again and I must say that all humans are stupid, depending on different contexts. And sometimes you're not dealing with friendly people talking about trains and locomotives, but things with more of a personal touch, like watching porn, being trans, being religious, having a scientific view.... and then suddenly you don't have to only deal with some spam-bots that post everywhere, but horrible-asshat-people coming out of the woodwork and wanting to shit in your safe-space.

Imagine 20% of a population suddenly having to deal with a new thing, because the internet has shown it's existance to them for the first time (like getting a huge reaction and getting to the front page of r**dit,, or just in the all-tab on Lemmy).

The natural reaction would be fear, disgust, or even just asking some stupid questions. (which individually is fine, but having it happen ten times a day, under every post, is just too much (similar discussion with software-support and the RTFM-mantra.)) And thats just reasonable people, unreasonable people have macedonian bot-farms to spam your comments with helpful "I don't like you"s or invite their online-only-friends over from discord to "own the libs" or something.

speaking of ideas: what about being able to allow downvotes in the comment section?

if the twentieth idiot is asking the same stupid question in a community of lets say 100 active people, having the ability to downvote each instance of it, except the very first one, and then focussing ones argumentative powers there, for many to see is much more productive. since all the downvoted repeat-comments would at some point get hidden and not get a "false positive reaction" fron all the other "idiots"

Additionaly the downvoting of bad comments is a) not something someone would do from the Feed and
b) not something incredibly tiring to good posters

many sites have this problem seem to have this problem, like Youtube. They go around disabling negative feedback and then have trouble with garbage. And it also seems to me that a dislike being an option makes the like much more meaningful.

You are doing (well not gods work) but still great work!

I Agree, it is basically impossible to make everyone happy.Personally I would like to have a possibility to display my discontent with something, in a more clear, immediate and concize way than a comment. Yet it is clear that Lemmy does not have the tools necessary to keep it being fun while people aren't playing along.

it is very intense

what if someone were to release the same picture in several communities at the same time?

"...because of lemmy’s limited algorithms this will saturate the feeds of many people on this instance and other instances."

I would see that as some kind of post spam too

beautiful

Is ANY of these a no-go, or just a combination of them? sure, some are no-goes, but if you are that petty that the perfect dude is not for you just because he's skipping leg-day, thats on you.

yes... handS

there are some...

Nice.
