MODERATORS
This really should be the norm. If you look at old phpbb sites and the like generally when you “like” or “find a post helpful” or whatever they call it they will list the users who have liked a post.
This whole anonymous voting thing is again a redditism that lemmy devs need to break free from.
R*ddit was truly multiple steps backwards from phpBB forums.
im just praying for the day the lemmy devs decide to ditch the tree view and embrace chaos
I blame the tree view for the reason why Lemmy threads have performance issues relative to old school forum threads and why you can only see a max number of comments. There's a max number of comments you can see per sorting, so by sorting new and old, you can see double the max number of comments, but there's still a max number.
I mean phpbb threads are sorted by new and there's usually also a limit to the number of posts you can see at a time. They're both views into a database, lemmy just lets you sort the posts differently
Use chat mode
i think an old forum like is a bit different from how upvotes work. those were used more sparingly and carried more weight.
