Lemmy is so good right now for no particular reason
(lemmy.world)
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Not for any particular reason, but for a variety of reasons that work together to make it even better. I have listed just a few of them. Feel free to add to the list as you see fit.
I am looking forward to great days ahead.
Don't forget the free ice cream when you signed up this week.
...you guys did get the free ice cream, right? It was on the sign up page and everything?
I only got a browser cookie.
do you have any youtube video that can explain fediverse, lemmy, etc so far the explanation video i have found is already old and not that clear for me
Try these:
Hope that helps.
Personally I'm against that as it can allow controversial content to look the same as universally supported content.
There are instances that disable downvotes. https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances has a field saying if an instance has them enabled or not.
MORE reasons to enjoy the federated aspect. I am ALL for each instance having their own rules and protocol. I'm not a fan of removing the down voting but the fact that it is something that can be chosen by a group feels really good to me.
why would you want that? out of interest?
It isn’t for no reason other than that. Granted, that is a reason. However, without a clear ratio of upvotes to downvotes, there’s no differentiating between good vs bad. YouTube removed their dislike button, but you can still see how many views a video has. If a video has 1m views but like 3k likes, you can see a ratio there. On here, there’s no ‘views’ per comment. So a use case would be that, say I posted something objectively false that supported a narrative. If others come along and support the same narrative and upvoted it, that post would look relatively credible. Downvotes allows for democratic running of social media. Which is what Reddit once was, and what lemmy is trying to be.
I know it’s a shit thing to say, but if your posts always get downvoted to oblivion, it’s probably moreso you that’s got a skewed outlook vs everyone else. (Not you as in you but you as in the general person)
