Which - to me - is a good thing.

Do not know what downvotes are.

Yeah, it's the strange thing about engaging post titles - people seem to be so busy answering them, they 'forget' to also upvote them. In contrast, a meme that's funny but about which there's not much to say, is more likely to get an upvote as some kind of compensation for the lack of discussion.

If a post is interesting enough to write a comment, it also deserves an upvote.

[–] jh29a@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

you must upvote this post in order to comment

Its a silly system that only worked on reddit for a short while. If you are old enough you’d know that already from slaahdot karma development/history

/. 's moderation is the closest any moderation will get to 'adequate at best', but vastly imperfect.

Natalie Portman's grits approve this message.

My expectation is that a post's score is upvotes minus downvotes, but I think it should be more like upvotes plus comments with downvotes excluded (or maybe let users filter based on upvote/downvote ratio or something). Maybe count commenters instead of comments.

Downvotes without any response: This is unpopular with this community, but probably correct.

Downvotes with responses: This was either contentious or wrong.

1 upvote, 0 downvotes, 10+ responses: You posted something really dumb, and Hexbear found out.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago (2 children)

You posted something ~~really dumb~~ criticizing china, and Hexbear found out.

For me it was having the audacity to state Holodomor was real, ~~while denying it is actually a crime in my county.~~ Looking it up it actually isn't, but it's widely accepted to have happened and is taught in history lessons.

I turned off vote display and rarely miss seeing the votes. See also Facebook Demetricator.

[–] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Sounds like an interesting experiment. Know if I can do this using Boost?

[–] solrize@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

IDK what Boost is here, but Voyager and the standard web UI can both turn off the vote display.

It's a lemmy account setting. If the Boost app does not expose the show "show scores" setting you can change it in a browser and Boost should reflect the change once you restart it. To make the change, just go to https://lemmy.world/ and go to your account settings after you log in.

Tabs are better than 4 spaces

[–] GroundedGator@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

100% agree.

I configure my editor to use 3 space characters per tab. I've worked with people who prefer tabs represented as 2 or 8 or just about any number. But I can look at the same code as them worth my preferred look.

Also works best for line length restrictions. A tab is a single character and always is.

For me it's categorizing radical ideologies correctly. I just hate people throwing around buzzwords, calling anyone a communist/fascist they disagree with. Those words have meanings. You can actually be worse then the fascists and still not be one, it's not impossible. You can still be hated for that, but you didn't automatically become one, because you are right-wing and coincidentally an asshole. But the moment someome calls you a fascist, while you're just an asshole, their opinon automatically becomes invalid and wrong.
