For me, personally, it’s more about the focus of votes vs actual discussion. I’m worried it would turn the tides and make people much more focused on the votes than actual discussion. It might make it echo chamber-ish.
I recently disabled showing votes on my side (through Voyager app). Even if I get downvoted a hundred times over, if I just get a respectful discussion with links to (trustable) sources. I’m all alright with that.
I rather not. If it does happen, I’ll just rss Lemmy and stop using my account. I like Lemmy the way it is because there’s not much focus on votes and more on actual discussion.
May I ask the name(s) of these extension(s)? Currently having this issue and that’s why I mainly use MPV to load my music playlist on.
It seems like my comment has upset you or at least agitated you, if that’s not the case – it’s the impression you gave me.
I never said that we should ‘’not do everything we can’’; of course, we should. But that certainly does not mean we control everything. No matter how hard you try and how well you manage to maintain both privacy and control, at some point there will be a ‘’leak’’. Not by you but perhaps by your job, your family, friends or acquaintance. There are to many external things to have 100% control.
In today’s era, both privacy and control are truly mere illusions because you can maintain your privacy and believe you are in control, yet somewhere along the way, you leave a trail behind, especially with technology. I’m not sure why you brought ‘’morality’’ into the discussion of privacy and control – because that’s a whole other argument. This post and my comments were merely about these two.
Though, I did not expect my comment to get this much attention. It’s just my personal opinion, you can agree and disagree.
Call me pessimistic, but I do think:
Certainly, we can do a lot to have more privacy, but it is an illusion to think that we have complete control over it. Especially with social media, jobs, and today’s technology.
Quick question regards blocking - how does it work exactly?
When I block someone, I can still see their message. Just won’t get a notification. I thought, it would be blocked entirely - so I’m a bit confused.
Mistyped. Should’ve been “DB0 Piracy”. Which is the exact instance that got blocked by LW.
Come to be the dark side, DB0 zero Piracy!
I pretty much just read:
“Tell me, I haven’t worked as a cashier without telling me it”
When I try to follow while being logged in, it says ‘‘Could not find community’’ error.
So FireFish is similar to Tumblr? Because that’s what I’m looking for at the moment.
One question:
If you do not like it here then why are you here?
Content is decent/ good, certainly it is not as much as Reddit but hey - Lemmy is just getting started. While Reddit has been there for what? 7 years? Longer?
Got the same issue with my notebook but not with the desktop.
When I asked somewhere, I got downvoted. Tried different browser, no luck.
So for now, phone apps for Lemmy.
Ahh alright, thanks!
Says the guy with no real morals and also means; it will never really improve.
