  • lemmy vote reform idea:

  • yeah, there's all sorts of interesting ways to take it- i'm sure they each have their own merits and pitfalls... i once dreamed of a social media site where you could only POST one thing per day :P what that would do to the quality and length and decisions related to topic... but that would promote more botting

  • lemmy vote reform idea:

  • that is sort of what my notion amounts to- it creates weighting-- doesn't prevent people from upvoting, but prevents them from obviously malicious downvote sprees. when you see someone with a lot of downvotes, it would mean something more.

  • twitter has something like this that hides you away until you're 'established' by reposting and following x users.. ostensibly to curb botting-- it feels shitty though and could drive a lot of users away.

  • well there's the implementation angle-- i would think one is a lot more complicated to put together than another- naturally i prefer my idea and you prefer yours, but there is elegance in simplicity and it could be a place to start- no reason both ideas can't be explored.

  • so if i were to post something in 'world news' but there is a very clear and decisive groupthink that doesn't allow different positions air to breathe, what then? again, that's 'WORLD' news

  • its not a huge issue, but its not a non-issue.. you don't have to be so black and white with your dismissives.

  • oh i do... when anyone is allowed to target someone with a hundred downvotes, literally clicking through their post history to do so, just dilutes and damages the data / meaningfulness of those actions. believe that each instance has an interest in that data, whether you do or don't.

  • it would be an interesting environment to experience.. i'd be curious to see where people put their rarefied downvotes-- how they adjust their button pressing economy :P

  • except that it affects sorting and thus visibility-- it does matter, after all. it doesn't even have to be 2:1 you could go 1:1 and see folks who do nothing but downvote suddenly have to engage and support growth

  • if a user takes it upon themselves to painstakingly downvote everything i post..

    Jump

  • well i hope for his sake he's a bot.

  • if a user takes it upon themselves to painstakingly downvote everything i post..

    Jump

  • well it happened two times because every post for the last 12 hrs or so that had 0 downvotes suddenly had 2 and it happened because i have a less than popular understanding of the situation in ukraine.. happened a day or two back as well, but again its not of great concern where my up and downvotes rest, just good to know it can be confirmed one way or another.

  • i can survive the downvotes, it gives me enough peace to know its visible behavior.. how embarrassing for them

  • author complains about having to repeat himself in his ranting over and over again, 2/10

    read this if you like angry people yelling at you.... tons of bold, italics, underlines, and even the occasional ALL CAPS

  • in my opinion they're terrible and their strategy is terrible, they are movement vampires that choke out the grassroots.. they assimilate young people by speaking to issues they never seem to address. they have shown time and again they will say anything to remain in their do-nothing stop-gap positions...

  • i think you're too kind on the establishment democrats.. what is distasteful is their absolute refusal to represent anyone but their donors.. biden wouldn't step down until it was 'too late' to have a meaningful democratic process so we got de facto kamala appointment.. what kind of party is this? she did not even win her own home state when she actually was involved in a presidential primary. the democrats are terrible and deserved to lose. one could be forgiven for assuming they wanted to lose.

  • i can see them as a funny inversion as well, for instance: you can't accuse mtg of faking her passion, crazy as it can get.. aoc on the other hand is not convincing to me.. maybe she can change my mind, but she was disappointingly late to speak up about the biden backed genocide and seems to be more of a token mouthpiece for a constituency that the democrats (at large) are distancing themselves from.
