  • This is just dumb and I suspect you know.

    by banning people you disagree with?

    By banning people from posting if the majority doesn't want to see what they are posting. If I was in the minority of downvoters I would simply block you.

    But if I were to invite people to Lemmy now, it would go like: "it's amazing but there are a few people posting bad stuff every day and you have to manually block them to make the place enjoyable"

    It's not just me, it's objectively the majority. And that's excluding people who blocked you and thus don't downvote you.

    You act like you have some undeniable right to post whatever you want if it doesn't break the rules directly, but you seem to forgot that the rules are there to make the community enjoyable.

  • and people in general have an overwhelming tendency to use downvotes to show disagreement, which is not the same as the post being bad.

    While that might be the case in some communities, I don't think it is in this one. People look at comics because they like them, and downvote comics they don't.

    And I don't think votes are unpredictable either. When OP goes to post comic from this transphobic and sexist author, they know very well it will be downvoted.

    I'm not saying we should delete everything with downvotes, but this is clearly a case of deliberately posting content while knowing the community will not enjoy it.

    Reddit solves this with karma. Getting downvoted is a punisment, and so OP wouldn't keep posting these comics to not ruin his karma entirely (which might even prevent him from posting and commenting in many subreddits).

    The karma system has its own problems and I'm glad Lemmy doesn't have it, but it also means we need to solve this another way.

  • Downvotes are a way of the community to show dislike for some content. People who don't like it will eventually moderate it for themselves by blocking OP, but any new user will still see it. I don't think that's a good way to run a community. Reddit has karma for that, while Lemmy doesn't and should deal with it via moderation IMO.

  • It's only one person constantly posting them, and they know very well. I don't know why aren't they banned already. All of their posts get downvoted to hell.

  • I always though it was "common knowledge" that most sailors in the medieval times didn't know how to swim. It might be an urban legend though.

  • My biggest issue with searxng is that google gets rejected all the time. But that's because the instance gets rate limited, no? Do you deal with that more effectively somehow? Is it even possible?

  • Who to follow on mastodon?

    Jump

  • follow a few hashtags of what interests you, then follow people who post what you like under those hashtags. once you follow a few people, you'll see what they boost (that's like retweet on xitter), and you can follow the authors of the boosted posts.

  • I'm not sure why you think I'm talking about people on antidepressants, as I'm on antidepressants too.

    So... if it's not helping anything, and arguably harming yourself, what is the point?

    There's not. It's not like I wake up and decide to feel bad about something I can't do shit with.

    I feel like you read my post as me saying everyone who doesn't have this problem is somehow bad and I'm good. That's not the case - I think it's not helping anyone and hurting me. What you described is obviously the best, but that wouldn't be very interesting question. I asked whether people would prefer the other extreme, that is ignorance.

  • Can you get yours to talk to mine? For me it reinforces feelings for almost everyone else which then reinforces the depression. I often feel like I deserve this, not them.
