I’ve found you can just add “ reddit” to a query and get the same result. I believe - but I’m trying to not do that. Haven’t browser Reddit in 2 weeks. Lemmy is good enough at the moment.
Agreed. The function of the down vote is to deprioritize that post/comment. People should use the down vote when they want to deprioritize that post/comment.
With the heat waves in Europe right now, I don’t think the other side has it any better.
I think you mean summer, rather than monsoon. And yes, it is quite humid in comparison. I never got used to it, I always sweat like a pig in the summer, without exception. As you figured out, the trick is to stay indoors.
Unsubscribe from the community. I did it this morning myself. It’s out of control and I had to scroll 2-3 pages before I found literally any content that wasn’t just a shitpost circlejerk meme.
It’s usually in the sidebar just like it was on Reddit. Also make sure that you’re only viewing your subscribed communities instead of “All” which is the default setting I believe.
To touch on this I think the sorting algorithms could do with some improvements, it shouldn’t be possible for one or two communities to completely take over the front page just because there’s a lot of activity on those communities.
I recall Reddit used to have a similar issue until they tightened it up.
For now just blocking the specific communities should do.
One of the only good things spez ever did was when he first came on as CEO they updated the front page algorithm to promote more small and niche communities and limit how much one sub could dominate the front page
Some say he is held against his will in The European Organization for Nuclear Research in Switzerland, commonly known as CERN. Apparently, his sacrifice made a a giant leap in the field of Condensed Dark Matter.
Human Right activists are fighting for his immediate release, both from the imprisonment and for his bowels.
General discussion threads, sure - ‘up’ = ‘good content’, ‘down’ = ‘irrelevant’. Irrelevant could be because it’s not to do with the matter at hand, it could be hateful, trollish, whatever.
Post asking for a specific fact, like in ye olde askahistorian? Up = correct, down = incorrect. Doesn’t matter how well written or how good the intent is, downvoting for disinformation.
One of the things that Slashdot got right was being able to upvote / downvote with a reason. (Perhaps only being able to upvote / downvote occasionally too, which stops brigading.) Made it possible to filter on why things were good, save ruining your fake internet points when you were mistaken about something as opposed to being an arsehole.
Interesting! I’ve kinda thought this myself, that having a sort of sentiment meta data attached to online actions would be an interesting way to go, kind of as a substitute for the body language and gestures we use and pick up on in real life.
Enter: the wheel of upvote options and the multidimensional spectrum of downvote options. Don’t worry, I’ll ask Google to analyse my life history and feed it into the emote-i-vote.
Come to think of it, I like the attach emoticon thing in GitHub (and lots of other social media? But I’ve liked it in GitHub) to get a relatively convenient and concise expression of “I like your message in this particular(ish) way”
