I’m on a big blocking spree, but moslty for non English communities.

196 is fucking brilliant though

Another commentator mentioned that this used to be built into slash dot. Downvoters were given a default list to choose from (with option to expand upon) why they were downvoting.

In the meantime, my shitty little plea to the fediverse is all I got; a mouse fart trying to shift the path of a cultural hurricane

That’s an amazing analogy. I love it.

I’m pretty sure I have this reoccurring nightmare.

Solar punk is experimenting with their return, or at least considering it. I don’t have much of an opinion, provided that context is provided, or at least they are used as originally intended.

How the hell do I upvote you more? That’s an amazing perspective.

While I agree with the idea of everyone getting the opportunity to be heard and form an opinion, I disagree with your rationale.

See, Lemmy, we can do it! this guy did it right here!

idk why we’re trying to categorize and make point systems for fucking everything.

honestly. Yay internet capitalism? Humanity must be sum zero.

think it comes from the ‘debate me bro’ atmosphere that seemed prevalent on Reddit

Fuck, seriously, tell me about it. I hated that part of reddit so much. Pedantic narcissists.

I agree with everything you said in your comment.

thanks! much appreciated.

could you please link me to the community? as I said, I’m somewhat new here. While I’m still a wide-eyed idiot in this community, fumbling across the fediverse, I’m a hard working one and would like to add it this there.

The other thing that I appreciate about this community, is that it effectively doesn’t really track karma/visibility. Yeah, my comment got 300 upvotes - what a rush. I can’t ‘build’ an entire identity online because of how many upvotes I’ve got though.

That’s the thing though. If they downvote and move on, then they aren’t adding anything to the conversation. If they downvoted, and then said why, it would spur more discussion. That’s all I’m getting at in this post. By talking about differences in opinion with civility in mind, we avoid echo chambers and all the other negative shit that goes with it.
