If 16 is too young for Lemmy, 92 is unfortunately too old.

I’m sorry, but if you can’t use it during the first 17 years of your life, you shouldn’t be allowed to use it during the last 17 years either!!!11 Rules are rules…

ml represents all dictatorships…

Prevent opinion downvoting by disabling downvotes globally.

50 upvotes, 90 downvotes, that’s not problematic at all, but there is the huge total score of -40 in this case that could lead to the deletion of the post or comment.

By the way: My instance is one of the few with downvotes disabled. So, if you want to give me feedback on this, I can only see comments…

Opinion downvoting was the most toxic feature of Reddit and led to perfect echo chambers. We should have left it there.

If you want private messaging decentralized, there is Matrix. If you don’t mind, there is Signal or Threema.

No ads, no “privacy” popups, no “pleeeeeease log in” popups… I dunno… Makes the platform usable for me…

Sad… Did not see the survey when it was running…

“What is your gender?”

82 females, 3300 males…

Ah guys, where are the females?

Black and white, you know… Maybe, there is a grey way between loving a country and its total destruction…

The “innovative” idea to destroy that country is probably 100 years old, has never been successful and is always a very good attempt to get as many people as possible killed over there… Maybe, if something fails every time over 100 years, it’s time to try out something new. 😐

It was on a different account. I switched to an instance with downvotes disabled, because the experience on Lemmy started to feel too much like Reddit…

But trust me: It did not even remotly justify posting burning flags of a country with mods supporting that. Actually, I’m surprised… I’d expect that this is still normal on hexbear. Can’t imagine, they changed that much in just 6 months…

My instance has downvotes disabled. Only upvotes matter. So, at least, I don’t see destructive voting…

And as long, as I don’t post in their communities, they can’t silence me and have to deal with my view differently than just by removing it…

My experience: I saw a post on hexbear and only one view was present in the comments below… I did not know them then… So. I thought: Let’s share my view.

In the end, I got blocked for arguing and they removed my comment. And the people who responded to my comment with burning flags of a country and wanted its total destruction had nothing to fear. It was the most disgusting experience I have ever had on Lemmy.

But after they removed my comment, I understood why there is only 1 view present… Because the other view gets removed.

My instance does not block them either, but I do.

Had 2 experiences where they tried to silence me via blocking me… And one time, the people I argued with and who wanted the total destruction of a state and posted burning flags of it did not get blocked or warned. I hope, they stay in their echo chamber and don’t ever leave their homes…

How can it be dominant on ml instances, if it’s removed after 10 seconds by scared ml mods that can’t handle different views on anything?

Had a special experience, too.

I got blocked for arguing. Other people who he posted burning Israel flags or wanted the total destruction of Israel had nothing to fear…
