You’re absolutely right, now that I think about it. My bad. But yeah, it makes more sense to upstream and make the features toggle-able.

Not all instance owners may want all those features implemented. Not the same but kind of like how Beehaw doesn’t allow downvotes while other lemmy instances do.

Dude was forced to buy Twitter because he couldn’t stop his big mouth. Seems he hasn’t learned. Lmao.

I’d think cocaine would be a better choice for an FPS, tbh.

A lot of us are consciously being more active here than we ever were on reddit. Over at discord, a few people are actually doing stuff that helps promote lemmy/kbin like listing communities that migrate, helping out new users, etc. It’s amazing to see people just working more than they did to make this small community successful. I’m not gonna waste that.

Yeah, Connect shows it too. But in my experience, at least with connect, it’s not reliable. The value changes (sometimes drastically). I noticed this early when my score went from ~80 to ~40 and checked if I had any comments/posts that were suddenly heavily downvoted (there were none).

Esit: Just checked with wefwef - points aren’t even the same between apps.

Edit 2: here’s a short discussion that touches on what I’ve mentioned.

We don’t have karma, so up/downvotes shouldn’t really matter to individuals. But I agree it would be great to have incentives to help out the owners.

What about custom stuff? Like custom emojis, themes, fonts, etc? Those aren’t really necessary but still gives you something in return. Or anything similar, really. I’m worried about awards having an effect like the karma system.

Hate dropped fast for me. One part of Harrow (i can’t remember which), however, almost made me quit the game.

8-10 unskippable ads before a video? Holy shit. That’s ludicrous.

Great post. Imho, a fundamental thing we should not ignore is letting people know what they’re in for. I’ve seen some users glossing over the intricacies of the fediverse to get others to sign up. I understand their side, but imo that’s not a good way to have people come over. People should be educated enough of the pros and cons as much as possible, although that might mean some would get intimidated and refuse to join.

Clear policies will be very helpful in addressing that, i think.

Edit: just have to add that i haven’t opened the links yet and only read the whole post. Not at home so I’ll check them out later.

Thank you. This is what I was thinking of. Lemmy/kbin is great but idk how mature they are in terms of accessibility. I wish them luck.

How is lemmy in terms of accessibility? I hope it goes well for them.

Tails, it’s goatse.

Fuck. I didn’t have to be reminded of this. Lmao.

With stuff like push shift and way back machine

So much this. I don’t get why people don’t remember this first thing when it comes to data storage.

This is being naive. Don’t trust a server you don’t run yourself.
