What I love the most about Lemmy is that you can see the downvotes as well!
Not all instances have downvotes, but most do
Only till the trolls arrive and have competitions to try to see how badly they can get downvoted without getting banned.
It’s nice huh. And no karma stats personally. I love it.
I’m having my first disagreement with what looks like a possible CCP shill here. And their down votes are just not relevant, except to portray that we both disagree with each other. I really like it.
I’m here! I’m traffic! o7
Me too!
Me too! And it’s all shit posts :)
🌎👨🚀🔫👨🚀 always has been
And when you have commented more on Lemmy than all your years on redit to hope to boost the subs/comms you love. Yes i was a lurker
I guess there’s more of a chance someone will actually read it when you post here. What’s disturbing me is how many of the comments on Reddit were just bots or farmers? I bet… Many
Oh yea I saw them in pretty much all of the replies. Many times they just copy pasted another comment. Sometimes was it pretty funny tho because it was so out of place haha
Would you like to know more?
Yeah, that is me right now, lol
Me too!
And a fine part you are doing!
I’ve gone from a lurker across all other social media to an active… Fedizen? Fedizen. And I’m loving it™
It feels great not to just belong to a single site but to a federation of many other sites you can almost seamlessly interact with.
Same! I’m posting and commenting more than ever. Gotta add content and spur the discussion!
We are all fighters and we are struggling for better social networks for our children
desire to know more intensifies
I have interacted with this post. Gays upon my booty.
New community hype
I’m doing my part! Ony own own instance! :)
A man of culture I see!
Realized I can actually choose a username I really like versus the one I made for Reddit when I was on a lunch break.
This is my first post on shitjustworks. Damn this site and fediverse thing is confusing though.
A common way I’ve heard it explained is to think of it like email. Say someone creates a gmail account and their friend creates a hotmail account. The gmail user doesn’t need to create a hotmail account to send them a message, they just log into their gmail account and send their message to friend@hotmail and the magic of email takes care of the rest.
The fediverse works similarly. You create an account on one “instance” and can interact with pretty much every other instance. There’s some nuance to it since it’s more complicated than email, but that’s the gist of it.
That’s a good way of thinking about it.
Do upvotes and downvotes federate similarly? If so, how does the protocol prevent vote rigging?
I just upvoted you and saw the vote increase on two remote instances.
The instances don’t seem to agree on your vote count, but both I was watching increased by one shortly after I upvoted you from beehaw.
There’s a bit of technical explanation in the Lemmy Docs here. I haven’t looked into it at all but if you’re interested, that seems to be a good starting point.
What movie was this from?
Starship troopers

underrated flick with some biting social commentary.
Yeah, it’s a shame that the sarcasm gets overlooked by many. So it gets mistaken as a celebration of fascism.
Such is the bane of great parody, unfortunately.
Thought so, but wasn’t sure.
