Comment on Lemmy wouldn't really takeoff to replace Reddit until it's content is search indexable

  No. My post got 40% down votes. One particular user insisted that I was using Samsung flaws as an excuse to like the iPhone. That I should admit that I just wanted an iPhone and my criticism towards Android were invalid.

  I felt like talking to cultists. But I don’t think mods needed to involve. Lemmy is what it is.

    Sad to hear.

    But I don’t think mods needed to involve.

    I think they should to an extend, especially if the topic is Apple, being Apple to like Apple products seems like an evidence.

      I sometimes wish voting (or downvoting) could be limited to subscribers the subscribers of a community. Do you think this could help reduce cases like this?

        That’s a cool idea. There have been somewhat related discussions, but I can’t find any exactly like that. Maybe you should file an issue on GitHub for them?

        Sounds like a good idea in theory, but in practice would kill the entire usefulness of the subscribed view if people have to subscribe to entire magazines / communities / whatever only to vote on one particular stuff in them that is relevant to them.
