    Your lack of arguments prompts you to post something completely unrelated to the post. I believe you would call this ad hominem or whatever buzzwords you use.

      You should do something constructive with your anger, child.

      That’s an awful lot of words to say “yes, that’s me”.

      Get some help.

      Arguments are used in debate, this isn’t really one.
      Honestly, this meme was just a hunch and I’d love to be proven wrong.

      Why would everything posted in this comment section have to do with the post, especially if it’s a response to another comment instead of directly to the post?

      When we’re arguing about what should and shouldn’t be allowed on the Fediverse, ad hominem is relevant, because it proves that you already don’t speak for anyone else

    If you're not going to contribute anything but your rage, you should shut up. This is what the downvote button is for.

    source

    • Deebster@programming.dev ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      No, the downvote is meant to be for things that don’t contribute to the discussion, not for things you disagree with.

      source

      • killeronthecorner@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Is this documented for Lemmy or just grandfathered from Reddit?

        Not all instances even support upvotes. Some only support downvotes. Does every instance have to agree on the meaning?

        That’s the ideal, but we all know that’s not how the majority of users use it.

        source
    • spacecowboy@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Upvotes and downvotes are only there to tell people with no wrinkles how they should feel about a post. It creates a preconceived bias.

      Shut up.

      That is not censorship, my smooth friend. Nobody is censoring anybody in this context.

      If you turn your tv off during a newscast are you censoring the broadcaster?

      source

      • JustSomePerson@kbin.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        If my broadcaster blocks the news segments they don't want me to see, it is. That's what's happening here. Instance owners are taking it upon themselves to block content from users. Bullying pieces of shit are trying to strong arm instance owners into defederating.

    If the Threads-blocking instances have this level of maturity, I don't think we'll be missing much. Being equally childish as Facebook comments is impressive.

      If threads is so great why doesn’t anyone use it

      source

      • BraveSirZaphod@kbin.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        I'd throw some articles showing user counts, but you'd probably just call them fake.

        But if you are actually curious, I can gladly provide some. There was just recently a big influx of users with the EU launch, a tagging system was recently introduced, and more and more large creators have continued to migrate over.

        source
    • n3m37h@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Buh bye! Go to threads then, I seriously dont care.

      Facebook has shown time and time again they can not be trusted with anything.

      From spreading miss information to starting a coup and every shitty thing between.

      source

      • BraveSirZaphod@kbin.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Already there actually and have had a pretty good experience, though it doesn't scratch that same Reddit-style itch nor is it trying to. It's chilling at somewhere around 100 million users, so I'm not the only one.

        source
  • toasteecup@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Honestly, with the user level blocking feature in personally against instance level blocking as well.

    1. I strong believe in user choice. It’s clear from this thread that there isn’t an overwhelming majority in favor of instance blocking threads. There does not appear to be one that’s not in favor.

    1a) if the instance held a vote on the matter id naturally accept the majority choice.

    2. if privacy is a concern (which it should be because Facebook), we’re already screwed. Fediverse interactions (comments posts votes) are a matter of public record. So even if we block threads at the instance level, they can still zuck up our data so we’re not really gaining anything there.

      • toasteecup@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Honest question, how would they be able to do damage via the federation protocol?

        My understanding was that it sends data regarding posts comments and actions to all servers.

        The closest I thought I had was some kind of instance ban but while that gets federated, it doesn’t result in a ban elsewhere

        Instance a bans user foobar Instance b sees this information but foobar is not banned by instance b.

        We saw some of that with the hexbear drama a couple of months back
