i’ve seen a bunch of stuff about how that’s the way it’s supposed to be on Lemmy, but obviously people aren’t doing that…
really if that was the official original intention, it’s a UI issue…
something like Up Arrow and Poop Emoji instead of down arrow… or maybe more buttons, eg:
up, down, poop, or asparagus emoji… and various sorting options based on that…. - Comment on User "threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works" is banning users for downvoting his posts. 2 days ago:
i usually read all and i’ve never seen a boring company comm on my front page….
but “the lemmy way” is supposed to be: downvote if off-topic, spam or trolling, or some such, up vote if you like it…
not downvote if you disagree… lemmy is just too small for that at this point.
there are a lot of unpopular communities that deserve to exist that would be obliterated if everyone that hates them voted their posts down.
If you hate a community that shows up, just block that one community and it’s gone for you.
you can block entire instances for yourself….
i don’t think it should be allowed to exist at all, as the owner did the whole sieg heil salute and a bunch of other nazi stuff… but that’s an issue to take up with the instance, and i encourage you to do so and i’ll write them myself….
but in general, banning someone who only downvotes, downvotes “good” posts that should be on the community, makes complete sense. - Comment on IF YOU TAKE ENOUGH YOU CAN SEE *THE PATTERN* BRO 2 days ago:

this is “downvote trolling”….
basically if you have a community that a lot of people hate, people will come in and downvote everything… some will even subscribe and downvote everything.
so, obviously “the boring company” will get a lot of musk hate (and i hate musk).
but yeah, if someone never participates in a comm and just shows up to downvote totally on-topic posts it makes sense to ban them….
…
i’ve been permanently shadowbanned from communities i totally liked and agreed with for making a comment that reasonably stated a disagreement with a post… banning for downvote trolling makes sense… even though i do hate Elon Musk….
(the whole boring company community should be deleted because it’s a company owned by a literal Nazi). - Comment on IF YOU TAKE ENOUGH YOU CAN SEE *THE PATTERN* BRO 2 days ago:

- Comment on "Rizz", "cooking" and "based" are going to be stereotypical old people words one day 1 week ago:
well slang is very regional, as well as specific to different subcultures… like gamers have tons of slang/jargon…
seems like kids like to appropriate slang from elsewhere (often black slang, probably from music), then they assume they invented it and gatekeep it, then it progresses to boring or becomes part of the language like “cool”….
but whatever, i’m down with it… it’s totally tubular! - Comment on Can we please stop arguing about whether Bluesky is decentralized? 1 week ago:
well bluesky is not owned by a normal corporation, but i’d say the problem is it’s supposed to be decentralized, that’s it’s entire point and purpose….
so if it’s not, then that’s problematic….
it’s still fairly new so maybe they want everything perfect before they start federating?
the split between Ruby version 1.8 and 1.9 was huge and seriously hindered it’s growth….
i have hope for Bluesky and the AT protocol… but not a ton of hope. - Comment on Department of War Doesn’t Defend its Web Streams From Hackers 1 week ago:

- Comment on IME there's nice guys and then there's "Nice Guys" 2 weeks ago:
a lot of misandry comes from bad relationships too…
it’s similar to the racist mindset… they have a bad experience with one <whatever perceived race here>, and then all of “them” are bad…. - Comment on IME there's nice guys and then there's "Nice Guys" 2 weeks ago:
sometimes women are especially mean and insulting when rejecting men…
i don’t think it’s super common, and it’s a natural response to all of the men trying to be “players”….
but i think it comes from there, and then deciding all women are exactly the same as the worst experience they’ve ever had with a woman. - Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:

pssssh, sounds like typical Womanplaining….
that’s where a woman complains too much….
you see, in a typical post by a Man, they will get on average 15 complaints by women, but in a post by a woman, only five complaints by women… now you can’t tell which posts are Womanplaining and which ones are genuine complaints, but i think inventing new terms with “woman” and “man” attached to the front are the perfect way to achieve harmony between the sexes and don’t just reinforce sexism.
/s
all satire.
but, “mansplain” is hate speech and it needs to stop.
sexist condescending speech of men towards women is hateful and needs to stop as well….
inventing new slurs is counterproductive. - Comment on 2hot2handle 2 weeks ago:
everyone knows that.
you just explained very common knowledge to people that certainly know it.
the problem is the terminology…
men and women condescendingly explain shit to people all the time. If you attach the word “man” to it then you’re being sexist.
when a man is condescending to a woman because she’s a woman, then that man is being sexist.
if you assume every time a man is being condescending to a woman they’re being sexist, then you’re sexist.
every time ANYONE makes a factual claim on the internet and it gets enough traction, someone will chime in and condescendingly explain why they’re wrong. gender is not the only factor.
….
it’s certainly terrible how men are sexist and condescending towards women so often… making a new sexist term doesn’t help that problem.
also, i’m not assuming your gender and you don’t know mine, i am merely disagreeing with you. - Comment on How do I "sabotage" my own online content to throw a wrench in AI training machines? 3 weeks ago:

many ethnicities don’t grow full beards usually, but they can grow goatees….
white trash has always had goatees….
it’s weak af to try to be fashion police of everything a nazi does.normal people shave their head, people with bald patches even more… the two-block haircut is super popular in s korea and came from wwi….
goatees were super popular in the 90’s and a lot of people stuck with it….
i don’t grow much hair on my cheeks and i’m not going to be clean shaved everyday because a couple nazis started wearing goatees….hitler took over the charlie chaplin mustache and that’s the last thing i’m going to let them take.
also the goatee is a long standing beatnik/counter culture/ hippie symbol….
