You make it sound like the real issue is people being flippant at seirous descussion, all I van say is learn to know when to nest comments and dont joke at the dieing
Honestly, I think the downvote button was made for a hellhole, its helpful for only those trying to derail a conversation with their own anger or sadness, "why not get a mod?" ...you got me
"Hey people, XYZ!" vs
"Lemmings, XYZ!"
"Hey, XYZ!"
"People here, whats X" vs
"Lemmings, whats X" vs
"Whats X"
"I want the people here to know X" vs
"I want lemmings to know X" vs
"I want you to know X"
Is it better, the same or missing the point
English wants titles for groups adressed, "guys" being the only word that has implied boundries rather than well defined ones, redditors use "guys" about as often as "redditors"
A way to more seemlessly link conversations together is kinda critical.
Seemless crossposting that shows you the comment as if it were a part of the conversation, kinda like a symlink.
Commenter links his post to an existing thread, collapsed by default mabe, and it puts the thread there as if it were always part of the conversation hirarchy
Pn the reddit side, i started lurking !savethirdpartyapps@reddit same topics over here but... people were being brought in circles by the same claims being repeated by the "nothing matters" people, the fact the debate was harrassed into hopelessness. The problems of these people were adressed to be not hopeless 15,12,7 and 4 threads ago. Its frustrating!
We are talking over text in an abstract conversarion structure (comment trees), in a place where you write your message on the wall and mabe some day (usually soon) someone will see it and write a reply back.
Whatever "normal" is, is what we make it. Hense the point of the post
Im soooooo modest that I know your lying to me. Thats how modest I am! oh, lemmy, wheres my keys to my jet? I swear I left them on the seat of the lambo and there not there! DID YOU TAKE THEM?! /s
EDIT: Oh... I sound like a smartass, sorry buddy, i was playing the role of the "humble" not arracking you
Your encredably lucky, most would commit murder just to be in your position.
most buisness have a shrinkwrapping effect, causing needs that are soft and hard to define to be compressed down with everything else.
Example: "Work more hours, you dont need to sleep" where 5 hours is a bare minimum to not quickly kill people from lack of sleep.
only thing sustainable is making the more maluable values have firm limits or not have the shrinkwrap effect in the first place
I remember I lost internet for months, only thing keeping me sane was a youtube downloading wbsite thats dead now, a trackphone and shit tier free wifi. If your on android, there are tools to make a (CLI) program called yt-dlp easy to use on mobile, as it converts telling the computer what to do via text into buttons and toggleswitches
That requires on-device AI to avoid suspission from mobile data usage and OS admin rights to hide the

light, or a "excuse" to why its on.
Even if you cant name them, go ahead and let others, connect to tor, create an account with a burner email service and post their insites on the matter.
Dont forget, they can hold all the physical buttons at once until the screen goes black, and head to the local library
Also, try out a de-googled pixel somtime (graphine,lineageos,etc...)
