There are a couple entire instances that consist of nothing but Reddit cross post communities and there is no interaction. They are almost not even a part of Lemmy proper.

There's no discussion or interaction on the bot posts. And if you subscribe to them they tend to overwhelm your feed quickly. And your Lemmy experience becomes akin to someone just sharing a bunch of article links. That's the opposite reason I used Reddit or come here.

Lastly questions being crossposted are really dumb. Imagine AskReddit or AITA where your comments aren't read by anyone, much less the person posing the actual question.

Cross posts with Reddit do exist and they are completely pointless.

I've been thinking about this for several hours since I first became aware of the debate.

I don't care that much in theory if anyone sees my votes. They aren't anything I'm particularly private about. I care about conversation way more than up/down votes.

However, some people get a little upset about being downvoted. I think it will result in retaliatory downvotes. You already see that when two folks are arguing. I don't normally waste my time downvoting a post I'm writing a rebuttal to, but when they are downvoting me I tend to do it back. I think if everyone had easy access, they would hunt down their down voters posts and retaliate regardless of the quality of the comments.

Lastly, I wonder if this will give rise to a client that lets you use one account to post/comment and a different one to vote. And if it does, will that be better all around? Then no one will be able to associate votes with a user. But it seems unnecessarily wasteful to create a whole account that does nothing but vote. It seems like it would deny mods (and everyone) a useful tool for identifying bad actors.

Technically, anyone could get access to the voters identity if they try hard enough but 99% of the users won't put in that much effort. And technically someone could already use different accounts for different activities, but without reason to create a client to support that it's too much of a pain to be worth the effort.

So I really think I'm on team status quo here.

I found this very interesting. Thanks for adding all that.

Diablo 4. The mechanics are fine, the game play is fine, the skills are fine, the activities are fine but I just fucking hate the character optimization.

There is so much bullshit to fiddle with and it takes so much effort to figure out if something is an upgrade or not. Usually it's an upgrade only if I change my build slightly and replace three other pieces of gear. It's fucking exhausting.

Thanks for sharing. It's important to get all our big feelings out when we're frustrated about something.

Voyager is a PWA. It works on both Android and Apple, as well as computers.

Edit: I guess the url changed when the name changed to Voyager, but wefwef still works.

I know it's confusing being new to Lemmy, but just relax. The information about a board is in the sidebar area, just like on Reddit.

This?

I appreciate the information and the links. I didn't mean to imply this isn't exciting or useful technology, just that when an article is pure hype I come away thinking someone is trying to sell me something, not give me actual information.

Are we talking about the canon of the Bible? Hell as we commonly envision and as it's used in this thread doesn't exist in the Bible.

I caught that video. It goes hard. I hope Trump personally sees it.

You can turn off showing the user name on a post. I think it defaults to off but I turned mine on, and I guess you did, too?

They would all ask everyone for their pronouns regardless of how evident their gender seems to be.

Every few years I change up. I don't like too much info about me being discoverable. I'm very uncensored online and if I had a bunch of people paying attention or especially able to link it to my real world identity I would be very uncomfortable being who I am.

One time my Reddit name matched my FetLife name and I managed to piss someone off who went through my post history and I quickly recognized my vulnerability. So no more of that shit.

But AI generated JPEG is better then AI generated JRPG.

Well done. I hate it.

We manipulate other countries similarly, so you can fault them but there's an element of hypocrisy in doing so.

I could've written this. Same answers, same reasoning. Word for word.

God damn it, India. What the fuck?
