Rich people shouldn't have the money to do this before we have universal healthcare.

Those were the days, but nah.

How are you going to show off to your peers by helping others? That's not sexy right now. It's sexy to exploit others for... checks notes... SPACE!!!!!!

No. I suggest you re-read what I said.

I am literally saying the opposite of that when I say "I'm not in the all or nothing camp."

Edit: You got 8 upvotes for being wrong, lol. People are really upset when rhetoric goes against the status-quo.

Not really. It's supply and demand. Even if another state were the new most expensive, that doesn't mean it will be as expensive as California is now.

I just said Indiana was fine.

California is the most expensive state to live in. People don't need to live there and would be using capital more efficiently elsewhere.

I'm not in the camp of "all or nothing." I think magnitude matters and we can all be doing more to reduce the disparity in wealth besides "making more money."

Might want to see how people live in Burundi before you call it a lie.

And keep in mind, you're only subjected to this conditions so people richer than you can be even richer at your expense. (Long hours, low wages, high rent)

This is what I mean by passing a bunch of money around at the top. It doesn't even matter if you make more money because it's just going to end up in the hands of landlords and investors. All of does is drive up inflation, making it so the truly poor people never benefit from our excess.

No, moving to Indiana is fine. Thank you for sharing.

I'm sure you did less work for more money than the vast majority of people struggling in Africa.

You chose to stay in LA, one of the most expensive cities in the world.

Yeah, a living in one of the most expensive cities in the world.

You could be living a cheaper life anywhere else, but you feel entitled to live in LA.

No sympathy from me. Spread out.

I think the transparency goes a long way to keeping the platform (instances) high quality.

Summerfags were originally collegefags.

Who knew?

Yes, it absolutely does. But I think it's still worth it to have a downvote system.

I'm glad we can even see the exact ratio, too. The more transparency, the better.

At the same time, it would be cool if users could just sort by means other than votes. If you'd like, it'd be nice if you could hide the votes altogether so you don't see them. I wouldn't do this, but I support having the option to for those who would.

I haven't seen them until this was mentioned.

I hope users one day have the ability to block entire instances on their own.

Err... can't you just stick with smaller instances that don't federate with the ones you don't like?

Isn't that the point of decentralization?

So... people should disagree with each other just to disagree?

If you're talking about biased mods, then I completely agree. But as far as the community, of course people are going to agree with what's popular and disagree with what isn't.

That's what makes things popular and unpopular.

You should just block those people when you come across them.

Eventually you'll start seeing them less and less.

I've seen way more arguing than agreeing, but maybe it's the communities I frequent.

I can see some corporation coming along with a very strict adherence to whatever rules they set out becoming a major player in the fediverse.

Usually it's when mods moderate with an agenda that their instances go to shit.

That's why you gotta hijack comments that are already upvoted.

I find the quality of content to be way higher. People aren't desperately trying to stand out or fit in with a crowd.

You're right about the mods, though. All it takes is a large number of reports and they will usually come up with a reason to reprimand you, even if you aren't breaking any rules.

This, of course, has been and will continue to be abused to drown out people with dissenting opinions.
