Hades is perfect. Every single pillar of that game supports each other.

I agree that’s what it supposed to be, but nobody really treats it like that. Downvotes are treated as a “dislike” button, despite the fact that it should be “this does not contribute meaningfully.“

Regardless of what we want, that’s just how people operate.

God I just got flashbacks to “edit: thanks for the gold, kind stranger!”

I think you are envisioning something a little more intentional/thought out than it is. We do this socially all the time. You gauge the audience and you adjust what you’re going to say to better fit it. Or to upset them if you’re trolling but that tends to be more deliberate.

I bet if you took your comments from a hobby sub/forum/group/etc. you frequent, and then one from a meme community, you will find your tone and rhetoric are very different. And again this is not a bad thing! You are doing and saying what is appropriate for the context. It is very natural to do. But the point is you probably don’t sit down and calculate your exact wording. We just sort of do it, and our goal is generally to “fit in“ or get some affirmation from the community we are participating in.

I was just trying to understand how you wanted me to respond to that comment, nothing nefarious or anything. You had a “why“ statement with no ? then a statement after, so I was just trying to make sure I was understanding you correctly and respond appropriately and such. Just your typical “lost in translation“ with text formats.

Sorry I’m having a little trouble following. Are you asking me or are you stating that?

I love how in these examples it’s always “for no reason“ and yet we never see the context.

Yeah, I found people always made a bigger deal out of that than it really was. I think folks just assume other people are having trouble even though they didn’t personally.

I understand what you’re trying to do, but I am not interested in playing this game.

On a sidenote: I saw Oppenheimer recently as well, but let’s not shoehorn quantum physics into a discussion to make your point seem more elevated than it is.

Why are you changing the parameters of my example lol

While I agree unpopular opinions often get shouted down, i think people often forget that sometimes what they consider an “unpopular opinion” is unpopular because it’s abhorrent or just wrong lol. Not every comment/idea is valid and deserves to be entertained.

Being anti-vax is unpopular in a lot of circles and I am perfectly happy with seeing those comments downvoted/ removed and the users banned.

Are you using a third party app?

Kbin has “reputation” unfortunately. I like Kbin enough to ignore it and I’m hoping others will do the same.

Lemmy doesn’t but Kbin does.

Huh

Whether or not it intended that way, that is not how people browse. Most people just sort by “hot“ - the default - and doomscroll all day. There is nothing to incentivize people sorting by new/active comments so no one will.

Huh

For a school they functionally are. They can’t use them if they can’t get security updates.

Well, one group gets paid to put up with you and the other group doesn’t, so maybe disentangle that a tad lol

Only if it's on purpose! I just love reddit sooooo much!
