I think the issue is that pushing this kind of self moderating also takes a lot of culpability out of the mods hands as well and helps encourage reddit’s typical “my free speech!” trolls. I like the idea of mods having rules that allow them to use discretion to take out the trash and in theory upvotes should still outshine the trash.

That said I do see some things where it’s like this ads nothing to nothing and I do miss the ol’ downvote key to encourage it away. I also used to(well I tried anyway) use it as a means of breaking momentum of those stupid ass posts on reddit that would often fly to the top of a comment thread burying the actual discussion and content towards the bottom.

It was supposed to be a shitposting sub and in that context the stupid name makes sense, but it kinda morphed into a pc community that was meme-centric.

Punk? edit: Weird works for me. I know that lemmy used to have a language filter to try to filter out hate speech but it’s gone now.

Yeah OsmAnd~ has a lot of cool features like path tracking, and I find when I’m out hiking or in a park it has more accurate and available trail information than google does(though it’s still not perfect and still more of a supplement). Navigating isnt quite as good as google because of a lack of traffic data, and it’s ui is a little complex, but it works fully off line.

Hard pass on that dawg.

Oooh. I like what Im seeing on mander I do think I’ll subscribe to some of those communities

I heard someone else put the issue with mastadon/twitter into words in a way that explained why I never jived with it. With mastadon/twitter you follow people and personalities while reddit and message boards were more about following a subject or interest. The twitter algorithm and sharing I guess spreads a lot of stuff around and it’s cool that twitter has so many famous and inside industry people running stuff, but that community based on specific personalities makes it harder to follow.

Yeah if someone came down with a stack of money like that I’d take the freebee and tell them to go to hell.
