Some background of this incident:
I made a post with a meme about a TV episode in which some evil aliens pretended to be friendly and share a vaccine, but the vaccine turned out to intentionally render the victims infertile so they would not be able to fight back when they began being enslaved. Unfortunately, I did not consider that to an outsider, the meme just looked like your garden variety vaccine misinformation/conspiracy. I was able to edit the title and add some context to the post body, so the post was able to “recover” as more people were able to see what the joke was intended to be. But initially, it was (understandably) down voted immensely. Just a funny misunderstanding.
So Stargate SG1?
I wonder if people just saw it in their feeds and didn’t see the community? Since with just a few words into this comment I knew exactly what episode you were talking about… And I am sure that if I had seen your meme on chevron7 without the added context I would’ve known immediately. Since those are such a good couple of episodes
I don’t like platforms that do not allow negative feedback tbh.
It’s not really that they don’t allow negative feedback. They just prefer that if you do have negative feedback, you comment it instead of just downvoting and moving on.
Doesn’t that system make for incredibly obnoxious comment sections consisting only of people disagreeing and complaining + argumentative responders?
Normal comment sections are often bad enough already
yeah…
We really need c/rimjobsteve but I fear it’d mainly be full of @SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world
I see nothing wrong with that plan.:-)
I don’t think I’ve ever said anything deep or meaningful.
Displaying only up votes, or a combined score, is deceitful and misleading, and I’m very disappointed that Lemmy is following that trend. The big sites have chosen to do that because they’re more interested in profit than objectivity. Why is Lemmy following their example?
Well it’s still up to the instance owner on how to display it.
Or the app.
