Sometimes though there can be cases of harassment based on downvotes. I won’t mention no names, but recently I saw someone on Lemmy reveal (with evidence) how they were sent death threats and were harassed for something FAR more petty. If people like that can exist, then I don’t even want to imagine what can happen when your disapproval of a person’s opinions is public.

I believe people should be able to downvote whatever they want. People should be allowed to go against the hivemind. PieFed implements pseudonymous downvoting. For anyone worried about spam, they have powerful tools to allow admins to filter out people who do not contribute to the community, e. g. just go around downvoting everything.

You do a ritual to appease the Blood Gods, and beg to gain a fraction of their creativity for a moment in time.

Or you post about beans and potash.

You don’t want to be referred to as “Socks”?

I’m none of the people you describe, but I’m not a twink (yet™). Can we still hold hands? 🥺🥺

please make it stop

This idea is actually something I wish were true. The main challenge would be preventing accidental touches while still registering intentional touches. However, if that issue gets (mostly) solved, this idea could be very cool.

Imagine having contextual buttons for everything instead of the usual static volume/power buttons. e. g. You open your Lemmy client of choice, and there are side buttons for making posts, making comments, etc. We can take this even further: imagine you used the button to compose a comment, and now the contextual buttons change again to allow you to format your comment (like a WYSIWYG editor).

Also, realistically, if this were to be built, the edges would be curved, instead of the blocky slab shown.
