Yeah that’s what I meant by hiding them. I hide them on desktop and mobile, but I think it would be even better if they didn’t even exist to hide.

Yeah the upvotes were so stupid. I hid them even back them.

I wish we’d just get rid of them completely on lemmy. Or at least make them invisible.

I was on reddit for well over a decade, and performed a lot of free labour, not just as a mod but putting real thought into posts and comments.

Anyway, I requested all my data so I could have an archive of it, then ran my comments through PowerDeleteSuite a couple of times for good measure, and honestly was shocking how quickly I stopped having feelings for my old account.

I’ve also had no use for the “archive” of posts and comments over the last 10+ years. It just made pulling the plug easier.

Honestly I don’t even the love up/down votes on comments (makes sense on posts).

I’ve hidden them from my UI, but I wonder if it would be better for everyone if they just weren’t there at all.

It smacks of “engagement” (as in the metricisation of interest/approval; not like actually connecting with real people).

Maybe a “like” like on BookWyrm that only the commenter sees would be good…

Nah, I want more, smaller communities.

Yes.

This makes sense, but I always feel “tricked” if I don’t notice I’m reading or looking at generated stuff until after a tic.

I think plagiarism fits. Producing someone (or many someones) work as an original.

Sup.

Didn’t actually, but I’ll admit that for a second I thought oh man someone needs to tell them they’re trying too hard but then I thought about how strange it was to introduce yourself to a community via DM and how many people you’d have to send it to, and–oh, just like spam, because it is spam lol.

But I’m quite gullible / naive, so usually take most comms at face value initially. It’s just how I am.

Oh this is those King of Carrot Flowers people!!! Cool. Thanks for sharing. :)

How strange it is to be anything at all…

I love that. Thank you for sharing.

Look up glute bridges. I do them just so I can sit comfortably on stools

It is a gift

Hahaha well stated though

People might actually start singing again

It is kind of a hopeful message isn’t it?

If we can get enough coops going we could even shut out partner business that don’t have democratic workplaces.

lol! wait, omg stop this I didn’t even have to go what is

Tight.

Fediverse really is shaping up to be all the best parts I remember from forums growing up.

Last three are bomb
