sure thing boss

lemmy and mbin show line breaks differently, in the same browser the line break is present on fedia.io and absent on lemm.ee

that’s kind of the point, other instances are already aggregating and rating your votes given and received, why shouldn’t lemmy show this to you?

it seems from a very brief search that likes and dislikes (see link below, i assume they translate to up and down votes) are the extent of what is available so a more nuanced slashdot or steam review type rating is unlikely to be viable.

in any case the ability to upvote and downvote feels like a core differentiating feature to this kind of forum and inbetween measures are unsatisfactory. upvote and downvote anything you like, and everyone can see you doing so, would be an improvement imo on the current implementation.

at least it may be possible in a future version to allow or disallow voting behaviours on a community rather than instance basis?

the author almost certainly has more experience in managing online communities than me (i have none) but it seems counterintuitive to see a dumb take, downvote and bother to leave an argumentative reply rather than just downvote and scroll past. downvotes in this case would defuse potential arguments rather than start them, but i’ll defer to the author and assume that’s not what happens

dual-voting (“I downvoted because I don’t like it but I upvoted it because you are absolutely right about it")

This is the most interesting take i have seen on the matter. it’s not a score out of five, why shouldn’t you up and down vote the same post?

you make an objectionable but very interesting point?

you are essentially right but you are belligerent and can’t spell?

upvote and downvote.

You mentioned accountability

not really. but yes i believe your online profile, as vague as that term is, can and should remain distinct from your irl personal info. what your account has up or down voted on activitypub is a far cry from being personal info

(edited for clarity)

piefed is already extremely redditty maintaining behind-the-scenes ‘karma’ and ‘attitude’ for users whether they signed up for it or not. why shouldn’t this info be public instead of in the hands of admins only?

the vote history of your lemmy account is visible

vs

your real name and address are exposed

how the fuck are these things similar

In MakeMKV preferences, Integration tab, VLC should be listed there

Do you have to pay for it or deposit it in the lock? In the UK it’s common in all supermarkets that they need a refundable pound coin to unlock, so many people have a ‘trolley token’ keyring with a detachable part to use just for that

it isn’t that misused buzzword but i don’t see how it’s rent seeking either

counter balanced

once it’s eaten all the reddit posts it will eat yet more new & improved reddit posts

there’s a comment from a few months ago with a torrent, the date inside is july 2022 so will be missing anything newer: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/5089994

SQL when pronounced as sequel. Squall or even squirrel would have been nicer imo

why would you delete your comment, then make a new account and use it to post the same comment?
