I'm upvoting your upvote kind person.
You're somehow the “top” Lemmy post of those with score 1 over the past hour. Congratulations!
It's quite but I am here just waiting and watching. Please don't stop posting memes.
You too, don't be afraid to post your own memes my friend.
Ain't much
but it's honest work
I used Harold as the sole stock photo person in my last work presentation. Sadly no one caught on, but it was still glorious.
It's not much, but it's honest work
Can't see your comment on lemmy for some reason. It's just blank.
Here it is anyway: https://media.kbin.social/media/09/28/09286f6c096a1a35c421036451b1e293b4f266e29f8cffbc824a850d22031a1f.jpg https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]/t/460973/Bit-quiet-in-here#entry-comment-2387321
Weird... good to know.
What is the sound of one hand clapping?
That's just waving then
There are few pure joys in life. Love what you post and post what you love!
This! god, I hate stupid empty reddit comment chains
This, yep mee 2
This, lets get a gang bang goin on
Bangarang!
The excitement has worn off.
the faithful remained
Damn right, what, you think I'm ever headed back to Reddit? Hah!
I'm really enjoying lemmy personally. Its crazy thinking reddit is over for me after using it over a decade. I love it here. Been off reddit since early June ( not this account )
I'm in the same boat. Not as big makes things better. Recognising names immediately, feeling like you're more involved in community. The Picard Manoeuvre posting constantly.
i say tomatole; you say tomatol
potatol
its good honest work
The fact that you can even do that proves the platform is hopelessly broken.
Yet here we are, discussing it.
That's a small measure of success!
Fair. Lemmy seriously needs to be fixed though.
What? It's a minor bug.. :) Hopelessly broken?
The upvotes and downvotes doesn't even matter.
Ohh, yes it does to people. I've had two idiots so far try to use downvotes to intimidate me to submitting to their opinion. It did not work on me because I am an asshole. They tried it because they believe it matters, and everyone else believes it matters too, otherwise they wouldn't be downvoting. Or upvoting, respectively.
They can downvote all they want but it has no impact on anything except the sorting order of the comments. :)
Little keyboard warriors everywhere.
You'd be surprised the insane bullshit I've seen upvoted on this platform, come to think of it. Blatant rape apologia and shit. Even Nazis and tankies. I've been arguing people like that into the ground, and everyone seems content to leave that up to the user to downvote away, but that really is something mods should be taking care of, not us. If mods won't ban people like that, why even have them?
Lemmy as a system is so fucked.
Mods aren't paid to moderate here and even though they should, I think almost everyone has a well paying job and a partner or family on the side that gets priority.
Also i think other platforms protected you from seeing what kind of opinions are out there in people. Just because mods clean it up on other platforms, it just means you don't see it - but those opinions are still there.
So I don't know, maybe I'm old fashioned, but I prefer seeing it than living in some illusion that it doesn't exist.
Enforcing rules isn't hiding opinions, it's enforcing rules, and the only way online communities can work is if there are rules regarding what someone can say and what someone can't. That's just the reality of the situation.
Whether mods get paid enough to do it is irrelevant. They chose to be mods so it's their responsibility to actually moderate. If they don't want to, someone else should be given the chance to do it.
