It depends. What’s your estimated net worth?

Wouldn’t that be the same thing with no other percentages in sight because we’re subtracting from 100%?

It’s Mr Fantastic.

Just like any game ever sold on a CD.

I’d even argue public votes can deescalate some situations, for example where both sides of a relatively heated discussion can see they vote each other up. They don’t necessarily agree but they appreciate the other side’s points.

As for the transparency, it’s not possible to list all the votes of a user, one rather needs to list votes on a given post. To profile a given user the attacker would need to cross-reference the data from all posts and comments which is computationally infeasible, both client-side and server-side.

On Kbin the votes are 100% public for anyone. I’ve migrated to Lemmy after the frequent server issues with Kbin and I miss that part dearly. It was very easy to gauge whether someone was engaging in a good or bad faith discussion by checking the votes within a discussion. That being said, personally I’m very light on my downvotes, and I can see how someone more trigger-happy would see it as worrying. Personally I see the vote transparency as healthy though.

Probably no, not in this specific form, that being said I don’t want to compare one tragedy to another. There are lots of disgusting parts of the human history, and that’s certainly one of them.

To my non-American ears “negro” sounds far worse actually. Probably because of how rare it is in comparison.

Frankly that’s something I do not understand. Why this single specific word? We have dozens of terrible offensive words. Why this specific one is considered so bad we cannot even talk about it directly, even when merely discussing it? I would think discussing it and not directing it at someone would be pretty reasonable. As with every single other word.

Which features do you mean? Not disagreeing with you, I’m just curious.

So basically Arch?

I guess if that’s how it works for you, sure. For me it’s upvote if funny, nothing if meh and downvote if downright malicious (bigotry, toxic behavior etc.). I don’t think I gave out more than 10 downvotes on Lemmy during this whole year. Though I can see how this post might qualify for the “bigotry or toxic” category, but I’m willing to give it a benefit of doubt.

That being said, if you have a different policy, who am I to judge.

If you feel the need to downvote everything merely not deserving an upvote, then yes, you need to chill.

Definitely not true, but still a hilarious meme. People downvoting this need to chill.

They’re free to change the licence of future versions.

Only if they are still the only contributor. Once you have more contributors, it gets far tougher to change the licence.

Because he’s good at playing outlaws, duh. /s

If the hard mode merely makes everything into a bullet sponge with huge HP bar, no thanks. I’m perfectly fine with some games just being easier and others just being harder. Or having multiple well thought out difficulty options, but only if they are actually well thought out.

As if! I’m sure lots of neurodivergent people would disagree with half of these points.

How many email accounts do you have? It might be a huge factor. I have about 7 accounts I need to check regularly and I cannot imagine doing it manually for each. I can see it working for one or maybe two though.

I’m truly confused about what people expected.
