First all the bs with Twitter and Elon, then Reddit having an exodus to Lemmy (not complaining lol), then Twitch. Are we like, in an alternate self healing dimension or something?

    I love that upvotes exist on Beehaw, but not downvotes. No more brigading. Now, if someone disagrees, they actually have to comment. Ideally, that leads to actual conversation instead of ME NO LIKE. ME CLICK DOWN ARROW.

      The age of wholesome brigading is upon us. Thousands of friendly users descending comments, pivoting and posting comments of encouragement

      About a decade ago it was pretty common for subreddits to “disable” downvotes. It was just a css hack so nothing but a cosmetic change, but I remember people saying similar things.

      As I understand it, on lemmy it’s kind of the opposite. I’m not on beehaw so I can still see the downvote button, but it does nothing if I click it.

        That’s good to know, I wasn’t sure how interacting with the downvote button would work cross-instance.
