I see the problem, it looks like Amazon. Stop shopping there

I’d say posting paywalled links is just as much allowing misinformation, as nobody can check what the article is saying unless they pay up.

So why not both? Post the article plus the archive link, everybody wins.

If you’re sharing news and want people to discuss, you should make it as accessible as possible.

Isn’t that the whole point of lemmy?

Interesting website. They have a page about prayer too https://whywontgodhealamputees.com/superstition.htm

Maybe fear was too big of a word, but people generally try to avoid being rejected by their peers. It might not mean anything online in the grand scheme of things, but social media has tapped into our psyche to keep us coming back for more positive interactions.

I actually don’t like the upvote / downvote system. It can manipulate users into posting comments that are generally thought to be more accepted for fear of getting downvoted otherwise.

I’m fine with it working under the hood and ranking comments based on the numbers, but the fact that everyone can see it all makes it more like an echo chamber.

Personally I only upvote comments that I really, really enjoy or replies that are on topic and constructive. Downvotes are for comments that are confidently incorrect, rude or nonsensical.

Anything in between I just don’t vote on it. At least theres no “karma” that’s linked with your profile on here. That would make it a game of chasing numbers like other sites.

I wholeheartedly agree. When you have an upvote/downvote structure, there is an incentive to not go against the grain and just post stuff that’s considered “acceptable” in the local community.

Not everyone treats the votes the same way as well. Some people downvote because they don’t agree with the content, the poster, just because they sound disagreeable or simply because the post is too much to read. You can apply the same myriad of methods to upvotes. Not one motivator is the same.

If we’d ditch showing the numbers and just have them work under the hood, discussions might start looking a lot more genuine.

There’s a new track? Aaahhhh!

This is the case. If you buy it via Google Play, you can edit or end your subscription via Google Play. If you did not, you need to use the desktop app to manage your subscription.

Dutchie here to explain why that’s not ironic:

If its a dotted line cars are allowed to use it, but only if it doesn’t impede on cyclists. So while they didn’t have to be there, it’s not unlawful as there’s no cyclists.

If it was a single line, it’s a different story.
