All I see is trash.

Is there some cultural significance to this?

Huh - I had not even considered downvotes in other instances… Yeah that seems problematic. Maybe rather than defederating downvotes, there could be a way to differentiate between local and global up/downvotes.

Malicious instances would need to be blocked by the instance you are registered to.

As for multiple accounts - couldn’t the same thing be done on reddit? Just make a bunch of alts and self-inflate your own posts/comments.

These issues are as old as the internet and can only be mitigated, not prevented.

That could be true and it could still ship with a metric shit load of bugs. Don’t they realize how high the bar is set? lol

Horizon Zero Dawn - tried getting into it but yawwwwnnn. I found it so boring and the protaganist obnoxious. Beautiful world though.

Still very excited for this release. But I was dissapointed to see the art direction changed to a more cartoony style - the original teaser was more realistic and dark. It kinda just looks like fantasy Outer Worlds now.

I’m not saying you’re wrong - I don’t know the truth. But your source is literally: “Trust me, bro.”

I’m already more active in 2 days of Lemmy than I was in 5 years on Reddit. Loving this community.

I hear ya. For us more technically inclined folk, it’s an inconvenience. For more layman folk, it’s completely unapproachable.

Ok? Your point? It’s still more than one community.

It’s gonna be more important than ever to appear active and engaging if we want people to convert from Reddit. It’s not going to look enticing if you need to potentially look around at multiple subs to see the content that used to be on one.

You’re not wrong about the load.

Until that’s implemented (which is great btw, didn’t know that was coming) - my concern is Reddit refugees will see ghost town communities and just head back to Reddit. If we try getting our small community to appear more united, it’ll encourage others to ditch Reddit all together.

As for the multi-lemmy feature - is that gonna be something we can just one click subscribe to? Or we’ll need to build out the multi ourselves? If the latter, then the concern about new users seeing ghost towns still stands.

It’s nice to have backups but doesn’t this just fracture the already small lemmy piracy community even more? Maybe running it as a mirror without the possibility to engage would be better.

I hope they make a Fucks version soon.

Just deleted my 5yo account. But it wasn’t that hard since I mostly lurked.

Understood. Thanks for the reply.
