I love how the majority of comments in this thread have a single downvote. I wonder whoβs doing that π
Unlike Reddit, you can see who "reduces" (downvotes) comments and threads. In a comment click on more -> activity -> reduces. Yes, it is all the same person.
Seems like we found turtle's ball licker's Kbin account!
What?!? That's a fucking amazing feature, thanks for spreading the word.
Oh man, that's amazing. Thank you for that information
I'm loving (Lemmy) kbin more and more with all these accountability features. Thanks for the education!
Edit: I apologize for the confusion. I realized the error a few mins after posting this. The fediverse is still confusing me a bit.
Edit2: I don't see any strike through text formatting. Maybe in the next update?
Regarding strike through text formatting, it's markdown, so you just type two tildes on each side of the text to strike through like this:
~~[insert text]~~, and you get ~~[insert text]~~.Here's CommonMark's quick reference for some other basics: https://commonmark.org/help/
Intriguingly Jerboa doesn't actually render the strikethrough
It looks like strike through has already been added to the Repo for an upcoming release
https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/pull/610
That only works on kbin tho, many from lemmy also participate here.
Which, and I've said this before, is awesome. The Fediverse is wild.
Posted on Jerboa for Lemmy :)
Not sure I like that feature...
Accountability?
Anonymous voting incentivizes participation.
But is it the kind of participation you want?
Yes, I want people's honest opinions. Not just the opinions they are comfortable share publicly.
I don't see "activity". Weird.
It looks like a kbin feature, not sure it exposes Lemmy activity
federation strikes again! growing pains for sure
It's under "more"
Hmm, I don't see it either. Expanding "more" on a reply gives me:
Up, Down, Reply, PM, Report, Block, Fav, View Source.
Maybe we're missing something obvious? XD
TY in advance if we are :)
ahhh are you on lemmy? this is a kbin thing
Oh, true?! Much to learn, I still have.
Thank you stranger :)
tbh I didn't realize until this thread! So we both learned :)
I am not seeing anything? Even on posts that have downvotes.
ah, seems kbin-only
Well since this isn't reddit you can actually look at who is downvoting. So whats up with all the downvotes @amnesiac7 ?
Ah interesting, seems he immediately downvoted you too!
I just boosted everyone in the thread. No ones rep was harmed in the making of this comment section.
OH I didn't realize that the first tab was "boosts" and erroneously thought YOU were the downvoter, I'm glad I saw this comment.
What does boosting do?
That account has been busy, too. 1 week old and has created 99 threads, mostly political rage bait.
Lmao deleted his account
This place is feeling more and more like Reddit every day lol
Not sure if that's a good or bad thing, so I'll just say it's a 'thing'.
How can you tell
I do like it. Means someone's answerable for their downvote instead of being able to be an anonymous troll.
I agree. Make people think twice about downvoting. It might help keep it from being used as an "I disagree" button.
We have anonymous voting in politics. People tend to think it is a good policy. Why do you think it is different online?
If you keep your account anonymous and don't dox yourself, there's not much to worry about. I'm not scared of a few internet losers trying to dig up info on somebody insignificant and unimportant like me.
Itβs being discussed currently and Iβm sure it will go away.
It can't easily be removed since it needs to send out that information into the federated network. At best the function to quickly see that can be removed from the GUI.
I suppose the instance originating the content could receive votes and only report anonymous totals to other instances, but any instance that your votes pass through can still see them.
Imagine the problems that it will cause if bots are used to map who downvoted you.
Ooh, is his ghost in the room with us right now?
Good luck becoming mod of 1000 communities/magazines in the Fediverse, with them distributed across all sorts of different instances like this.
