I wish there was multidimensional voting, and a way to filter out downvotes from people you don't align with. Minority opinions matter, but then getting downvoted to oblivion because the majority doesn't agree is damaging. It tends to lead to lowest common denominator content or proven reposts.
I agree with you. I hope karma is not implemented on Lemmy. The up/downvote system is fine the way it is now. I will say also coins and awards. I don't really think those are necessary. I'm aware that was something characteristic to reddit (correct me if I'm wrong) but I prefer all that to not come back.
Zero tolerance for fascists, and zero tolerance for state propagandists.
The fact that Lemmy is federated means you don't need to be tolerant of anyone and if they want to keep spewing bigotry and lies. If you make it impossible for them to exist in an instance they'll have to either give up or spool up their own instance that we can isolate.
Because running an instance requires some organization, maintenance, and money, anything that becomes too isolated from the rest of the fediverse will eventually die out.
One thing that I think would be interesting would be a small change to the upvote downvote system. Instead of just showing the total upvote -downvote, you could instead have a percentage, say as a pie chart. That way a user could visually see how agreeable/disagreeable a controversial topic is, instead of just + and - karma.
Similar to how the post vote percentage worked on reddit. I think I've been seeing the total + / - on comments here in my time browsing.
/s
Pretty much accepted it was the end of reddit when that started appearing.... /s
That and 9gag immigrants
If lemmy can avoid the use of /s and 9gag immigrants I'll be a happy little lemonian.
Writing and reading sarcasm on screenplays work, though. So why not on any Internet social platforms? This buffles a lot of Redditors. They really take the post/replies too serious.
