It’s just a UI burden on the user which doesn’t exist on apps where likes are visible like mastodon and twitter. Like yeah okay maybe the nuances of communication don’t matter to you. Programmer…

    Public votes long term engender a high-trust culture when it comes to voting behaviour. The original purpose of downvoting on sites like Reddit were that they were designed to downvote spam, abuse, off-topic content etc. Not just a disagreement button. It’s the same principle behind public moderator logs and public user posting history.

    It also gives community moderators the ability to observe hostile voting behaviour and ban people for spam downvoting.


    EDIT. I misread: Oh, they are public. You can go onto lemvotes.org and community moderators can see voting behaviour on their communities.

      Where is that tumblr screenshot where someone is like “if your thing relies on everyone spontaneously doing the thing it will never happen”? Anyways it’s something which I agree to only with the caveat that we are talking about societies with fucked up social relations where people are forced to be selfish or die. That video of the Chinese easily zipper merging cleanly demonstrates there is a way to get everyone to Do The Thing. meanwhile when I lived in the US every single fucking person sped up in a way that almost killed me because they couldn’t land a skillshot to save their life.

      So we are on a westoid site let’s reveal the votes cmon worst thing that happens is people have another thing to talk about on here

      Yeah again I already know about that I’m not using it because using social media tools is for fuxking brain perverts. I’m not doing that it takes too long
