      People who downvote more than upvote tend to be the ones who get in fights a lot and say snarky, inflammatory and negative things.

      Summed up my whole sense of humor in half a throwaway sentence ;-)

      Seriously though, interesting read, thank you kux… you can really feel the author’s frustration and yet I can’t help but feel that they are interested in a certain kind of idealistic online community. Reddit but with a really restrictive HOA where everyone has the exact same color mailbox.

          That was my take on it too. The vague sense that you’re just going to end up with nothing but circle-jerks if you implement all these suggestions. I could also just be whooshing an attempt a levity, something obvious to a seasoned community moderator.

          Hopefully my shitty attempts at socratic method rate a bit better then trolling, but I often doubt it :-)

      Oof, I’d rather just stick to Lemmy and let people see my votes rather than deal with karma.

          I liked it being relatively obfuscated. Even though I rarely downvote. But the ones I do are the ones I’d like to avoid. Tbh I’m more ambivalent compared to my thoughts on karma.
