What is your line in the sand?
Edit: thank you all for your responses. I think it’s important as an American we take your view points seriously. I think of a North Korean living inside of North Korea. They don’t really know how bad it is because that is all hidden from them and they’ve never had anything else. As things get worse for Americans it’s important to have your voices because we will become more and more isolated.
Even the guy who said, “lol.” Some people need that sort of sobering reaction.
They do. Have you ever heard about elective dictatorship?
Mere presence of elections, especially gerrymandered to hell and especially where minority can easily win, does not make a democracy.
The USA is categorized by people who have studied this subject more closely than you (or me) as a flawed democracy. This is a dumb discussion. That’s all I have to say here.
And you know it is how, exactly?
I don’t discuss with people who downvote my comments. You clearly don’t care what I have to say. Good night.
So you only discuss with yourself?
There is some truth in that, I only pay attention to people who have a valid point.
How do we see who downvotes?
I know they had that on kbin but not Lemmy. I want to see it too. Which client or frontend are you using?
I just extrapolated. Their comment was posted at the same time as a downvote.
If they denied it I would apologize.
That’s disappointing. It would be a useful tool to have. Apparently the info is available in ActivityPub, we just need a client that sees it.
You think? I don’t much care about downvotes. But I do end conversations if I suspect that that other party is doing it.
I’d rather simply know if someone is downvoting my conversation with them. There’s no point playing guessing games in an active thread.
The other application for it is seeing if someone is constantly upvoting themself with multiple accounts, and seeing who is upvoting trolls and nazis.
