  • Has anyone else been trying to break their reddit-era habit of downvoting?

    Jump

  • Hard disagree. Down votes shouldn't be disabled, and I'm disappointed that Beehaw has chosen to do this.

    What about comments that give dangerous advice to an unknowing audience?

    That's one good reason for down votes. People may upvote it not knowing any better, and when someone comes along to correct them, the damage is done. Other knowledgeable people can't downvote it to make sure that dangerous advice gets pushed to the bottom, they just have to hope those that upvoted come back, see the rest of the discussion, and remove their upvote.

  • Damn dude just text your wife instead of trying to automate your relationship..

  • The fuck kind of question is that? Not going to entertain an uneducated troll.

  • What does that have to do with anything? You gave dangerous advice to someone with unknown skill levels for handling batteries.

    But yes, I do, and if you don't know what you're doing and puncture a cell trying to take the wrap off, you'll have a bad time. Li-Ion fires are terrifying, and it makes no sense to replace a few cells when you can just get the whole damn battery for a few dollars more and mitigate the risk of burning down your house.

  • What kind of terrible advice is this?

    Absolutely do not start ripping apart your old laptop battery to replace cells if you don't know what you're doing. Depending on the battery size and type, you might also not have many cells at all to replace.

    You would be better off buying a cheap replacement battery, especially if it's already 10 years old. Any cells that aren't bad today will likely be very soon.

    Telling people to pop open a Li-Ion battery is asking for a fire.

  • You can quite clearly tell when the Reddit apps stopped working on this graph of lemm.ee traffic 📈

  • If you cave everytime someone gets offended, you won't be able to write anything. Ignore people like that that are purposefully misconstruing your intentions just to make themselves feel better about their boring lives.

  • Jesus fucking Christ chill out. Shit like this will just turn people away. Get off your high horse and understand that nobody is making light of anyone's situation by using that term. So annoying.

  • Reddit r/pics votes on reopening with sexy pictures of John Oliver only

  • Will be a whole new level of sexy pictures at that point...

  • How many users here do you think are going to get bored and end up back on Reddit as soon as the blackout ends?

    Jump

  • The amount of new content I'm seeing every day should prevent some of that.

    I'm seriously shocked at how much Lemmy has blown up over the past couple days.

  • Brace Yourselves

  • Having to write a cover letter explaining why I'm a good fit for the instance.

    It's not a difficult ask, but it's going to turn a vast majority of potential users away from the service.

    I understand the need for it, but a typical user is going to be confused by:

    • Having to "sell" yourselves to some unknown individual, or group of individuals
    • Choosing an "instance", when most users have never heard of such a thing, and don't understand how a federated system operates
    • For the above: Understanding different instances and which one allows cross-instance posting
    • Simplicity. None of this is "simple" in terms of making a new account for a social media platform. This is unlike any mainstream platform out there.

    Again, I understand the need for all this. But your average user, which Lemmy desperately needs more of if it wants to become the safe haven for Reddit refugees, is going to be incredibly frustrated and dissuaded by the whole process.

  • Deleted

    Permanently Deleted

    Jump

  • Yeah, I went ahead and deleted my account and uninstalled the app to just rip off the band-aid.

    Definitely tough, but I'm hopeful for Lemmy.
