How exactly can I see who downvoted? Can’t seem to find it in the regular view, and the debug info only shows the vote count, not the voter.

Yep. I quite enjoyed how lemigrad and lemmy.ml used to be the forerunners of lemmy and then quickly got kicked to the back because nobody in their right mind wants to interact with tankies.

Federation = replication of content across multiple servers for the sake of preservation and accessibility.

It does not equate to freedom of speech or freedom from censorship.

If you want an instance that allows just about everything, I repeat: Start your own, nobody is stopping you.

Without censorship tools this place would be riddled with spam, porn, and disinformation bots, just like reddit at its peak.

What moderators use those tools for, is in their hands. If you don’t like how certain instances or communities handle them, you can just start your own with minimal effort, that’s the beauty of the fediverse.

Sure, just give your data to China and get their ads, who cares.

It’s clearly some link farming bot account, just look at the username.

Nobody but a handful of nerds uses it though. You won’t get your grandparents and less tech literate friends to leave whatsapp in droves, simple as that.

Wise words. Another one for the block list.

It’s Instagram with no content or algorithm. To me it’s an empty page, because I have no idea how to subscribe to things that I would like.

I tried keywords like fun, sketch, photography etc etc, but those are catch-all phrases that get too much shit, and narrow keywords are so specific, I see next to nothing.
