You don’t think the massive amount of repetitive jokes and reposts and overall shitty attention whoring content was a problem on Reddit?

We need fedi to go mainstream to deny corpo trash profits.
Why? Who cares if we don’t have to interact with them? Becoming mainstream was the downfall of Reddit.
Agreed. Look what Reddit turned into. Better to have fewer but higher quality comments than a sea of the same tired jokes and ancedotes over an over again.
No I don’t but there’s no reason to give them the option at all. There’s no positives to votes being public.
The post is about giving everyone the ability to see how everyone else votes on individual posts/comments. For instance if you downvoted this I would be able to look it up somehow and see it was you as opposed to it being anonymous. I don’t care if I get downvoted but there’s a lot of wackjobs on the internet who might use that as a reason to harass someone.
Right but we don’t need to give them the tools to do it even more.
This is about seeing what posts you voted on. Like if you upvote a post that someone disagrees with for whatever reason or you downvote someone’s post they could see that and go after you for it. Regardless of why you did it.
The problem with seeing people’s votes is you don’t have context for why they voted that way. Did they upvote because they agreed, or because they thought it was an engaging counterpoint in an interesting discussion? Maybe they just thought it was funny or wanted the thread it was part of to be more visible. Someone looking at your votes could choose whatever perception they want if they decide to go after you for it.
Easier to just ignore downvotes the instance I’m on doesn’t show them and it’s great. If someone can’t be bothered to explain how I’m wrong I don’t care about their opinion anyway.
Yeah, there’s no need for that weird parasocial shit.
No, because I’m not a 12 year old boy who freaks out every time he sees a set of tits. She can dress however she wants, it has nothing to do with the quality of her content.
So we’re still better off without them.
