I went through the options on the Lemmy and say you can turn off all any display of voting and even the icon for the voting feature. Has you done this? Has it changed your experience of Lemmy?
I chose blahaj not just because I support our trans brothers, sisters, and non-binaries, but also explicitly because it does not federate downvotes.
There’s a massive difference in how it feels to only see upvotes alone.
If you consider upvotes but ignore downvotes wouldn’t that give you quite a weird picture in case of controversial posts? Assuming there’s a racist or transphobic post with 100 downvotes and 5 upvotes, would that be displayed as +5? Or does it not show any votes at all?
It displays as +5.
racist or transphobic
That stuff just gets removed. Admin and mods on blahaj don’t fuck around, really.
Thanks for the explanation. Maybe my example was too extreme but unless they remove everything that’s even slightly controversial, that can give a pretty wrong impression IMO. Wouldn’t be for me at least.
Is ‘non binary trans’ a thing? I hope I don’t offense anyone but so far I though…
- Trans = swap male to female or vice versa
- Non-binary = no defined gender / neither male nor female
If you’re non-binary what do you transition from/to?
Transgender is a gender thats different from what your assigned at birth. Not binary. Can be any gender.
I’m sorry I didn’t mean to imply I didn’t support the non-binary among us, that was bad phrasing on my part. Of course I support their right to be who they are.
