There’s no posting to your own profile here on Lemmy, so I hope it’s alright that I use this space to just dump some shit that no one cares about.
I was going to migrate to mbin or somewhere with more features than base Lemmy, and I also wanted to be able to see downvotes, but I’ve decided that in spite of those things, I think I’ll stick around for a while.
As far as Lemmy forks go, I think I’m just going to keep an eye on them for a while until they’re a little further along in development and have more app support. I’m keeping an eye on PieFed in particular but for now, while I’m still new here, I think I’m going to stick with base Lemmy for at least my first year.
As far as downvotes go, I have realised that I just do not care anymore. And I like not caring.
So I can live with just not seeing downvotes anywhere in exchange for a good local feed that can teach me and keep me sane in these fucked up times ahead. And honestly, I’ve noticed that I even like the ‘All’ feed better here than when I was on world.
Thanks for attending my monologue. I might edit this with other random shit that has no place along the way.
Different instances have different rules regarding downvotes. Blahaj disabled them due to brigading I’ve been told - which is something that hasdn’t occurred to me before. But, yeah, downvotes aren’t something to lose sleep over; on a personal level, but it’s a different story if they are used to stifle your instance’s profile.
