42069 was never funny and never will be for those of us aged 16 or older.
Dubious and disagree downvotes. But that’s always been here already. That became pretty clear to me pretty fast.
Content curation.
I upvote or leave neutral opinions and arguments I disagree with if they’re well argued or otherwise contribute to discussion and strengthen respectful discourse.
I don’t know how you feel when your posts get sum-negative scores, but it makes me feel rejected and makes me not want to participate. I receive it as a social indicator. I see it as something that leads us towards echo chambers.
Yeah, I try to do this as well. I may not agree, but if they’re making an attempt at good faith argument and are holding a position that is not objectively wrong I’ll upvote or at least not downvote. I’ll always upvote someone who appears to accept that they might not have the higher ground. People still voteshame when someone tries to admit reconsidering a position, it sucks because that’a a disincentive to learning. It’s far too easy to emotionally knee-jerk downvote someone just because you don’t like what they said.
Of course, this is pretty subjective…someone can be right and a complete ass and get a downvote or you might disagree for reasons other than the presented info, but so far Lemmy users seem far more inclined to moderate downvotes or at least tolerate some opinions and dish back with rebuttals rather than just mashing downvotes.
Anti-emoji.
I’m not gonna bomb the place with them, but, occasionally if it fits, I’m throwing it in.
Cheers! 🍻
You’ve got 3 emojis in your name… I think you might use them more than most by a decent margin haha.

Already answered similar thread to this one 2 yrs ago , but threadiverse changed somewhat since then . Had different answers some of them already made their way here since , so gave different answers this time
Buncha reddit cringe like:
“The narwhal bacons at midnight” “Owling”
I cannot abide that shit.
It’s a code phrase to identify other Redditors in real life. If you ask someone, “When does the narwhal bacon?” they answer, “At midnight.” Then you both know you are part of the cool secret Reddit club.
It started in this thread. A user was bored at an airport and tried to identify other traveling Reddit users for fun.
