Too late. They all already came, minus the centralization issue.
Constant reposts and lack of any critical thinking or engagement. It is insane to think that every post I have put on here so far, I am new, has had more interaction that the gigantic āactiveā user base of Reddit.
US defaultism, eurocentrism, assuming everyone is male. But I think they are already here.
What you on about, brother? Isnāt this a place on the internet, here thanks to godās favourite country ? Clearly everyone can relate to the quintessential USA-ian experience!
And whatās that about Eurocentrism, look at a map, Europe is dead center! Asia is to the east and Americas to the westā¦ Relative to Europe!
Oh and hereās a massive /S, just in caseā¦
I was today years old when i was reminded again of this godawful expression.
Dubious and disagree downvotes. But thatās 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 theyāre well argued or otherwise contribute to discussion and strengthen respectful discourse.
I donāt 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 theyāre making an attempt at good faith argument and are holding a position that is not objectively wrong Iāll upvote or at least not downvote. Iāll 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 thatāa a disincentive to learning. Itās far too easy to emotionally knee-jerk downvote someone just because you donāt like what they said.
Of course, this is pretty subjectiveā¦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.
