That’ll start when Christians try acting more like Jesus.

If you’re being a good example, good on ya’.

But remember that the Christian faith has caused many folks unimaginable pain and trauma, especially with their vocal involvement in current going-ons.

I love me some Jesus, but I absolutely avoid self-proclaimed Christians. Why? I just don’t want to put myself in situations with people who 98% of the time have hateful ideology. I don’t want it. That is why folks are wary.

If you are a Christian who looks down upon the poor, foreigners, handicapped, disabled, the mentally struggling, the LGBTQ+, or anyone else, you’re a shit Christian who doesn’t follow the teachings of Christ.

If you want to preach Jesus’ message of love and acceptance, more power to you. But you will have a big job ahead of you, because part of your job is to denounce those who preach hate.

You can claim to be a “good Christian” all you’d like, but many will be skeptical unless your actions prove you to be a true follower.

If that’s your goal, you’re on the right path. But do know where others are coming from when they voice their distrust of your intentions. They are not attacking you, but the institution that has hurt so many both now & in the past.

I wonder if down votes should be lightly nerfed. The idea would be to make it easier for people to post mildly unpopular opinions in hopes of furthering discussions and weakening brigading. I imagine there are a lot of people who comment once, get downvoted and then either never comment again, or only comment in ways that are safe and appeal to the community’s biases and sense of humor.

Something like requiring 10 downvotes to drop from 1 to 0.

Oh, it would also discourage spite downvoting since it would be hard for any one user to push a persons comment to 0.

Or since scores aren’t really even tracked across all of your posts and comments, we could just care a little less about how people are voting on our posts. If one isn’t well received it’s really not the end of the world.

Brigaders.

People with like 10 accounts that upvote themselves/downvote dissent.

I also noticed sometimes after getting into an argument it’s like they go through my profile and start downvoting everything. I feel like any vote that comes from someone’s profile (rather than in the wild) should be flagged as suspicious because it feels like they’re never genuine.

Kbin votes are public so we can see brigades in action.

Apparently Lemmy votes are too but it’s not accessible in the native interface, only from Kbin. Maybe a third party client will implement it.

It’s super obvious when it happens to you, but it’s not obvious when you see it in the wild. It would be a great improvement to the site to just show the users who downvoted/upvoted.

It really is. I’ve seen people being called out for doing it on kbin because we can literally see a list of users who upvoted.
