Aa!

It sounds like you’re describing every libertarian I’ve ever met

If downvoting for disagreement isn’t okay, then why is it okay to upvote for agreement? (And why did you downvote me, if you think that’s a bad thing?)

Voting is so users can express their opinion of what does or doesn’t belong in the feed. People who can’t handle mild criticism or disagreement shouldn’t be posting things in public spaces

Personally, I agree with the vegan philosophy of reducing factory farming of meat. What I think is bad for society is villainizing anyone who doesn’t 100% agree with the most extreme viewpoints. Which is explicitly the sort of posts I downvote

And also why I’m no longer allowed to downvote toxic vegan posts in Lemmy.ca

Disagreement isn’t an invalid case for voting, despite what Reddit had people believing before.

The voting system is to let people know how many people thought this content was good or not good for the feed. If you shouldn’t downvote for disagreement, then you shouldn’t upvote for agreement either

But nobody has any problem with that

Voting on content in the feed is helping to curate it for others. If a community gets more down votes than up votes, maybe the community is the one at odds with people

Voting on content that is in the Lemmy feed is engaging in good faith. That’s what the voting system is for.

What is not good faith is suppressing anyone who doesn’t 100% agree with what your community is for

It really bothers me that Odo didn’t choose to be the same plastic blue barrel that nearly killed Worf

They would sell ps5s in a bicycle shop

I think I spent way too much time focusing on how close these scientists were to the blackboard.

I thought it was an eyesight joke or something

I would much rather they have the mute button. Put them in soundproof booths so he can’t talk over her when it’s not his turn.

I know those words, but that doesn’t make any sense

Merlin wasn’t an Asgard, he was an Ancient!

And he lived inside Daniel Jackson for a little while

I’m pretty unhappy with the whole idea of civil asset forfeiture.

Just the same, if anyone deserves it, it’s these dummies. The police department was even warning the public that they would be out there doing this. The whole event was a stupid one.

I usually assumed the “larger than life” giant hills and huge woods were part of the way Calvin looked at the world, rather than the way his parents saw it. After all, he saw his dad as working in a high-rise office, which would be out of place this close to a home like this

Just the same, it was clearly a great place for an imaginative outdoorsy kid to live.

Doctors said that they think Trump’s mental health is in decline. It does not say he’s too old, just that he is unfit based on his behaviors.

There’s no double standard here, because the standard isn’t about age, it’s about mental health.

There most certainly is a Federation President. There is definitely government, authority, and laws, with Starfleet appearing to be the law enforcement.

I’m a Batman fan. I know it’s a boring answer these days, but I’ve always enjoyed the detective work and stealth approach to the fights.

I’m sure most people have heard all the reasons from other fans before, but I stand by them.

I want an instance already established, very populated, and proven to last long term, so I don’t have to create another account

Back to School, definitely. Well, not really badmouth, but I thought it was fairly mediocre.

But really I meant to praise his standup and say his movies didn’t do him justice. He was just funnier when doing his own material

Why is your title about the missing plane when the article is about the dead pilot?

His standup was definitely better than any of his movies
