Let us know what you go with!

Thanks, have updated my link.

Link for kbin/mbin

downvotes go everywhere

Unless you’re in kbin.social, which doesn’t federate downvotes.

That said it’s still handy for other kbin users and a good indication that it’s been reported already.

@ernest actually fixed this at one point but it broke again with the big changes last month. I’m thinking he will fix it again sooner or later.

Over the years, the “High Chaparral” torrent achieved cult status among a small group of people who likely keep sharing it, simply because it’s the oldest surviving torrent.

@shaked_coffee I made an account there and followed a bunch of people, but the federation aspect feels faux to me.

My profile there is basically just a redirect.

Extradite them.

Oh wait…

I saw the word “survive” and for a second I thought we were talking about Threads, the postapocalyptic movie that scarred a generation.

I need more coffee.

You’re on kbin though, which doesn’t federate downvotes.

@Fitik yes, but I did. There is something about kbin commenting that must strip it out again so that if you are on another instance it doesn’t link right. I had the same problem with your link that you have for mine.

I typed @mike@flipboard.com

At mike at flipboard dot com

@Gamers_Mate that works for me too but it’s because we’re both on kbin.social specifically.

@Fitik I think you and I are having the same problem with each other’s link?

Your link took me to an empty profile on kbin, did mine take you to one on fedia.io?

What I typed was @mike@flipboard.com

Thanks, that didn’t work for me. Try @mike

@DeepFriedDresden Kissinger also approved the genocide of Timorese and Chinese in East Timor, helped cover it up, and provided weaponry.

Despite being ethnically Jewish, Kissinger was known to be pretty antisemitic and was sometimes called out for it by Jewish people.

This is just Downpunxx’s latest copypasta though. He has been posting it all over the place since Kissinger died.

@limelight79 that does sound like vote-to-disagree. I’m with you there, I don’t like it. Downvotes should be reserved for things that don’t contribute, like trolling and racism etc.

I also think it’s incredibly rude if two people are having an amicable discussion and one downvotes the other one. It’s like trying to punish them.

On kbin, votes are not anonymous, which has had the effect of making people downvote more sparingly. (Also, although we don’t federate downvotes from other instances so we can only see downvotes from kbiners, it also means our downvotes on other instances are pointless).

@tigeruppercut thanks. That was underwhelming. I don’t know why they post it so often!

@limelight79

There’s definitely a “downvote if you disagree” ethos here.

Is there? That’s a shame.

I’m on kbin and we don’t federate downvotes so I don’t see any of the downvotes the lemmings are giving to each other (or to me for that matter). Last time I hit “view on original instance” on lemmy.world I thought they might be developing that culture but I didn’t realize it has become rife across the Lemmys.

@setsneedtofeed this! We are building something here. Not sure where you post but I’m adding you to my follows so I’ll see your OC.
