Reddit changed their upvote algorithm which is why it looks so much lower than it really is.

They covered this years ago..

Once downvotes were disabled I stopped using votes altogether.

You can't only give us one option to voice preferences. Alternatively I could just comment on posts I don't like but that would be considered harassment, and honestly that's extremely petty..

Harsh words here, but if you're putting yourself out there and get emotional about getting downvoted, you should probably reevaluate your choices. Go on only fans, this isn't a safe space that should be tailored to your insecurities. Or go start your own community and stay out of the ones that show you that they don't want you posting there. Just saying.

I'm not against it in it's entirety partly because of the point you made, it is their company after all.

What I am against is the intent behind cutting employees.

First, it's just irresponsible to grow a company outside of what it can sustain. But in the end, the company survives and profits while the employee is now unemployed. The worker suffers because the top fucked up.

Second, corporate greed. It's fucking up people's lives for profit it technically doesn't need to continue to exist and be successful.

It's a human sacrifice to an entity that doesn't even exist.

Curious if anybody here tried these out. I got a 4 pack of some 5mg thc/cbd/cbg/cbc and had a few slowly a while back. But I never drank a full one in one sitting. A friend that put me on them said it only takes 15 minutes to kick in but I never tested it.

I'll vape some type 2 flower as a last resort sometimes for sleep (sometimes, other times it's a first choice for a fun time).

I've noticed that no matter what I felt from other substances before (i.e. alcohol, ambien, etc) once I feel the effects from vaping flower, all other feelings from those previous substances go away entirely.

I'm not a big fan of taking a bunch of different things but sometimes it is what it is.

Is this typical for those of you here?

It's word pad though, do you really ever use it? I use notepad for a quick temp fix in a pinch, I haven't used word pad in like 15 years.

Just a heads up about a different deadline for PACT Act benefits.

Until 11:59 p.m. local time Sept. 30, 2023, Veterans who deployed to a combat zone, never enrolled in VA health care, and left active duty between Sept. 11, 2001 and Oct. 1, 2013 are eligible to enroll directly in VA health care. This special enrollment period gives Veterans who served in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other combat zones an opportunity to enroll directly in VA health care without first applying for VA benefits.

This isn't a new thing, these services have been around for a long time. True people search blew it out of the water and it's free. I highly suggest submitting a data removal request to them if you live in the US.

You really don't think Linux has viruses? I'm confused by this post. Is it an excuse to shit on wine and windows?

I've noticed it and a friend I introduced to it has noticed it too. I don't recall ever having a hangover from combustion but it's been a while and maybe it's just part of getting old? Idk figured I'd ask because I'm confused by it.

I'm American and I've never heard this used.

But after thinking about it, gopher is a play on words that means "go for". So saying gopher John is like saying "go for John" and can be a greeting.

Is there a query or filter to view only NSFW posts? Sometimes I just want to see the good stuff only.

[-] [email protected] 34 points 11 months ago

The mainstream ones yeah. But that void will get filled with shady advertisers. It's gonna look like the daily mail on there lol

[-] [email protected] 29 points 11 months ago

Perfect thank you!

Do you guys need help dealing with the security side? I can help depending on the need.

For hours today, yesterday, and intermittently since I've been on here (a month or so) lemmy stops loading using jerboa, liftoff, and a web browser.

The site isn't listed on any down detector I know of, and each app gives different errors but ultimately just won't load.

It's often enough that recently when I consider jumping on here I just don't because there will probably be an issue. Ranging from not loading, JSON errors, or just blank screens and my comments not working..

What's going on? Is there a status page for these places?

I think that most folks use upvote/ downvote as an v agree/ disagree. But maybe there could be, in the long run, a place where other votes could be made. Dm it's more like a song quality system, maybe similar to customer support reviews you get agree after dealing with a customer support call .

I.e. rates under multiple fields like below:

  1. Votes for meeting community guideline
  2. Votes for quality of content posted
  3. Votes identifying spam or other third party links that draw users into other platforms (only fans for now, but could be more nefarious as it grows)
  4. Troll downvote 5.??

A weight system would have to back that up to be able to provide an overall vote/downvote.

I know it's overkill, but it's a random thought I had that will hopefully garnet enough attention to spark conversation some how this place can provide an abstraction and something different from what most of these platforms currently provide. It isn't insightful, we see up and down Votes but don't um understand the reasoning behind them.

Consider it a couch thought. Happy to have others chime in on the good and bad reasons for this to exist or get thrown in the thoughts can.

Pretty sure Im on lemmy.world so how do I notify the admin(s) or when are they going to upgrade?

Kinda odd they wouldn't have planned these upgrades together..

They implemented the version checking in the app so..

I posted similar over in cult of the thca, curious if anybody here has tried that strain before. I know it's more type 3 / hemp flower but the communities here are so small I'm gonna lump my type 2and 3 questions into these 2 communities.

Anyways, I got a cart with some gorilla cake resin and omg the flavor!! It's a low thca strain, cbd dominant all that jazz. But I just can't get over how absolutely delicious it is, but the end notes hit you hard with heavy strawberry banana flavors.

Is that typical of the strain? It almost feels like those were added under the guise of "look at all these terpenes" but since I've never tried the actual flower I have nothing to compare it to.

Sounds like a great opportunity to work together and with your powers combined create the first top tier user driven app.

I do some code stuffs myself and would gladly take a role in merging you guys together! Let the underdogs continue to thrive in the face of corporate power.
