Hot take? Blue Sky should be worked with to join the Fediverse as the twitter alternative and Mastodon should work to be the Facebook alternative
??? Why should Mastodon become an entirely different kind of site when there’s already Facebook alternatives for the fediverse?
It’s a different blocking philosophy. Reddit used to work like Lemmy does, for example. The keyword here being “used to”. Here’s their announcement post from when they changed it.
I personally prefer this method of blocking, because you’re not a moderator or administrator and thus should not get to customize the experience of other users than yourself. Yes, there’s the legitimate use case of stopping mass downvoters. But two-way blocking can also be (and has been) used maliciously. You can slander someone and then block them, making them unable to defend themselves or even know what happened, for example.
Not on Lemmy itself, no, but other platforms on the fediverse might have one. Apps might have one.
Mbin has one for sure. So all you need to take a look at your karma is to hop over to fedia.io and look at your profile from there. Since my point is that practical use doesn’t matter to them and it’s just about numbers going up, I think this counts.
karma means nothing here
I mean, same is the case on Reddit, it’s useless internet points. Yet people still farm it like it’s the most important resource in their life.
I don’t think whether it has any practical worth or not matters to these people. It’s all about seeing numbers go up.
Are you sure about that?
