Yes!! I second this.
Nearly everything that new reddit does. Tracking, huge ads, going closed source, removing dowvotes, vote fuzzing, tons of paid flairs, trying to integrate cryptos ...
Oh, oh, don't forget forcing an account to read.
That is just horrible.
Yeah new reddit is so awful it really seems necessary to re-implement the simplicity that was old reddit
Do not forget being a tool of USA MIC ;)
karma. one reason we have so much high-quality content here is because there's no incentive to gain upvotes. upvotes aren't displayed on your profile and no communities are locked to people below a certain upvote count. if karma were added to Lemmy, we'd get a lot of pandering to the lowest common denominator and the entire community would become stratified
Lemmy originally did have karma (i think we called it something else), but it was removed because it's parasitic, so you don't need to be afraid of that one coming back.
This, so much of what's wrong with reddit is the obsession with making internet number go up.
Well I still smile at night thinking about the upvotes I got.
the two big things that would make me less as enthused about Lemmy, would be the removal of downvotes and making votes transparent (i.e. showing people who voted, and what they voted).
Both interesting ideas, though
Real name policy (goverment issued ID and such stuff).
"Follow us on Facebook and Twitter"
Excellent question. I think a Hexbear-like abandonment of federating functionality Because Reasons. Federating is at the heart and soul of everything as far as I'm concerned, so that is make or break for me.
And maybe, if it just became a really shallow low effort community. I decided I had enough of Tildes when a commenter there confidently explained and debated at length that MLK jr. would have been a "moderate" in the modern politics sense.
That development gets inflexible to support OpenRC and Apache HTTPD by making it dependent of specific features of systemd and Nginx.
Real name policy (goverment issued ID and such stuff).
Being forced to see total number of up and down votes
Honestly I'm getting quite sick of the number buttons all over the screen already. If Lemmy keeps cluttering the UI under the fallacy where it's still comprehensive to the devs who have been here for months I'm gonna jump ship.
I don't really know what you mean? I never used Lemmy up until like yesterday and it was all intuitive to me.
