I’ll be honest, props on you for at least opening up the possibility of discussion. It will be interesting to see how long you allow this to happen because I’ve found the overwhelming majority of reddit groups or facebook pages that lean to the right will ban people at the absolute first sign that someone isn’t on their side. I literally got banned from /r/conservative for saying I didn’t think the Babylon Bee was funny. Thus it’s usually next to impossible to have a legitimate discussion with people even if that is your goal. For all the whining that right wingers do about safe spaces, y’all sure do love to ban people to keep your echo chamber silent from anything that isn’t what you want to hear.
I don’t particularly have any questions at the moment, but I will keep an eye on this community. I’m sure I’ll quickly get labeled as a “leftist troll” if I post too much here, but I am interested to see how if this community is any different from just about every other right wing group I’ve seen on the internet thus far.
Not everyone on the left agrees on every issue. Clearly this person isn’t in their right mind, and I think the vast majority of the left would agree with that.
By the “logic” you’re using I could easily say “if you’re right wing you are a member of the KKK because enabler”
It’s a pretty well established anecdote that most of the time a McDonalds tells you the ice cream machine is broken, it’s because they’ve already cleaned it for the night and if they use it again they’ll need to reclean it. It’s easier to say it’s broken rather than make one dessert and then have to reclean it all over again.
Ok, nevermind, I think I figured out what’s going on. And discovered another strange issue that may or may not need looking into if possible. Turns out, the comment I made was in a shitpost community that I used Memmy to block. So now it doesn’t just block the posts from that community from being shown in my all feed, it actually blocks any comments, and posts that were made in that community from being shown to me across all of wefwef. This…isn’t really what I expected the block feature to do. I’m not sure that I love that, but I guess it’s fine. I know when you blocked a subreddit on Apollo it only stopped posts from that sub from showing up in your feed, but you could still see comments when you clicked on people’s profiles. I would prefer that to be how this works, but I guess since I didn’t even block the community using wefwef, this is just a limitation of how blocking on Lemmy works as a whole? Interesting.
Community block when?
Yeah, it was right for a while on mine, then not so much, now it looks like it’s right again, or close to it at least. I am trying out Memmy now, and it also shows a total score. Looks like it shows both upvotes and downvotes too, which will probably drive a lot of people insane.
Except for there is. It’s just most apps don’t allow you to easily see it, but some (wefwef in particular) do.
It does keep track, but not all apps display it. Several do, the one I use, wefwef, does so I assumed they all did, but that’s not the case.
I just read in another thread that the scores are only visible in some apps, but not others. I have only been using wefwef, and it’s visible there(although supposedly not correctly), but I guess not everywhere so most people seem to think the scores don’t exist.
It’s wonky, but that’s kind of part of the charm, I guess.
I noticed when I had made 4 comments, it correctly displayed the total of all my scores, which I think was like 12 at the time, but now that I’ve made a few more, that add up to like 20 something it says my total is 8.
Maybe it’s just really shit at math?
Many is not all. And by creating an us vs them mentality where I’m “us” for the most part, but not for the whole part, there’s situations where the need to choose is being presented. It’s gatekeeping for the sake of gatekeeping, and really isn’t part of a healthy community of people.
