They are new comments. If you see any comment which look “more” highlighted (e.g. yellow background) and is pinned to the top of the post, then it is a distinguished comment by a moderator.

Good so. We need to get repos out of Microsoft’s hands.

ok ok I admit defeat. Downvotes were not meant to be a “dislike” button.

You can’t fix this because this is how the fediverse is designed to be. Multicommunities might be a thing in the future which might solve this “issue” of yours visually: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/818

GNU Taler might be an option in the future if the EU selects it for the digital euro:

I actually meant that they could have created it on their own instance because LW already has a lot of communities. I actively discourage people from signing up on LW because it’s too big, which could hurt the decentralization model someday.

I mean, the Lemmy docs state that the upvote button can be used when you like something. So downvote must be when you dislike something: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/03-votes-and-ranking.html

If not, then they simply aren’t being used like they are supposed to be ¯_(ツ)_/¯

yeah pretty much

Definitely.

Never seen that before. It’s called a “downvote” button for a reason, so I am not sure why anyone would think that it is supposed to mean something else than “dislike”.

It’s basically a dislike button on here if I’m honest.

What else was it supposed to mean?

Oh yeah sorry I didn’t see that part.

You could have just made them in your instance lemmings.world. Why bother with LW?

Btw you mentioned a bot generating content, can you at least mark the bot account as a bot? This can be done through account settings.

Done.

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX LINUX, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

that’s me whenever I see someone using <insert proprietary lemmy client here>

I agree. And Forgejo (the software that powers Codeberg) is getting federation with the ActivityPub protocol (which made the Fediverse possible) in the future.

Because people have different tastes. Be glad you have choices.

Edit: It is not complicated. Setting up Tesseract for my instance was very easy (one new podman container and a change in the caddy config). Some instances might offer less frontend options most likely because hosting something costs money and requires extra maintenance so they don’t want to host something that they think people won’t use.

I can confirm @[email protected] is an alt of @[email protected]. Though @[email protected] was the one that removed her from the moderation team and then appointed her back 3 hours later.
