I don’t understand why people get angry enough at this to down vote it

it’s not about anger, the point of downvoting is to put low effort or other random crap posts below any others that may actually contribute to the topic.
atrielienz@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
That doesn’t work for me on Lemmy because in the app I use it doesn’t sort comments that way. So I see the comments basically newest first. This is reddit behavior is what it is.

Your app should have a button to change the comment sort. I use Boost and it does.
acosmichippo@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
if that was the intended layout of lemmy comments they wouldn’t have vote buttons at all.

Lol at all the down votes… people could also have not engaged with your post… but apparently there is a right way to use your posting privileges and you broke the law.

There is a save button.
TowardsTheFuture@lemmy.zip 5 weeks ago
Yeah but I don’t ever use or look at that. Honestly, almost never go to look for shit later on here, so not a habit I have. So if I did save it, I wouldn’t see it til like 6 months from now and I’d probably just go… why the fuck is this saved? And delete it.

There are also things called elephant trails.
People commenting to be able to easily come back to the topic are creating an elephant trail, which will exist regardless of the UI designer, if the software allows people to do it.

Except that the “ui designer” of most (all?) of the lemmy themes and apps have support for saved comments.
So no, it is just people being stupid and not understanding how websites work.

You can fight the elephant trails, or accept them being there. Your choice.

Sometimes the save button doesn’t give you context for why you saved it and it’s not something you check everyday.
