For me, they matter and don’t matter.
Opinion down voting brings useless negativity to Lemmy.
My own experience on Lemmy is that this has been happening more and more. It was not like that when the first Reddit migration happened. However, a year later and that kind of toxicity has started to arise.
It’s one of the reasons why I disabled the visibility of the votes. It also can manipulate on how someone thinks, if it For me, they matter and don’t matter.
Personally, besides the more technology knowledge on Lemmy… I find that Lemmy slowly but steadily adopts more and more Reddit behaviors in terms of user behavior.
I’m on an instance that does not support down votes. That means, if one disagrees, they need to use their brain and write a comment.
Honestly that sounds great. It means people usually have to actually write why they don’t agree.

I have always done that to people who are unfriendly towards me. It also gives them a notice that I won’t be replying to their unfriendly behavior.
Never used Twitter/X so I have no idea how it is on there.
Though, I wonder why do I need to explain my reason for announcing to block someone but someone else being unfriendly or having a toxic behavior seems to be okay and is not questioned. What other social media have you used in the past?
- Comment on People like this 2 days ago:
I assumed that moderators just ban people they do not like or at least remove comments. Blocking people that you do not like is helpful. Keeps your feed and comments section clean and brings less unfriendly behavior. I’m a huge fan of Lemmy’s blocking, it does not prevent the blocked person to comment but it does help the blocker to prevent seeing anything from the blocked person. Brings peace to both, one can simply comment and the other will not see it.

I do not know, you tell me? Anyway, it seems my particular comment got some people agitated. Did not expect to see people getting agitated over a single random comment and question.

I’m glad Lemmy allows infinite blocking users. So welcome to the blocklist, don’t want to see unfriendly and unnecessary behavior from new accounts.

Why do upvotes and downvotes matter? Is this a real question?
Yes, it is. Because on Lemmy, the down and upvote does not restrict your account (like how Reddit does it). From my understanding the upvote and downvote on Lemmy is more “upvote, so more users see it and downvote see it gets seen less”.
Which means if one person is trolling it and downvote but majority of users are upvoting it, it doesn’t matter much.
Reddit became the karma farming shithole it is because of their engagement algorithms.
That’s one of the many reasons.
Also, you don’t sound very friendly and since your account is about 5 days old. I’m very skeptical of your comment and behavior.
- Comment on People like this 3 days ago:
I don’t understand this post at all. Why does it matter what someone upvotes or downvotes? The upvote/downvote means literally nothing at all. Personally, even removed the ability to see the upvote/downvote thing on Lemmy with Mlem.
People place way to much sentiment on the whole up and downvote. That’s why Reddit just became a karmafarming place instead of actual (good) written conversation. Lets not do that with Lemmy. Also, this post could turn out quite bad and gets a unnecessary witch hunt started.

I don’t have enough political knowledge but, isn’t “comrade” usually related to communism?

Mainly for iPhone/ IOS but if it is possible to have it synch with Windows (PC) that would be a major advantage.

Poor Disney, we are sad for you /s. It sucks when the same things happens to you, right?

It just amazes me how to doing the Nazi salute, uniforms and speech’s are entirely okay now. However, being against it gets you banned.
The world has gone a full circle and we are back to the days were fascism, hatred and all that is okay. Unfortunately.

I’m sorry, I have to correct my own mistake. It was “Logan Paul” who did that. They (Jake and Logan Paul are brothers and I mixed them up). But yea, you are right though.
- Comment on Jake Paul's wiki page described him as a professional boxer instead of exhibitionist. 4 weeks ago:
I seriously dislike this guy and I have no idea why he has not been canceled. If I remember correctly, he recorded a person who took his own life in Japan’s known forest. His buddies and he giggled. No respect for the dead.
- Comment on Which of the two would you purchase for someone who’s not so technical? 5 weeks ago:
don’t worry about emulation? Just let her use it the way Gaben intended.
Well if you read the comments a bit , you would’ve read another comment of mine;
True, true but most games she likes are emulation. The Switch games, a PS2 game and Cemu (Zelda).
Anyway, my main intention was to get the Switch 2 so she could play Tears of the kingdom + Mario and Yoshi games that she likes.
- Comment on Which of the two would you purchase for someone who’s not so technical? 5 weeks ago:
Emulation ≠ Piracy (pirating ROMs is another story…)
Oh yeah, I know hah. But considering the instance I’m on, you can, I assume already know how I obtain most of the games.
But if you’re using EmuDeck, if you install it for her, it’s pretty simple after that - all the games just show up as games in Steam Library.
Yeah, I use EmuDeck on my own Deck but there are some hiccups when it comes to using the emulators thru Gaming Mode (bit of laggy, sometimes the games won’t start). Usually start the games through Desktop Mode. Did not manage to get the game to show up on the Steam Library, for some reason I just could not get that to work and due not enough time (work…) got a bit lazy and thought ‘never mind’ lol.

Has she tried playing on your steam deck?
Yeah, she plays a lot on it. But she usually wants me to turn on the games when it’s emulation.
She really likes how the Deck feels (ergonomically).

- Comment on Why do some people make such a big deal over ages of someone's account on here? 1 month ago:
Can’t speak for others but I take few day-old accounts and their opinions with a grain of salt. Often it happens that it is just a troll to bait other people.
- Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 2 months ago:
The hostility has been here for quite a while, though. When the migrating happened from Reddit to Lemmy it was all nice and cozy but after a year or so the hostility was already there. Very often people did not want to acknowledge this (and started to heavily downvote the particular comment stating this). Plus with what is happeneing in the world, the negativity from reality seeps into the digital world.
But anyway, the best thing to do is just block anyone who is hostile towards you for no actual reason. Has no point to put energy and/ or time in it.
- Comment on Updates that don't tell me what is being updated 2 months ago:
Wish we could upload videos, I recorded this exact same issue a few days ago with Spotify. I use a modded Spotify and curious to the updates. Thus I checked their App Store and this what’s been spammed on their App Store page;
“We are continuously busy making Spotify much better! Don’t want to miss anything? Make sure you have automatic updates on!”
- Comment on I finally decided to go full piracy against big companies 2 months ago:
Bit busy so can’t make a long comment. Just wanted to say, welcome to the ‘dark’ side. I highly recommend to check the instance in on for everything you need (Megathread). It tells you where to look, which safety measures to take etc.
I wanted to purchase Metaphor Refantzio because the game seems good and then figured out they blatantly said “you don’t own Metaphor even if you purchase it”. Thus decided to pirate it (it isn’t cracked but it is playable).
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 3 months ago:
Every single game that’s hard, gets the same “it’s so hard” complaint. Well of course it is, isn’t that one of the appeals of the game? Reminds me Sekiro when it got out.
Anyway, we both got our own opinions and that’s that. Lets agree to disagree, I suppose.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 3 months ago:
That’s alright too but every time there’s a hard game, it’s always the same old complaining. It’s tiresome.
Hollow Knight, the first game was hard too with some bosses.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 3 months ago:
People have nothing better to do than complain, I suppose. Don’t like the game? Don’t play it. The game is good, imo.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 15 minutes and counting now 3 months ago:
Yeah, I bought it the day after its release (today September 5th). Played about 1,5H (so glad I “work” from home).
- Comment on Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of August 31st 3 months ago:
I’m playing mixed games;

Mainly Mario kart though, chill to take your mind off after work (and when working at home, ha). Though, I’ll stop playing most of these games when Silksong gets released this Thursday.
