Lots of people seem to be using it fine daily
Maybe you need to switch distro and check your hardware
Or if you’re getting lots of crashes, contribute code or money to get them addressed. Otherwise it’s clear your priorities aren’t straight

Yeah. Last thing I want is to deal with all the anti-environment, anti-EV pro-extremist right wing toxic-macho shit bots.
Quality, not quantity. With too many people, moderation begins to fail
Developers in general also get treated like crap by the community too.
I used to be passionate about open source and relessed a project. But I dropped it because there were a few vocal trolls in the community tore into me.
And there are so many developers which probably have a similar issue.
The biggest enemy to the success of Linux isn’t actually Microsoft or Apple, but potentially the Linux community itself
It no longer works properly for me and no longer loads on my diy steam machine. Is this what your referring to?
Yes, bias is a thing. Ever hear of the placebo effect? It gives people a bias before clicking the link.
In fact, showing rankings actually makes it easier for bots because of that bias, they just randomly click stuff to appear neutral, and upvote their target posts, which when they say +1.4k, you’ll be biased into thinking it’s a popular opinion. Hence why hiding them by default actually maybe has benefits. There are no advantages to seeing the votes other than abuse. Name some.
As you said, they’re already accessible, so there is no point of bloating the code. Let’s not make them even more so and encourage abuse.
What problem is being solved here by doing this?
My implementation would be hide it from the UI by default for instances
Also, never said unranked… I meant simply hide the rankings. Part of the disadvantage of showing the totals on the UI means that high upvotes make it seem like it was highly popular. It also means that people don’t mindlessly upvote posts simply because there were a lot of upvotes. By hiding them, you know its popular, but no how popular. It changes the way people interact so it’s more normal.
Showing Upvotes/downvotes doesn’t show whether they are bots are not. It just means they’ll upvote/downvote more random shit and mess around wit the rest of the posts, so more crap rises to the top because they’re interfering with the rankings.
There are easier ways to identify bots… And, it just aids abusive people. I don’t think it will assist with bots at all… Sorry.
Problem is, it actually encourages a hive mind. I’ve already had 2 people try to bully me.
I’d go one step further. Upvotes down votes and totals should be hidden entirely. This would encourage people to post based on their own without external influence It reduces the incentive to use bots
Already had one person today mention my down votes .
It didn’t validate their argument at all and without context it can be interpreted in any fashion to make it seem malicious
Hell nah. Give it a go.
I started a Meetup group a few years ago as a hobby despite no formal training. My group has now outlived many others and I’m surprised by how many people I meet on hikes who have heard of my group and actually listen to my advice these days.
Don’t forget about the guy either who ran an ultra marathon with no real training here in Australia and ended up winning . Turned out his goofy style of running was actually more efficient than normal jogging.
I know someone who is the world record holder for highest gym class She absolutely deserved it. She’s not nims, but she gave it a shot
I know a lady with Parkinson’s who is a cross fit champ. People like you would tell her she should give up
As long as you’re safe and not a danger to others, definitely give things a shot.
In my case, I went to the biggest one after leaving beehaw.
I left beehaw because it was clear there was a double standard for one admin between minorities and the rest of us where an admin overlooked someone from a minority acting like a total ass and starting a fight… and blamed me simply because my opinion half agreed with an article that was posted.
Which was such a pity because they other admin there is awesome (and I loved the idea of the instance), but I’m worried it will become a echo chamber eventually unfortunately where you simply can’t discuss things, but only agree with people
It was all good and well until my mate who was hosting the server kept using bots and was telefragging everyone.
But this game was amazing when it was first released
Just to play devils advocate though… awesome people and awesome country.
I’ve always wondered if I’d rather live there and be poor honestly than live here in Australia (which is basically at least 50% redneck at this point)
Anyone else sick of hearing about this?
I don’t care about the person who said it (no idea why she’s constantly getting interviewed and such), and it was only slightly funny to begin with.
At least she gave things a try, unlike most people
Raise your hands if you’ve been in the Olympics…
Me and my mates so stupid stuff all the time just to mess around… It’s better to try something and fail then not try at all. And she’ll have a great pub story
They’ve also started using a lot of channel names which are totally unrelated to politics. No huge surprise of course that it’s the right wing doing stuff like this…
You again eh.
The guy who wants people to vote for Trump…
Again, I don’t think anyone wants the Israel war
But, Trump is so much worse. It’s not even a comparison at this time.
Trump is literally raping women. And at this time, that’s the least of what he’s done
But I suspect you’re taking this approach because you know directly telling people to vote for Trump will get you down votes, but if people check your history, it’s clear that’s what you want…
Pretty much. It wouldn’t surprise me if long term Elon tries to run for office too as a right wing candidate now that Trump has shown to him that you can abuse the office for unethical reasons.
As his business drops, it will increasingly become profitable for him to push for no workers rights and increasingly worse consumer rights
I love that he managed to help push EVs mainstream, but he’s now a detriment
Yep… People use Tesla as an example of EVs failing
It’s not falling because of EVs, it’s falling because the guy running it is so dodgy that consumers can’t be sure they’re not going to fuck things up in the future.
It also doesn’t help that Elon lies about things he doesn’t need to (even stupid things like calling the cave diver a pedo) and that makes potential consumers wonder what else he’s lying about.
Jokes on them. Facebook in Australia is an absolute cesspool.
And nobody from Facebook is doing anything with the reports
So, the only application for this data is to build a bot which acts like an asshole and make photos of cars which assholes own.
