Interesting, thanks! It sounds like you could hide the ability to vote either way then on an instance’s frontend, but as you say, it wouldn’t really do much to address voting activity from either other frontends or instances.
I like to ask a variety of questions, sometimes silly, serious, and/or strange. Never asking in an attempt to pester or “just asking questions” stuff.
I’m generally curious and/or trying to get a sense of people’s views.

Yeah, that’s along the lines of what I’m asking about, albeit instead of a subscription check more like, I think, however the instances disabling/removing downvoting have done so, but adjusting the scope strictly to the Local or All views.
Another approach to addressing outsider/passive voting behaviors.
Thanks for some detail! What you describe reassures me in my decision not to get further into it, particularly as a professor path seemed one of few traditional options with what I studied.
Are doctorate/grad school programs distinctly competitive? My impression was that they were more challenging but similar in nature to undergrad insofar as loads of coursework to stay on top of to complete courses and ensure you got some of the most expensive, “You endured it!” paperwork in the world.
Is there an AcademicDictionary in the vein of Urban Dictionary for all the jargon and filler patterns?
And even though this is lemmy, when I searched for “Ubuntu Help”, there’s no community named that. There’s also no community named “Linux help”. Which I find very very odd. Lemmy of all places you’d think would have a linux help community!
Have you been by !linuxquestions@lemmy.zip yet? Nevertheless, this community should work just as well.
There’s also !linux4noobs@programming.dev or a community with the same name on Lemmy World. When specificity in a search fails, falling back to broader/more basic terms may help (e.g. searching for Ubuntu or Linux).
I think separating them improves the user experience for regular users, which I think counts as a real advantage. As I wrote in the body text:
As-is seeing an indication of a comment for a post only for it to turn out to be a bot is slightly disappointing at best, and mildly confusing at worst when their display has been disabled.
It’s a small detail, but small details add up when it comes to the user experience.
Isn’t this sort of a reframing of curiosity, or other basic characteristics of an active mind, such as receptivity? Mental adaptability may also fit neatly here.
The bees will be pleased!
Was it a matter of some good timing that these casts were able to be made? That is, with enough time, wouldn’t the voids/cavities themselves likely collapse with the gradual shifting of the soil?
How many litres/gallons would you guess at this amounting to?
Tbh I didn’t mean to Lemmy, so much as simply off Twitter in general, preferably to a non-corporate social site. It may be naive/idealistic, but I think those most inclined to leave would be the better of the bunch, and those in-between are more apt to go to another corporate site anyway (e.g. Threads).
Do the add-ons you use specifically target Facebook? If so, what are you using to mitigate its manipulative/predatory designs?
How might we help and encourage people to leave Twitter?
Do people think it’s a good thing, or simply the thing where those they know are?
…Does anyone have data on how many people still use checks?
Fairly certain, as I hadn’t downloaded anything on my phone when away from my PC that would have produced a notification to mirror. Also, sorry, I should have mentioned from the start that I typically run my phone in Do Not Disturb and Silent to minimize any notifications whatsoever.
On further digging I did notice that it looks as though the files mentioned in the notifications may have been downloads, but from literally years ago in, I think, every case (e.g. from 2018!). I don’t think I even had Connect installed back then to have caught those notifications. 🤨
Isn’t this simply a contrivance to uphold a questionable system?
I just hope this pointless move won’t bring down the wayback machine.
What was the pointless move you’re referring to?
Thanks for the heads-up on this! Didn’t realize that was in the works
