Yes. Might as well go back to reddit then going to another centralized platform.

Why does discord look like a mess. I just can’t get into it. The UI/UX seems off.

Yes. That’s what I see. I had no idea it wasnt upvote/downvote as I use jerboa.

So the escalation arrows just push a comment to the top?

Exactly. I use both along with macOS, Windows, Linux. All have their pros and cons and all work well. Most of the rant comments are just BS.

What the fuck is up with all the posts about shit and shiting in Lemmy lately? Is there some inside joke I am missing or is this an attempt to flood the site with low quality content?

Yes, many South Pacific nations will be gone by then due to sea level rising.

Imagine road rage.

Absolutely a good point. Californians get fucked in senate voting power compared to some dickhead religious voter from a small red state. It’s a travesty that California and New York have the same amount of Senate representation as North and South Dakota.

Then you have lifetime judicial appointments. Trumpf was able to get 3 Supreme Court judges in during his 4 years. The impact will last a generation or two at least.

The corruption at the highest levels is open and astounding. PACs can basically buy elections. Insider trading is also normalized in Congress by both sides.

Religious fundamentalists have infiltrated all levels of government and are pushing for a Christian Theocracy. Very similar to what is happening in India. Religion has NO place in politics.

The US is not a good example of a democracy. There are Conservative Republicans (far right), Maga Republicans (Fascist) and Democrats (Center right). Nothing much in between as the system is designed for only 2 parties.

Also, when was the last time a republican won the popular vote? This is proof enough the US is a poor democracy as the will of the people is ignored because of the electoral college.

What? I see and use upvote and downvote buttons in Jerboa. In fact I just updated your comment.

Thanks for your answer it clears it up.

So theoretically it seems like someone could create an app which “marries” mastodon content with Lemmy.

This will really legitimize and mainstream the platform!

I am a Boost for Reddit User, but have seen Sync and it is well designed. Jerboa is cool but it is not there yet. The experience the dev from Sync brings to Lemmy will be amazing.

Not asking for features but would be good if kbin is included with it so that user fragmentation is limited. I still don’t really understand the difference with Lemmy but it’s cool.

Yep. It’s just stupidity especially now. I don’t understand why someone would stay there and not go back to reddit for a walled garden experience?

Yes excellent work explaining how this all works. This fragmentation is what I feared as it will cause users to get frustrated, give up and leave these communities.

Ooh show me your kernel.

The Black is amazing. Comparable to Boost.

The way this is successful is if someone develops a way for the 3rd party clients (such as a proxy) to switch to this system instead. Also a way to easily register.
