MODERATORS
Just like on Reddit, I don’t care. As long as it’s not tied to my ability to interact with the community then let them have their silly internet points.
But it influences the community itself, doesn't it? If you have a bunch of parrots saying what they think others want to hear suddenly you have a lot less real interactions and way more "reddit moments"... I like how mastodon did it and maybe lemmy should also provide the option to hide likes/dislikes alltogether.
And the window of correct opinion keeps getting narrower. Any time there's a chance to gatekeep morality, someone out there wants to prove they're the most .
On any of the popular subs, no one's going to read your comment in good faith. They'll see what they wanted you to say and just reply to that.
That is a great point. I definitely don’t enjoy the “hive mind.”
One annoying thing on some subreddits was moderators auto-removing your posts unless you had a certain amount of karma.
The throttles are really useful. But I agree on the first post and the removals.
