Paywalled.

On a different subject, why would someone downvote a one-word comment that accurately describes what the content is behind?

[-] stoly@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

There are people who are pathologically contrarian. I’ve had to end a friendship over it—the endless need to say something negative about literally everything that ever happens and an unwillingness to be charitable to others.

Because some of us have fat fingers and accidentally downvote when we scroll on mobile.

One of the things I liked about reddit was that, since it saved downvoted posts, I could go through the list every once in a while and undownvote the accidents.

Can't do that here though, and I sometimes notice posts or comments I've accidentally downvoted.

Anyway, people shouldn't care so much, we don't have a karma system or the like here anyways, so why does it matter?

Well, only speaking for myself, I don't care, it just seemed so weird since it was an accurate single word, so I was curious.

I also wonder sometimes if it's a bot system purposely trying to force engagement.

Lol trust me, I get downvotes all the time for things I say here on Lemmy. If I let them bother me I'd be in the psychiatric system by now.

What client are you using? I can browse both upvoted and downvoted comments in Voyager

I'm using eternity, which hasn't received any updates, on my phone, and the default lemmy web interface on my computer.

Maybe I need to try some other options.

I have the theory that archive.is, waybackmachine and 12ft.io are no secret anymore, and that just posting "paywalled" comes across as too lazy to copy/paste or (a lot easier) to use this addon to reduce the work to a click. i dont mind, but i can understand why others might see it that way

Blaming the victim, and justifying paywalls.

My phone browser doesn't use add-ons.

i dont mind

And yet, you took the time out to reply, to chastise me for saying it.

sheesh, you are quite aggressive, i did not want to offend. and as i said, i don't mind it, i even posted the archivelink, for which you thanked me. check your target before firing, mate :-)

(also, theres always firefox mobile. can apple users use it with addons/firefox browser engine now? i don't follow apple development actively)

[-] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Reddit 1.3 is just like that.

[-] CosmicCleric@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Doesn't answer my question though.
