Its crazy how facebook added something cool like heart/madface/puke/like/laughing variation but basically just used it for sentiment harvesting.
Its dumb, id be down for a sort by laughs, sort by likes, and only in my communities feature, shrug
Yeah but sorting by new is not a good experience either.
Letting the site choose what we see with an algorithm is also awful.
Not sure what the answer is.

Keep the system but hide the scores from users.
I wonder what the difference would be if we eliminated down votes?
You get YouTube where everyone likes everything and nothing is ever bad quality /s
There are some lemmy instances that have dine just that I believe! You could ask them
Yeah. Votes kind of suck. I have the arrows, but I only use them if someone’s really helpful, really rude, or their post is super useful, or egregiously bad. I sort everything by date, so people dog piling on someone won’t affect their post or comment’s standing in my feed.
Take the power back and do the same, if you can.
I agree but I down voted you for fun anyway
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
