Why be so vague? That’s only ever going to frustrate people.

This is the first post I’ve seen where my app (Boost) has shown the vote score as simply: 1k
Congrats guys. Lemmy is growing
I did.
I also read a fair chunk of the article you linked and it didn’t change my view.
I disagree that employers fear litigation. Is there something else I missed?
It is very much true
From the link you provided:
This may come as a surprise to some: it is only after two years of continued service that employees have the right to request written reasons for their dismissal.
Employers don’t need to provide a reason for your dismissal.
There are some exceptions but they’re very specific and unlikely to relevant. If an employer wants rid of you they can do so at their whim.
Even if you think you have a case, good luck finding a solicitor who will take on your case. They simply won’t be interested because it’s not easy to win without the rights you get after 2 years employment.
I live in the UK where it’s practically impossible to get fired.
In the UK you only get employment protections after working at a company for two years. Up until then you can be fired without reason
It might a also be worth clarify that by Z they presumably mean UP because Godot, Unity, and Bevy all use Y as up.
Have you ever tried Rider? I found it such a pleasure to use in place of Visual Studio and I’ve never looked back.
Any times I’ve loaded VS since it just feels so slow in comparison.
You should check out Micro. It’s a slightly more sane alternative to nano:
Is it definitely the MP3 format at fault here? Was your MP3 from an official source or could it have been from a faulty source or improperly transcoded?
I’m fairly sure you’ve misunderstood what I was saying
I guess. I don’t get it.
This sums it up exactly!
You aren’t just downvoting comments you disagree with, you’re downvoting comments because you don’t understand them.
By downvoting instead of commenting you never open that discussion to learn about somebody’s view.
And by downvoting you’re reducing the chance that somebody else might see the comment. Who either does understand it, or responds to continue the discussion.
I completely agree, you’ve summed up my view far better than I could.
There’s also a controversial approach that if you’re debating with someone and you believe in the points you’re making then you should upvote even the comments you disagree.
By doing so the full thread of comments is ranked higher so more people see the incredibly clever points you’re articulating.
This isn’t so relevant on Lemmy right now because it’s still small so you might read all comments on ba post. But it made a massive difference on reddit where there were thousands of comments. So the algorithm becomes very selective.
That coalition would need a majority.
Apologies for not being specific. I was responding to the statement about even Reform not having enough votes for a majority. As you’ve pointed out what I meant to say was that:
No single party would need a majority. Instead they could form a majority in collaboration with other parties to form a coalition solely to enact electoral reform.
At present the Reform party are splitting the conservative vote, in fact I think they were polling above them recently. Reform claim to be in favour of Proportional Representation. If that’s true then there’s a legit possibility that a coalition could be formed between parties across the political spectrum to finally ditch FPTP.
It’s not harmless. They’re maliciously using downvotes and as a consequence lemmy’s algorithm will rank OPs content lower.
This isn’t a case of downvoting individual statements you disagree with, it’s harassment.
The mod took down my post without any comment, reply, or reason.
This is definitely enough reason to post in !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com
It also opens up an interesting debate about what is appropriate. While the mod action is understandable (they don’t want rival communities), it’s a bit of a misuse of mod tools to delete it in my opinion.
Then separately they’re harassing you by following you round downvoting everything you post. That’s the sign of somebody unhinged. They are able to compartmentalise actions that occur inside their community from the wider Lemmy.
That’s what the report and block tools are for.
If it occurs harassment is an issue for moderators and admins to deal with.
This is how you end up with echo chambers.
It’s fake internet points, the amount you have doesn’t matter in the slightest. There’s no reason not to downvote what you disagree with.
The amount on each individual comment does matter, as it affects how the algorithms order comments when showing them to other people.
You have no reason to so I presume you haven’t.
If we were actually in a discussion and you started downvoting all my comments I’d see it as a sign of pettiness and disengage.
I’d probably also tag you as a reminder to myself not to engage with you again.
This is precisely my reason for why they should be public.
In my view downvotes should be used sparingly, only to suppress spam and trolling comments that don’t add to the conversation.
By keeping votes private people just downvote anything they disagree with
That’s actually insane.
I wonder if they’ve just sent out a generic rejection without checking it.
