  • Thats what I kind of mean. some folks vote on everything. some don’t vote on anything. some are very specific and thoughtful in their voting and some have default voting things. I have been both. I don’t view voting information as at all useful in a community type of way. Now make it scarce and maybe. Like every day your get one up or down vote that will expire in a week or something. Thing about that kind of thing though is it encourages folks who like to manipulate to make a bunch of accounts. I could totally see cm0002 going through all his accounts to downvote things on lemmy.ml. I just don’t think its very useful unless as a feature for accounts locally.




  • I mean no one should feel its wrong to feel some way. I mean as long as your feelings are not leading to hurting people or something. We are all different and you know we very different with out things. I had very few relationships before marriage so there is a bit more intentionality and significance to them. I had friends who started dating in high school and heck maybe junior high and grade school and almost was always in one. These are like the hey do you want to be my girlfriend/boyfriend, ok. type thing. So I really think its going to depend on the individual. Im one of those people who think its good to feel sad sometimes and thats ok but its also good to feel good or excited. I do think I would feel sadder knowing someone I had been in a realtionship was not sad though. Then I would be wondering if I was bad.



  • I mean first? Generally pretty sad but most did not even go very long or very far. I was pretty nerdy but I did some dating in high school so. Even after that. I mean I broke up with some and it was still sad. You want(ed) it to work. I can’t see a scenario where I would decide to be in a relationship and not be sad when it ended. That said you can also be excited to be out and about looking although I find I need time before that happens.






  • I don’t even get why someone would want to vote on things especially with no real perspective like you describe. default donwn??? I upvote everything now but that is because of a quirk with a setting where I tell it not to show me things I have viewed or interacted with so upvoting removes stuff im not interested in. Previously I rarely if ever voted for something up or down and usualy only neder extreme circumstance. ie omg this is so aweful I need to do the community a service and down vote it or this is so great everyone really needs to see this. I personally don’t really like community voting because everyone does it so many different ways its a useless metric. I would love rating to be used in a basic algorithmic view that only takes into account the ratings you give. trustcafe does this where verything can be rated (posts, users, comments, communities, domains, etc) and defaults to a value of 50 that the user can change to between 0 and 100. So like rather than blocking someone I can be like. This person is annoying but they are a real person (I think) and I don’t want to totally discount them so I will drop them to 25 so their things go twice as far down my feed but then this other person I really jive with so I will rank them 75 so their stuff will be bumped up higher.
