You may THINK there's no karma, but then one day....
It would be nice if we could create post/communities that only sort comments on recency. I never did like the whole reddit upvote downvote button for comments.
aa
In the menu below the post, click on 'New'.
I don't think there is a way on Jeroba?
Upvote and downvote is a great system provided it shows both and doesnt reduce it to positive or negative only.
The system is meant to show good content from bad content, by showing the total amount of up and down votes. Reddit got rid of that system years ago and just showed the sum of votes which is where the "hive mind" mentality came from. Used to be you'd see a post with dozens of upvotes and downvotes and it would tell you that the content itself was usually of high quality, it was just a controversial take. If a post had 450 downvotes and 400 upvotes you'd know they were speaking for about half of the site, whereas if it only shows "-50" you'd think they are a huge minority.
As long as karma doesn't exist and the total amount of all votes are displayed, I think it's a far better system than just showing every comment based on it being recently posted. If we did that you'd have spam everywhere and you would have to dig through a dozen low effort comments to get the best engagement.
Any chance we will ever see a minimalist icon for the fediverse? xd
me watching too much Supernatural: I hope the pentagram is made of colored salt and there's no draft or wind
That's how you know it's better
Everything’s better with a pentagram!
Fantastic!
I never even noticed. Brilliant decision.
But there is karma?
How long will it remain that way? I’m sure operating costs will eventually require introducing ads into the mix, or is there some sort of structural safeguard that prevents ads from eventually showing up?
