  • It's supposed to be that way, but Lemmy doesn't always follow that system.

    I'm fine with or without a voting system. It does seem to me that the instances which don't allow downvotes seem a little bit better behaved though.

  • What are you talking about? Was that reply meant for someone else? I didn't bring anything up about donald musk or astroturing. I saw a discussion and posted a comment about up/down votes. Not sure what you are talking about.

  • There are also some sensitive users who just go thru and downvote everything a poster posts, just because they have a personal grudge with poster.

    Plenty of people on Lemmy agree that serial downvoters being banned from a community isn't a bad thing.

    If one doesn't like a community, they can always just block it, rather than make it a mission to downvote every single thing in that community. IMHO, some people take lemmy way too seriously and get kinda unhealthy about it.

    Like anything, a system can be used for good or used for bad.

  • Very much so. Lots of people here on Lemmy have no clue either, and this is supposed be an educated tech crowd. lol

  • Oh, I think they are doing way more than spam. If you think that it's just equivalent of spam mail, well then they are clapping their hands that you think that. Dig deeper, comrade.

  • Love your passion, but I can't back ya on that one. I think animal trials are the way to go for now. I just wish the process was faster and more efficient.

  • Scientists reverse kidney damage in mice, hope for humans next

    Jump

  • Um... animal testing happens before human trials. That's how science does.

    But to your point, I do hope this is safe, and successful human trials start soon. This would be a huge game changer.
