I pretty much upvote anything I see unless it's one of the bad points you mentioned, and a funny side effect is that I can see what I haven't read yet because it hasn't been upvoted/downvoted.

I think this is just a case of the rule of 1% not applying here, but the small wholesome environment definitely helps.

On reddit I don't downvote users unless someone is purposely saying something hateful, but I downvote all the ads. It doesn't do much, but it does something and is a little cathartic.

I hope this doesn't go away if lemmy explodes in popularity, it's definitely one of my favorite parts of the platform.

Based answer. Tankies aren't welcome.

Yikes.

I think this all just goes to show that there is no "hivemind" here. Nobody is getting mass downvoted, but because it's a small community, the rule of 1% doesn't apply and there's therefore no bad content to be buried.

That is the case in reddit, but here people tend to stick to the topic of communities, and even if someone posts something that doesn't fit in, our communities are small and a little bit of off-topic posting doesn't hurt anyone.

I just hope someone will tell us what's up. The page didn't load, but the tab image has some soviet iconography, that coupled with the name is giving me an idea as to what's up.

I don't know, but I tried to access it and got an error 404. We can't find out why it was blocked because it was blocked.

Because it's blocked we can't go over and see what's up lol

What's lemmygrad?

Also, the small communities are nice, I feel like that definitely adds to the feeling of the place being run by us. Reddit also has a habit of being cynical and uncaring, as well as having the whole "hivemind" phenomenon, whereas this feels like a cozy and wholesome corner of the internet.

Oh nice! I'm in the wizardposting community, some freedom of information communities, fuckcars, programmerhumour, the general chat one, and a couple of others.

The downvotes are red? I didn't even notice!

Which communities do you visit the most?

There's really no reason to downvote in the kind of environment that Lemmy has created! Everyone is respectful and kind and every post is so wholesome!

I don't have many shows/movies, but I have a lot of books, memes, and offline games. I'd give myself a few months, maybe a year if I'm lucky.

When you're told you're not doing good enough, so you show them what not good enough really means.

Why am I in every square except blue simultaneously?
