just another dev

Honestly, shit like this is why I set up my own lemmy instance where down votes are disabled. It’s built in configuration option, but very, very few instances have it set.

In practice it works pretty well. Popular stuff rises faster than unpopular stuff, but people don’t get shit on for valid but unpopular opinions. It also means you can’t down vote yourself, but the counter to that is to just up vote other things. So much less toxicity and more positivity - I can really recommend it.

Thank you! (sincerely)

I like the image of a parade of glasses marching down the marketing isle, playing all kinds of different instruments, much more pleasing.

Don’t forget the dictionary quotes and the personal attacks.

For what it’s worth, I thought it was an interesting read until the other person went full ad hominem.

The very first GTA was promoted through “outrage” that they stirred up themselves. I trust their marketing department about as far as I can throw them.
