I’ve been on lemmy for over a year now, and I just realized I used to read all those HackerNews articles + their comments, I haven’t done that in probably 6 months because the discussion here has gotten much better. What’s changed for you with Lemmy over the last year?

    Starting to see different people reposting stuff on similar communities, which reminds me a lot of that other site. Not a huge fan.

    I’ve also started noticing people downvoting instead of engaging when they disagree with something as well, which is frustrating.

      I wanted to let you know there is an option in your settings so you don’t see upvotes or downvotes.

      Lemmy (AFAIK) doesn’t even show you your total upvotes (karma… whatever it’s called) by default either. None of these imaginary points fucking matter.

      So why don’t you do yourself a favor and uncheck these boxes and not give a fuck what others think about your comment.

      I know I have.
