Hmm, interesting. Where are you from?

Exactly. I’m a mod in a few subreddits, the biggest of which is /r/Showerthoughts. People don’t notice our existence unless we interact with them directly, and you rarely interact with users unless to ban them or to remove their content. So it is expected to be hated.

Counting Android is just lying. ChromeOS and WSL are a stretch, but you can make an argument for them.

Check the post date.

I posted this 2 years ago.

Yeah I posted this 2 years ago. The way “Active” sorting works in Lemmy, is you see the posts with recent comments. Someone commented on this, pushing it back to the front page.

HackerNews has an interesting approach: You can’t downvote comments unless you reach a certain amount of “Karma”, and you can’t downvote posts at all, you can “flag” them, meaning you think they don’t belong here. Flagging doesn’t affect the vote count, but massive flagging does make the post appear lower in the feed, and alerts mods.

This, alongside the tight moderation and zero-tolerance towards flame wars in the comments makes HackerNews one of the best places on the internet imho.

Same. For me, upvote = adding something to the conversation. That’s why I upvote most comments I come across, and rarely downvote people.

Comparing iPhone to “Android” isn’t fair, because people conveniently compare it to the lowest end. Compare the iPhone 14 Pro Max to the S23 Ultra for example, a phone from a respected company at the same price range. And it isn’t “luck”. Just a quick Google search will give you the high-end Android devices currently.

I feel that should change, but thanks for answering.

Just five? I’m pretty sure the NSA had access to all their messages since at least 2001.

Wow, you need to chill.

This isn’t kink shaming. No one has a “kink” to cum in a sock.

Forgot the /s?
