you'll have to translate 15 strings of kbin.pub? 😉 https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/2428/kbin-Translations
so let's change that! 🤗
you do you, but I'm reluctant of building a community where the majority decide what's popular or unpopular with such behaviour. I'm more inclined to design and act for inclusivity.
this is exactly what I wish we don't bring from reddit.
the cornerstone of democracy is education.
up vote and down vote is not mandatory.
well taking up the whole thread is not an issue or is it? I quite enjoy talking with you to be honnest.
but your right, I understand that you don't want to reply to all my silly post. but I'm my book, you could have just ignored them and do nothing.
that's what I do when I see something that I don't agree with or don't like. either reply or ignore. I'll downvote only at the last recourse.
but I understand that we don't share the same value as what downvoting mean, and I'm ok with that. I just wish that this place will be build on the fediverse values from now on.
totally. maybe I'm really naive to think that we can all agree to keep "fediverse etiquette" around here. or just any etiquette at all.
we will see.
that being said I really enjoy exchanging about this with everyone involved so far.
thanks for clarifying it then. why not go this direction. but I think that you are wrong to assume how determined the behaviour from users gonna be.
it's up to us to decide. maybe through UI design choice tho.
of course. but it's not mandatory to use them lightly.
for me it's a really powerful statement.
because we are building something new here and we don't need to keep this "always been used as" policy. it's up to us to choose how it's gonna be used in here.
I don't know if you were on mastodon when the twitter migration happened. the people from twitter embraced the fediverse values, and most didn't fight to bring the twitter behaviour into it. it's refreshing for everyone and it can be a safe and welcoming place.
not everything is perfect, far from it, but we can try to make it better.
in kbin, boosts and upvotes are like boosts and favorites in mastodon/calckey. but in here, boosts also ranking up the thread in the top category.
the reputation point is broken tho, because the mechanism behind boost and upvote have been modified/switched a few days ago, but the reputation point code not updated yet.
