I saw one user get heavily downvoted and I looked at their reputation and it was a large negative number. Sure it's just internet points, but it's something I could automatically detect and block with a script someday.

Has an automod ever run over a dog turd and spread it all over the floor?
I had a half-baked thought that an instance and a bare-bones mobile client should be set up specifically for newcomers, with a utility for transferring to another instance when they feel knowledgeable enough to decide. The client could have tooltips or a tutorial bot to gradually introduce fediverse concepts.
Yes but when can we use ||spoilers||
There is, and I commented on a thread they had. But I'm too much of a noob to get back to it and get you a link.
I think this is the original post:
Seems like a case for r/selfawarewolves ... If that's a thing that still exists.
Infinite scroll did not fix it.
I was noticing that, too. Maybe I'll turn on infinite scrolling in the options.
Apparently it's "research" funded by an office furniture company.

I'm in the US and I can't think of any real third places in my current community. I used to have them when I lived in Kansas City years ago, in the Westport area and around the university (UMKC), but that was sort of unusual in the wider metro area.
Sometimes I wonder if US law, especially tort law, has contributed to the decline in third places. As in, if you are going to have a lot of people in a space, you must have insurance because there's a lot of exposure to normal risks. Like the cost to just be a human in a place is too high -- unless those people are paying you.
It's just a thought and I don't have an essay full of citations. It may be a minor factor in what is mostly a car-dependency symptom. What do you think?
