I guess there’s two perspectives you could look at it from here.
Apologies for the run-on sentence.

If I knew anything about Matrix, let alone Matrix sysadmin work, I would totally help. That’s why I’m on bark.lgbt’s Matrix server instead lol
Shit… guess that’s how it works.
Fuck morals, fuck purity. Live once in a while, you know?
The way Lobe describes the deathclaw made the creature even more attractive to me… what the fuck?
I can only get so hard lmao
The logical part of me wants to say “Perhaps, but there would be no evolutionary advantage to emulating a species on a planet primarily inhabited by animals that cant stop trying to blow each other up.”
But the furry part of me really really really hopes there is.
I’ve gone under a metric fucktonne of names online, but here are some pieces I’ve drawn for myself and others. You may remember me as CosmicK9, NkoliStvnsn, ChunkleChip or even Faux-Pa (2sofp, 20-Shades-of-Faux-Pa, etc.). I have a certain affinity for canine/canid characters ;)
I’m still accepting free artwork requests on my website at requests.collins-corner.cc. If you would like to request a piece, please be sure to read my ART and TOS.
While it may be a little demoralizing to see a downvote on something you care about, 'tis a part of life. When I see something I posted get downvoted, my first instinct isn’t to assume it’s people being malicious. I take it as an oppurtunity to look at the post and ask myself “what is it about this post that people don’t like?”.
I noticed another person brought up the YouTube Dislike removal thing, and I’d like to add that programmers were rightfully upset to the point of creating a third-party API and browser plugin just to bring it back. That was more in response to the rampant amount of misinformation and scam videos on the platform, but I think it has some resonance here as well. I don’t think taking away a feedback mechanism, regardless of it’s potential for abuse/harassment, is a good idea.
If I may, I’d like to bring in another comparison- E621. Say what you may about E6, but the up/downvote system there works well because some posts just aren’t good. Sure, it may have passed the janitors, but the post itself and/or it’s contents may be objectionable. With E621, you can hide posts that pass a certain score threshold. This is a good way filter out some of the more… questionable things for a lot of users on top of the existing blocklist system they have in place. Some people may try to game the score system to artificially boost or dump a posts’s score, but the admins/moderators are pretty good at nipping that in bud, so to speak.
Finally, I’d like to bring in the (#)fediblock argument. Even if an instance blocks another, it doesn’t stop the offending instance from replying/reacting to posts that it may have discovered through a relay or another instance. All it does is stop the defending instance from seeing the reply/reaction. Disabling downvotes is the same thing. You can just hop to another instance and see if your post was downvoted.
For now, until the lemmyverse becomes a bit more stable, I don’t think messing with any core functionality is a good idea. It is definitely something worth revisiting again at some point. Who knows? Maybe the developers are working on something to address these concerns.
Gay, Grey-Romantic (I experience romantic feelings in a way I can’t really explain), Grey-Gender (He/They)
or the tl;dr version, gay and queer
Cinnamon on Manjaro.
Yes, I know using Manjaro is cheating, but I could not be arsed to set up a DE by hand for the upteenth time. Manjaro Cinnamon ISO go *brrrrrrrr*
The fuck he is… both of them are irrelevant chuds.
Is there any sort of advantage to getting it from the F-Droid repo as opposed to IzzyOnDroid? I have it from IOD and haven’t encountered any sort of issues.
I don’t really know much about how Lemmy works under-the-hood, but from my previous experience with running Akkoma and Mastodon instances, you can have your instance subscribe to a relay to have messages from other instances pushed to yours. They’re only really useful for smaller (<1,000 users) instances.
In this context, since I don’t know if Lemmy instances can be subscribed to a relay (I don’t see why not since it is ActivityPub under-the-hood after all), I’m not entire sure.
My god… I’m a furry, and even this is too much for me.
FUCK YOU I WONT DO WHAT YOU TELL ME https://youtu.be/jPWYcjypSWo
Holy fuckles, knuckles. Why did it blow it up like that?
