People who refuse to learn how to drive a car, why? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

According to medical checkups, I am fine, but I know for a fact I am not a safe driver. I have bad attention span, sight, reaction, field of view, and tiredness issues. I am ideologically repelled by cars. And it looks feels dull to me to drive and also to study for an exam.

What's the most basic thing you can't do? in c/[email protected]

recognize, remember, confront people. anything people.

does anyone recommend any Firefox alternatives? I genuinely hate Firefox's UI and keybinds and the scrolling tabs

not not showing up, comments not being posted altogether. the post was about being unable to comment on some specific posts from different instances, being able to comment on other posts from the same instances, it has nothing to do with that. and no, I do, the same type of phenomenon does happen with upvotes, just to a minor degree. because downvotes provoke a bigger reaction. I'm an example. I just listed the downvotes cause that's what I noticed. I was worried about the downvotes because I couldn't figure out why random comments got downvotes. why do these replies keep having to be this kind of gotcha's

I had already looked for such a question to avoid duplicates. it also seems looking at accounts from other instances changes how you see the voting

I understand, that makes sense. I have a really hard time with good sentence structure

the "as bad" was an oversimplification I made over there, but guess I'm not surprised at that one.

I've posted some controversial stuff, and I understand why I would be getting down voted for that. But I see some of my posts and comments are in the negatives for seemingly no reason at all? I don't really care about the karma because I can't see it anyway, but I'm worried that comments and posts here are gonna get downvoted and dismissed without further consideration solely because of the negative score, like what would happen on reddit. I suspect someone, a troll, a bot, or a misclick downvoted my comment or post and people just followed along downvoting in turn. It's either that, or I genuinely said something bad but I can't figure for the life of me that it is indeed bad. My prime example is my support post for commenting under certain posts, why did that get the downvotes? And I see this kind of thing sometimes on other people's comments as well, and I'm baffled, is it me who can't understand why something is bad, or hive mind came here too?

EDIT: it seems i wasn't clear enough. a) I'm not worried about getting the actual downvotes. I'm worried about downvotes stopping to be a tool to gauge content. b) I'm not worried about controversial opinions' downvotes, I already said I'm not surprised I got downvoted there. I was talking about totally mundane posts, like that one support post. c) I'm not talking about people simply disagreeing, I'm talking about people immediately disregarding a post because of the downvote count. it's not correct to say this doesn't happen, it totally does and... how am I supposed to prove that? all it takes on reddit is see a comment on 0 for no reason and see it quickly drop to -5

What can I do to reduce political news? (lemmy.world)
 

I don't want to block world_news and news altogether, I still want to see the less political and the non ukraine war related news, so what other options do I have?

What's a true fact that is so misleading it's borderline misinformation? (lemmy.world)
 

What would be some fact that, while true, could be told in a context or way that is misinfomating or make the other person draw incorrect conclusions?
