YSK: Your Lemmy activities (e.g. downvotes) are far from private
YSK: Your Lemmy activities (e.g. downvotes) are far from private
Edit: obligatory explanation (thanks mods for squaring me away)...
What you see via the UI isn't "all that exists". Unlike Reddit, where everything is a black box, there are a lot more eyeballs who can see "under the hood". Any instance admin, proper or rogue, gets a ton of information that users won't normally see. The attached example demonstrates that while users will only see upvote/downvote tallies, admins can see who actually performed those actions.
Edit: To clarify, not just YOUR instance admin gets this info. This is ANY instance admin across the Fediverse.
You're viewing a single thread.
Edit: Obligatory RIP my inbox.
Can we leave this kinda stuff behind? It is NOT obligatory.
I’m going to start throwing “edit: thanks for the gold kind stranger!” on the end of my comments just to induce some nostalgic cringe.
You are a gentleman and a scholar. /s
That's a pretty common turn-of-phrase in Ireland, I remember hearing it in the early 90s!, and it's still common to hear it from older generations too. I wouldn't equate it with reddit slang/culture at all. I wonder when it made its way to reddit?
That's wildly interesting because it's heavily associated with neckbeard incels (tips fedora) on Reddit because there was a time when it was overused and comparatively fancy for the average yankey american vocal style. It was also often accompanied with "Edit: thabks for the gold, kind stranger!" Thinking around 2011-2013?
edit: my most upvoted comment is about beans.
Lemmy moment
Now that's a big lemmy moment
How many if you gsa's are there?
🥇
I'll be there to link /c/AwardSpeeches or whatever that sub was called.
Redditisms are cringe and always have been. Yes I agree we should leave them behind.
Well, I disagree. Redditsms, or whatever you call them, among other things helped to make reddit as popular as it is (was) right now.
I get you don't like it personally, but your personal opinion about them being cringe, while respectable, is not a fact.
I agree with both of you. We should leave redditisms behind and create lemmyisms. And yes, they get cringe if overused
Possibly relatedly, is this a good place to mention beans? I have not figured out where that meme actually came from, but apparently it’s a thing the cool kids are saying.
The narwhal bacons at midnight!
Never forget the t-shirts
There were T-shirts?
Yes all the bad Reddit jokes and unoriginal lame attempts at garnering upvotes eg making a stupid joke out of a typo (generally unfunny, rare exceptions), I also choose this guy’s wife, take my upvote you bastard, anything along the lines of wow I hate you for making a pun, I’m not crying you are, I feel personally attacked and god knows the list goes on and on
Hopefully these things aren’t just replaced but one can hope
Of those 'jokes' you listed, "I also choose this guy's wife" will never be not funny
I also choose this joke's wife.
*dead wife
Hopefully these things aren’t just replaced but one can hope
if you listen closely you can hear the beans coming our way
c/angryupvote
I think nit picking each others speech is the true cringe redditism
This.
EDIT: Thanks for the awards kind stranger!
EDIT 2: Rip my inbox
This is all examples of reddit shit that is really dumb. We don't need to bring it over here
But it's fun tho...
Besides that. A "disable inbox notification" option is not available yet, is it?
