You should sort by new so you can see cool new posts rather than only what "is popular" which blocks nourishment to newer and less-popular posts

New is nice to visit but I don't think many could stay there. I've tried repeatedly to make it a habit but I don't want to up vote that much furry art. And I want to participate in German memes because I recognize the format but I'm not good enough at German to fit in. And much of the news is too regional specific (so much so that New gives a good idea of how Atlanta, GA is doing hourly) which makes it irrelevant to me.

There are many reasons not to visit New. Pity votes for content that wouldn't survive otherwise would make the overall tone of Lemmy feel sadder.

I've already seen the light, wow?! Seriously, I didn't realize we had or would have the same moderation situation.

For comment sort, definitely like Hot or Top from now on. What is the distinction, level of engagement or what?

Edit: I feel better already. Moderation really cannot be a free for all wow. That was insane turnaround time for me

Beware all: OP is either a really early prototype comment bot, or a Gordian knot of synapses. Either way, deleted comment chains, low-quality edits on edits on edits while demanding proper grammar usage from others..

Whatever @[email protected] is, it's designed to sap energy. Don't interact.

Yes. I can’t put my finger on it, but they’re just weird. Doesn’t seem like a troll or mean spirited, just strange.
- They/it was being pretty rude to people who'd answered the original question in good faith, but hadn't explicitly broken their response up per normal academic standards.
  
  It was quite petty and pedantic, needlessly. OP edited comments after getting called out to look a bit nicer, but yeah. Dunno what's wrong with them.
A real cheese grater of a human being.
Bad bot

The one thing preventing me from engaging with new posts is that I can’t tell what’s just a bot repost from reddit. Kinda annoying actually the bot traffic, some bots will have bot in their name and I can easily block those but I’m seeing bots that have normal looking names and I’m not going to dive into the user post history to suss out another bot I have better things to do. There’s no shareholders invested in lemmy ,why bother drumming up fake engagement with bot reposts? I’m not engaging with those no matter how hard you spam. So until that changes, I think I will continue sorting by popular.

I think its true so I can't actually changemyview but I wanted to elaborate on the post; additionally, it is more democracratic since anyone can easily be heard/seen like right away

Bitch, please?!
