The highest grossing video game franchise of all time will soon launch its latest installment, but we should be paying more attention to a 2012 predecessor.

Disabling downvotes by server admins on Lemmy is dumb and does not make any sense.
  • You can't force people to be positive, they might still leave negative comments.

    Lemmy is still small, so users don't have the option to choose servers as they please. For instance, I'm looking for an instance where you don't need an email to register (for privacy reasons) and where you can quickly create an account (I don't have the patience to wait for days to get my account). Also, it should have a good number of federated servers working with it.

    With these specific requirements, there are only a few servers available.

  • Disabling downvotes by server admins on Lemmy is dumb and does not make any sense.
  • Downvotes discourage reposts more than anything.

  • theloop.ecpr.eu Why are Russians struggling to access YouTube?

    In Russia, it is becoming increasingly difficult to get a reliable connection to YouTube, as the Kremlin seeks to limit access to global content. Newer platforms like the Russian Rutube offer only limited content, leaving users feeling disconnected. But is this strategy truly beneficial for the Krem...

  • I would downvote this comment also if I could, but sadly my instance disable downvotes. (◕‿◕)

  • Disabling downvotes by server admins on Lemmy is dumb and does not make any sense.
  • How about this: you can choose whether you want to disable downvotes in your Lemmy client, and everyone can live happily ever after.

    Disabling downvotes by server admins on Lemmy is dumb and does not make any sense.

    By default, Lemmy allows downvotes globally. However, when a server disables downvoting, it is similar to using a feature that is usually reserved for enterprises and very small, non-federated communities.

    If a user prefer to not see downvotes, they can disable it by his favourite client settings, but the rest of the community should not miss this functionality for the pleasure of few users.

    Is emily420queen Telegram builds for YouTube safe?
  • I don't know how much are you involved in the android modding community, but literally millions of users install apps from Telegram.

  • Is emily420queen Telegram builds for YouTube safe?
  • 2 things: her builds seem to be lighter + it's more convenient to install it from there.

  • Hundreds of Rockets fired towards Israel
  • According to this article:

    (They reference IDF, so they might be wrong, but assuming they are correct)

    Iran shot 180 missiles, and Israel intercepted most of them.

    So far, there is official information about two injured citizens in Tel Aviv.

    I don't think this attack was significant in any means.

  • Hundreds of Rockets fired towards Israel
  • Am I the only one who thinks of this as a political play between Israel and Iran?

    When Israel hits a target, I don't hear about it till I see the damages and the casualties.

    When Iran tries to hit a target, I hear about it several hours when it's in the air and it still did not hit anything, and the next day I hear that every country around Israel had shot some of the missiles fired, and Israel themselves shot down the rest.

    It feels like Iran just wants to demonstrate that they have the expertise to shoot missiles, without actually shooting anything that can cause a real damage.
