Yeah but I don’t ever use or look at that. Honestly, almost never go to look for shit later on here, so not a habit I have. So if I did save it, I wouldn’t see it til like 6 months from now and I’d probably just go… why the fuck is this saved? And delete it.
it's not about anger, the point of downvoting is to put low effort or other random crap comments below any others that may actually contribute to the topic.
That doesn't work for me on Lemmy because in the app I use it doesn't sort comments that way. So I see the comments basically newest first. This is reddit behavior is what it is.
Sync doesn't do this by default (I haven't changed any settings to this effect). I'm currently in settings now looking for a setting to change just to see.
Edit: Under settings there is an option for setting comment views (settings/comment options/comment views). However it defaults to new. Additionally it does the same thing in my bed browser using Alexandrite.
The point is though this doesn't work for everyone using Lemmy and it's definitely a carry-over habit from reddit and similar messageboard style sites.
Lemmy is meant to be a direct alternative to reddit and it copies plenty of design and user elements from there that don't necessarily fit with the overall user use case here. There are whole instances without downvote buttons for example. This is an over-arcing statement that lumps together a bunch of instances and user bases that don't necessarily comply with such a notion.
