It's hard to read, due to low contrast. I like the content though.
Thank you, I'll probably touch it up later with actual inserted text fields. Running out of my available free time for the day but it was hot off the press and wanted to get it out there while it was still relevant lol.
Im not sure if I agree. All it takes is one weirdo who now knows you down-voted their one link/discussion/comment and now you have someone stalking you. At least with the current system its not explicit, so only the truly dedicated can find that out.
The truly dedicated can: spin up their own instance, host a bunch of content, wait for you to downvote, then check the logs. Much work to find someone to stalk :)
Whereas I just select someone at random to stalk. Like @Track_Shovel @Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net They're a dirty miner! Ewwwww. ;)
You're asking to engage and interact with a public space (voting is interacting) which defines and creates the tone with complete anonymity. That's not how a conversation or public debate works and is only new to the internet. I think it's been a negative (if we are suppose to view a downvote as only off-topic or spam). No spam bot would bother stalking you, anyone else would be outed with 2 clicks and can be blocked or probably better reported so they're not stalking others on the platform who do comment with their username attached. This is outing the abusers, who would abuse regardless if it's you or the OP.
Im again not sure I agree.
Anonymity online, much like secret ballots in ancient Greece and other societies, is designed to protect individuals from harassment and bias, encouraging a more diverse participation. Downvoting isn't just for spam but also reflects disagreement, and removing anonymity could discourage honest expression. Instead of exposing users, which risks harm, improving moderation and reporting tools is a more balanced approach.
And one of my posts is literally being used as an example by the larger community.
Okay, sorry, I attempted to draw this as a comic on my phone but it didn't go well, so I settled for a single meme frame instead. I thought this was hilarious, but I guess the joke didn't get through this way. I'll think about whether I should draw it in hand and post again.
I can't even read the first bit. It's not salty if it's true.
