I have Kailh silent browns and silent pinks and like them. Been using the pinks since I got them because they are very light. My wife uses the Epomaker Flamingo Switch that came with her keyboard - also linear, light and kinda silent

+1 to a megathread. Just noticed I didn’t receive any notification for replies on this post here

My wife and I love this show so much!! We binged the first season when we decided to watch it, and have been watching theory videos on YT after every episode of S2!

Now it’s that looooong wait until S3, and hoping the writers strike doesn’t affect it too much (in terms of both release date and quality)

I like that.

thing is… in the end, karma doesn’t serve as that anyway (indicator of quality). It’s so easy to karma farm by (re)posting content (sometimes even stolen) in multiple communities.

In NSFW communities, at least on Reddit, I see SO MANY posts that doesn’t fit the community they were posted in, but being upvoted anyway because… well… it’s nudity

I loved forums, and we didn’t have anything, except for ‘total posts’ and ‘total replies’ for users. I like that.

I do like upvoting, but I think karma should be hidden. Maybe if you go to user profile and click a button to see the value. It should not show if you hover over the user in a discussion, like Reddit. This is too much incentive for Karma farming.

I don’t like downvotes, and that’s the reason I’m on lemmy.one - no downvotes here at all

My wife got the EPOMAKER TH80 pro and is happy with it! https://epomaker.com/products/epomaker-th80?variant=40057578651721

I guess if you remove the incentive to have high karma, people won’t spam trying to increase karma

sort by new in your subscribed communities (or even one specific community). Why would you browse ALL communities?

Also, what does ALL mean in this context? All communities in lemmy.one? All federated?

I never cared about someone’s karma. I enjoy not even knowing mine, I guess. I guess the only reason I would want karma would be for hiding users with negative karma from conversations but…

1. Since I’m all in for not having downvotes, this is a moot point
2. Probably neonazis don’t have negative karma because some people would still downvote them. So hiding users with negative karma would not help much

I dig Perry Rhodan. Read the first cycle of the original series: The Third Power (vols 1 - 49). The NEO series - a reboot - is being published in english by J Novel Club and, while it has a manga-style cover art, it is not Japanese content. It’s a german pulp series.

Maybe they don’t need to care, if they use desktop/official app.

I think maybe most users there don’t care? Like… maybe most users there use desktop or the official reddit app. Your post being deleted was probably because it wasn’t related to books itself, and the mods there decided that they just wanna keep the community going

because I don’t want anybody downvoting me on any instance, and I don’t want to see downvotes in discussions or have discussions being weighted by downvotes.

exactly. The housing market already sucks for people to be buying a 2nd house specifically to use as AirBnB to profit

A few general recommendations:

Nonfiction:

• The End of Everything, Katie Mack
• The Anthropocene Reviewed, John Green
• Jenny Lawson’s books - Broken, Let’s Pretend This Never Happened
• What If?, Randall Munroe

Fiction:

• Later, Stephen King - it’s a short Stephen King book. I prefer The Institute, but it’s longer
• The Dresden Files series, Jim Butcher - action, mystery, urban fantasy
• Black Water Sister, Zen Cho (YA fantasy set in Malaysia)
• The Dragon Lords trilogy, Jon Hollins - medieval fantasy with comedy and a few twists
• The Color of Magic, Terry Pratchet - Discworld is a great fantasy series with humour

I guess people in general prefer this way - which is probably why 99% of Lemmy instances have downvotes enabled. You can choose any one of them :)

For me, it makes me more stressed about posting stuff, specially since you can be downvote bombed just for saying you didn’t like X book, or whatever.

It also makes me more stressed when reading comments, for some reason. Either when I see an innocent random comment with negative points - I feel bad for the commenter - or when I end up using it as a disagree button and get more stressed. IDK why.

So for me, not having it is way better. Otherwise I maybe wouldn’t even have created a Lemmy account, and used the “opportunity” (Reddit down in flames) to be less online - which I guess would also be a great outcome.

TLDR: some people prefer no downvotes, but most instances allow them. Your user is already on lemmy.ml, so why do you care?

I kinda get it, but why would a post be controversial and at the same time not a reason enough to either report or block the user that posted it?

There are probably a lot of answers to your question on this thread, but let me ask YOU a question:

99% of Lemmy instances have downvotes. This instance doesn’t, and doesn’t even let you create communities, so you would need to browse federated content anyway (instead of local).

So… why don’t you just create an account literally anywhere else?
