But the advantage is that Lemmy allows Tor. 😅

    For some of the really prolific posters, yes. But there are also lurkers like me.

    I doubt anyone can recognize me when I comment or encounter a comment I made.

      User tags make recognizing people a lot easier. I see tagged users a lot. Voyager even keeps a running total of how many times I have upvoted and downvoted particular users.

      There’s one user I have at like -30, tagged as a Nazi apologist. And sure enough, every time I scroll past them, they’re commenting some weird BS.

        Oh, I use that too on my mobile app (Voyager). I am starting to think that once the total votes reach some threshold, either I’d encounter them consistently dishing out hot takes, or I’m primed to think their take is hot and spicy.

    Look at it this way, in a small town people are more likely to be kind and offer higher quality information when asked. The same things can be said about lemmy.

      In game theory, a repeated prisoner’s dilemma can become a stag hunt if the probability of future interaction is high enough. Which is essentially what you’re saying.

    Ita kinda neat imo. It’s like being in a small town and seeing a celebrity whenever satansmaggotycumfart joins the conversation.

    Some people here have a really huge effect. Guys like Stamets, The Picard Maneuver, and MicroWave, I see their posts all the time.

    Also because it allows anyone to easily stalk all your comments for some reason. Creepy.

    I have a feeling everyone knows who I am, and those who don’t haven’t blocked me yet.

    it’s fine. I’m not going to apologize for my opinions because that’s somehow worse than defending unpopular opinions.

    I’d rather be the person who owns their hill and dies for it than someone who runs from hill to hill because the group thinks it sucks.

      I mean, you just mentioned that. Of course someone will disagree, but most probably wont bother. I just wanna know, do you exclude gaining a new perspective from this? Because I’m exceedingly strong willed when encountering illogical or otherwise short sighted points. But sometimes folks just show me a new perspective and I am compelled to agree. Doesnt happen often except in tech questions but here we are.

        I am completely open to new perspectives and have changed my position based on someone else’s opinions. that’s just how we learn and grow.

        I will not change my opinion because someone said it’s dumb or personally attacks me. if anything, I’ll double down on that hill just to spite them.
