My friend who never watches anime always goes on about the same point and I just have to laugh because there are maybe 2 shows matching that description out of 100 in a year.

You didn't list one of the main uses of a downvote: lowering the visibility of poorly made or unfitting content. If you believe that a post or comment does not contribute to or belong in the community or discussion, your only recourse in most places is to downvote. Yeah ideally mods would remove every such post but that ignores the fact they are few in number, often absent, and generally follow their rules to the letter instead of moderating on vibes.

I enjoyed 7 when it first released. The visual style in the first 10 minutes was appealing and I figured we were retreading the same notes for nostalgia before going on a different plot with Finn. Nope, just poorly written rehashed story lines with nonsense plot devices. So much potential thrown away.

If true, that... explains a lot.

While it is easy to fall into this trap of disagree downvotes, they should really not be used that way. All that does is turn them into a popularity contest. Downvotes should be used on comments that do not improve the thread. This may be because they are wrong, made in bad faith, rude, or otherwise, but not simply because you disagree. Ideally we would have different buttons for this like the forums of old, but no one seems interested in that nowadays.

What the parent comment is saying is the implication is that without Elon's money, he wouldn't consider EVs. So same meaning.

Which is invisible to users, meaning they can ignore it or handwave it with "I haven't got anything to hide".

I have a bad habit of jumping into programming without a solid plan which results in lots of rewrites and wasted time. Funnily enough, describing to an AI how I want the code to work forces me to lay out a basic plan and get my thoughts in order which helps me make the final product immensely easier.

This doesn't require AI, it just gave me an excuse to do it as a solo actor. I should really do it for more problems because I can wrap my head better thinking in human readable terms rather than thinking about what programming method to use.

Especially when people decide to tag NSFW based on swearing... seriously? Thankfully I have not seen it much on Lemmy, but this is a common occurence on Reddit dashcam subs.

Because Canada, woo! My definitely not picked on a whim choice has yet to fail me though, I haven't personally experienced any downtime or slowdowns and I like the community overall.

The problem with the active sort is seeing the same post I've scrolled by for three days now and didn't care about in the first place. We need much easier methods to hide posts before that sort filter has any use to me.
