Why do we need to comment on everything? Some things I just agree/like, no comment
Coz we a lazy bunch. Deal with it.
No comment needed if it’s that good.
Commenting draws attention to yourself, which invites scrutiny and judgement. An upvote is (mostly) anonymous.
Also, upvotes take way less effort, always going to be more of those (unless a fight breaks out in the comments or something)
You mean one thousand upvotes and a comment? Lol I think the most upvote I have ever seen on a post was like 12k.
Apparently, it’s a little over 7k and it’s about beans. I heard that lemmy will upvote anything. This is literally just a can of fucking beans
Is that what kicked off the beans era? That was some good times.
Don’t forget the Jeans era
I designed and bought a jeans wrap for my PlayStation controllers because I thought it would be funny for a meme post. They took forever to arrive, looked absolutely awful, and didn’t stay on.
Lesson learned, don’t buy those sketchy upload a picture controller wraps.
Don’t remind me of the jeans era.
that post happened during the time Lemmy had the most active users, so there is that
Also during the time Lemmy was most excited about beans. One of the golden ages, to be sure.
Its depressing that I’m living through another golden age… Last time it was reddit, before that it was msn messenger. I can’t even remember what was before that. Probably chisels and slabs of rock.
What the fuck are you talking about, Jesse?
During the initial reddit migration, Lemmy/Kbin had a larger active userbase than it does now. It fell off a bit after a little while, though its slowly creeping back up there with a more committed community.
But basically there were more users to upvote beans at that point
Same lol. Here since the ‘beginning’
It’s been a long road…
The transition away from “the bad place” has done me a lot of good. I’d only been a lurker and occasionally commented prior. Finding the fediverse Trek community, at least as I initially saw it (old Risa), encouraged me to engage in what has now become a much loved hobby.
I see the same, top all time post with 8112 upvotes
I wonder if it has anything to do with what instances your instance is federated with
That is exactly what it has to do with
Do instances count votes differently or separately? I don’t even know.
Yeah, it’s sort of an odd part of the threadiverse. Every instance calculates based on what they’re notified of which means the age of the server along with what other instances it’s federated with impacts the count
Good question. How many upvotes does it have on your end?
7.135
