Just wish there were more transparency around counts and content engagement.

I firmly believe most influencer these day were propped up with payed views and botted engagement. Not that lemmy is the same but it all feels so dirty.

    This is how you end up with echo chambers.

    It’s fake internet points, the amount you have doesn’t matter in the slightest. There’s no reason not to downvote what you disagree with.

    The amount on each individual comment does matter, as it affects how the algorithms order comments when showing them to other people.

      You end up with echo chambers by blocking people and communities you don’t like.

      Downvoted content is not only still visible, half the sorting options ignore it.
