Downvoting does both things. I know the downvotes happen for “unwanted” gender stuff happens and that sucks. Both things can be true at the same time and there is no single solution that will make everyone happy.

It doesn’t do it directly. Downvotes promote self-moderation. Posts getting downvoted disincentivizes someone from posting another thing that might get downvoted. When you take downvotes away, people are less inclined to self-moderate and it shifts the burden to a mod.
Well, regardless of how you might feel about the just you’re doing, as a frequent user I think you’re doing great. Moderation of any platform is a thankless job. It’s a lot like politics where the people that want moderation power probably aren’t the ones that should have it.
Downvotes. I think they should be on. I know brigading is def a problem. But on the other hand, not having downvotes enabled forces users to rely on reporting everything to a mod instead of letting the downvotes do their job.
The costs and donation stuff. That’s a lot of personal investment without much in return. Once I’m employed again I’d love to help out somehow.
Good luck on the UI stuff. I been on Voyager app on IOS since it launched so I have no opinions.
Keep up the good work amigo!

Politics@beehaw.org•Naomi Klein: If Biden Wants to Stop Trump, He Should Step DownEnglish
10·2 years agoI remember this as well and I posted about it either here or the r/ and got downvoted all to shit over it. Gaslighting that it never happened. He said something about being a transition pres, bringing people back together and would hand o er the reins or some shit. I voted for him and he got his 4 years. Now the old Warhawk has lots of potential conflicts to get us mired in and doesn’t want to give up the chair.

954·2 years agoIt costs too much to be out and be social. There is no place for people to congregate that doesn’t require you to spend money. Even churches have $ expectations. In most places the local public library is the last free third space. I know everyone seems to love remote work, but for me remote work forced the place of my biggest stress to be in my house and I hate it. I’ve been mostly remote for the last 13 years and I’ve realized that I need an onsite work place so I can maintain my home as my place of relaxation and escape.

Fuck this dead eyed AI shit. Can’t we ban this garbage? It’s great if you want to get people to block your community.
I’m sure Spider Georg and I will have a great time sleeping together.
Happy simping!
I didn’t body shame. Some people like fake boobs. Some don’t. I dont have a strong opinion about them either way.
The only person ascribing a negative connotation to the word fake is you.
The post asked for a one word description of said boobs. They are quite obviously fake and is the first thing that pops into my head seeing those.
I hope this exchange has been very rewarding and fulfilling for you.
You white-knighting? I didn’t say fake was bad. Take a break buddy. It’s okay.
norske@lemmynsfw.comtoAsk Lemmy NSFW@lemmynsfw.com•How to explore bisexual curiosities?English
10·2 years agoKitchen Table Poly (KTP) it’s a type of Ethically Non-Monogamous (ENM) relationship where not only are all parties aware of the existence of each others partners, but everyone gets along well enough to sit together at the kitchen table like old friends and share a meal.
Some ENM relationships aren’t like that. Maybe one partner is good with the other having relations with others, but don’t want to know the people.
Another commenter mentioned about converting a monogamous relationship into a non-monogamous being difficult. It sure is and not a lot of relationships survive. But they are magic when they do.
norske@lemmynsfw.comtoAsk Lemmy NSFW@lemmynsfw.com•How to explore bisexual curiosities?English
19·2 years agoShort answer? No.
Doing sexual things with another person w/o the knowledge and consent of your partner is cheating. Kinda a full stop there.
There are relationship dynamics out there though, like Ethical Non-Monogamy (ENM), where as long as you and your partner have clear communication and boundaries, you could explore those interests.
I’ve lived a 100% monogamous life up until about a year ago. My wife and I had a lot of conversations and big emotional talks. I came out as potentially being Bi (spoiler alert, I am). She had some things to come out about as well. We both came to the realization that our relationship structure wasn’t working to meet both of our wants and needs.
We are now living more of a “Kitchen Table Poly” lifestyle. It just took trusting my partner and exposing my deepest hidden secrets to the person I love most.
There’s a lot of great literature out there about non-conforming relationships. One I’d recommend checking out is called The Relationship Escalator.
All this stuff takes a mountain of trust, communication, vulnerability and most of all, a desire for your partner to be happy.
Sorry if my response is all over the place. I’m pretty scattered today, but I’m happy to answer questions.
