Well that would make sense as to why I have no idea how to enable it:
I don’t use Voyager, that kind of feature literally doesn’t exist in my client.
… Maybe I can figure out a way to enable some web version of it, at the instance level? Just occasionally run/update it from my PC, kinda like running a webscrape algo?
Not sure.
Presumably there is a repo somewhere I could clone and fork/fuck up to my own ends, lol.
But anyway… perhaps oddly, the way I use lemmy is more like … I sometimes updoot, more often forget to.
Rarely just downvote something.
If I see a comment that is what I deem to be very incorrect or misguided, first, engage with that person in good faith.
If they either don’t respond or respond, still maybe disagreeing, but also in good faith?
Fuck, I’ll upvote that. That’s the point of a discussion forum, imo.
But, if they reply in bad faith, or with just basically gibberish or insults, or are determined to be selectively illiterate, and they persist in this, I block em.
… I have a lot of people of my block list.
If there was some actual crowd based feedback mechanism that punished being an obstinate, inconsiderate ass… as opposed to punishing being broadly factually wrong or having an unpopular take… I think that would make for a much better discussion board type of environment.
So, untill that gets invented, I basically just try to do it for myself.
You want people to feel safe in potentially being simply wrong. How, otherwise, can anyone learn or grow or be conceptually challenged?
