Just arrived recently. I like it here. Always felt Reddit was going the way of every other popular site. Think I myself would have trouble giving up the billion dollar payout so can understand it. But I do not have to like it and they are not going to get my few dollars as a subscriber. I don't need the horrible app and new design focused on advertising.

Question. I see the up and down votes randomly on Sopuli. Some show, other don't. I do like the feature as it gauges the support for certain positions. Is there a reason I do not see them?

That will improve his support.

Reddit is a single packaged site. As said, Lemmy is distributed. I find it nearly as streamlined as Reddit but the flexibility of picking your servers means some functions are not consistent across all platforms. Can not expect to do things the same way or get the same answers always when asking Lemmy specific questions. That can be confusing to those that are not particularly tech savy in network systems. Which is a large percentage of the population.

Honestly I don't think that would cause any legal problems.

Actually few have been proven true.

Those were not exactly conspiracy theories. They were investigated and proven. They were illegal from the start.
