Ok, I don't trust you.

Have you ever used cheats on single player games when that was still a thing developers put in games? I did, it was fun. That's why.
Of all the formats you mentioned these are supported on popular platforms:
That's why gifs are still a thing.
You can do that now with a heat gun and some very basic tools.
A heat gun is a specialized tool. That's the problem.
The fact that GIF is still a thing in 2023 is baffling
As opposed to what widely supported animated image format?
DING DING DING. Here's Facebook's playbook:
In that case the only people that can answer the question are the engineers from those platforms.
The Fountain
The film score is absolutely fantastic.
I remember a similar case regarding Windows shipping with IE. Whatever happened with that?
What’s with people pretending we are talking about pineapple on pizza whenever hate speech is mentioned?
Because some people (and reddit users in particular) use the strategy of putting everything in the same bag to silence dissent. All it takes is the majority calling 'pineapple on pizza' hate speech and now nobody can talk about it in fear of being called a hater.
I like being able to say what I want without being banned by a power-tripping mod
There's currently nothing stopping a mod from creating a bot that deletes comments below certain threshold or that bans users for commenting on communities they don't approve like they did on Reddit. Only site policies can prevent that.
Do you have a single example to back this up or are you ready to admit you’re just talking out of your ass?
I do. Discussing whether trans women should be allowed to compete in women sports will get you branded as a transphobic right wing nazi in 99% of Reddit's subs, and probably banned too. Once you are labeled your arguments are moot, because you are a hater.
But I wasn’t even talking about women’s sports, I was referring to how there are people literally referring to minorities as subhuman and calling for them to be wiped out. Is that not hate enough for you?
Yes, I would consider referring to minorities as subhuman as hate speech. My point is how easily some people throw the phrase 'hate speech' to validate their own views and silence debate.
For someone so concerned that your arguments might be mischaracterized, you sure are quick to make sweeping assumptions about people you don’t know.
99% of the people in here are Reddit users, I know those very well. I created my Reddit account 13 years ago when it was a thriving site where you could have discussions just about any topic, instead of the echo chamber that it is today. That's why I will continue to call them out here, until eventually they take over like they did over Reddit and all dissenting opinions are banned.
Lemmy only has the voting per individual post and comment, but doesn’t accumulate this as a sidewide score.
Lemmy does have a karma system. Here's yours.
I really enjoyed the concept and story of In Time
If you liked the concept you may want to watch the 1987 short The Price of Life.
Go back to reddit, you’re not welcome here.
No. You already sound like a reddit powermod.
which yes, this does in fact make you a transphobe
Thanks, you just proved my point.
But what’s the actual problem with the ability for posts to have negative scores?
It incentives self censorship that turns sites into echo chambers. e.g. Reddit
Site policies can prevent that kind of behavior in that particular site. It's better than nothing.
That assumes most mods aren't there for the power trip. I believe they are the majority.
I agree, but there already is a karma system.
Also as a right leaning person everytime I say an opinion I get downvoted to hell, which puts my score in negative.
You can see you total score here.
Kbin doesn't require javascript and since they federate with lemmy they will get all the search engine traffic.
Yes it does. Some filtering is done by reddit and some by the mods. Also your votes don't count if you don't have certain amount of karma accumulated on the sub you are voting.
There's currently nothing stopping a mod from creating a bot to do the same. Maybe it's already a thing.
The paper this article is based on is from 2009. I'd argue that's against rule 5.
Anything I don't like = hate speech. Got it.
This whole affair just confirms what many people already knew, mods are addicted to power. That's the real reason they didn't leave.
It did if your karma was low enough. It also affected whether your votes were counted or not.
Nobody cared at all
The mods cared. There were many bots used by moderators that relied on karma, the main one being automoderator.
I agree. One clear example is banning someone for participating on a community the mod doesn't like. Admins should learn from reddit's mistakes and limit what mods can and can't do.

we don’t know that denuvo ACTUALLY impacts sale numbers by convincing those mean old pirates to buy their game
But we do know it improves sales, that's why every game publisher that can afford it is using it. They have years of data to prove it. What do you have?

Are most ignoring the numerous examples of Reddit subs users inferred “likely won’t be a big deal” becoming obviously problematic down the line, with the inevitable ban/quarantine occuring with most upset it wasn’t dealt with from the start?
You've just explained how Reddit became an echo chamber which is the same road lemmy.world is taking.
I think it’s important to make note of the fact that they were banned on Reddit for good reason
Reddit is an echo chamber. Being banned there is not indicative of anything.
Your link talks about the element zapper, the icon that looks like a lightning. The instructions above talk about the element picker, the icon that looks like an eye dropper.
