Exactly, and I think that there’s even more downsides as well to strictly comment level disagreement. There’s never any point engaging with bigoted posts. Replies just draw more attention and make you more angry. Better to just downvote, report, and move on without spending too much emotional energy trying to bicker and squabble for a while thread.
There’s just an emotional inequity when it comes to a debate between, for example, a transphobe and a trans person. A transphobe likely knows everything they say can be bullshit - they don’t have to stick to reason. The whole point is just a rhetorical exercise where the cruelty and sadism is the point.
The trans person tho has to stick to researching the dsm v or guidances from credible medical institutions and respond with effort posts and Yada Yada. Everyone’s eyes glaze over and the end result is the trans person is exhausted and feels worse about their life.
Downvote and move on is just a means of reduction of digital self harm. I find it bad to not have it for cases like that, especially on communities where mods aren’t as caring about bigotry. To leave it unchallenged just shows that some people agree with it, and shows nothing to effect of how many people find it repulsive.
They’ve been saying mod tools have been coming since the first blackout years ago. It’s fucking ground hogs day everytime mods get pissed
I mean, look at EEE like Microsoft did in the 90s.
Personally, I’m also scared about Linux after Linus dies. They are on a lot of the board as well
I’d also worry about people who have corporate shit on there. Anyone who uses this as a tool should probably delete their chats and change their password, even if you don’t have anything proprietary or ground breaking in there just as a precaution
touch screens for cars especially is a god damn mistake
ChatGPT is my programming rubber ducky for general stuff
