What is the benefit here in this case? Basically why do we care who upvotes or downvotes something that it needs to be exposed?

Ah man good times there. I just had classic wow running on my steam deck, hooked up to a custom server. So much fun and surprisingly playable and good since the deck has enough buttons to map everything to.
I’m glad I’m not the only one feeling this way.
Most new Linux users if not all, are unable to make an educated decision on package management. The UI that they think they will like better would be more important.
Are you arguing it’s someone else’s fault if you spill hot coffee on yourself?
I’ve been using MainGear laptops for about 15 years now. It’ll come with Windows and I’ve either dual booted or just wiped it to install Linux everytime. Great prices for what you get hardware wise. My first laptop I bought from them is still running and in use. Never had an issue with Linux running the hardware. But prior to them almost every laptop I had I had issues all from the bigger makers.
Oh haha, yeah that makes more sense
Just because you give money to someone or something it doesn’t make it a charitable organization that doesn’t get taxed.
What provider is that? I have just of my metadata issues resolved but occasionally I find a season all messed up.
You can’t really use home valuation here as a comparison. A homeowner cannot just sell a piece of their house to go and buy another one. Doesn’t really work like that.
Low Earth, and High Earth orbits.
I mean it’s really just giving you a choice on how you want to support the dev. Either by having ads or paying for the application directly. If either of those are too much then head to another app. There are literally quite a few free apps available,which is fantastic, without ads. Free as in freedom to choose doesn’t mean though you should be a mooch and just take and not contribute anything back to the community that you’re a part of.
Why wait and not just start a community up?
I played around with Friendica years ago, it wasn’t at the time much to get into. The idea was to setup a Facebook like server that we could use for our family only. Ended up tearing that instance down as we didn’t really like it at the time. I’m really excited about Lemmy though, so much so I again, went and setup my own corner of the lemmy-verse. The ideals this is built upon are the ideals that grabbed me into the internet so long ago, freedom and resiliency and the ability to discover something new, not have some algorithm throw it at you. I look forward to seeing this platform continue to grow and being a more active participant in it. Go LEMMY!
I had to look up astroturfing in this context, so hopefully I got this right. But isn’t that just the actual commenting then? Obviously voting could get that comment moved closer to the top when done by the perps in this case but I think it would take the community to also be up voting the comment for it to rise to the top. I also don’t think knowing who commented actually fixes this issue nor does it give more ability from an admin perspective to get rid of those comments if that was desired.
I could be missing something though.
